But he's also barely played for two years and shown no intention of doing so. Wasn't great at West Brom either. I'd take him on loan, but doesn't strike me as the sort we'd want for a relegation scrap permanently.

Good work, Nige. Not exactly sure where Powell fits in yet, but he's clearly got something about him. Logical step up.

One to put to bed: @SkySportsNewsHQ Sky Sources: Troy Deeney to sign new contract at Watford in next 24 hours #SSNHQ

They're just quoting from English sources. He'd be a cracking signing though, did really well at Valenciennes last season.

Chaps, get real here. We're dealing with a player who's won almost everything there is to win; do you think he's going to be eagerly jumping into a deal with Leicester from the off? He's in a position where he has time to weigh up his options, so obviously he's going to see how the land lies...

Yep. We'll probably get mugged for him by the end, but he's a good age and the right sort of player. I'm not going to cry too much if we spend a bit over the odds on him; Whelan says he's willing to sell for the right price.

@John__Percy Wigan have rejected a £5million bid from #lcfc for midfielder James McArthur this morning. Story to follow on @TelegraphSport #wafc

Presumably Cahill. All things said, though, we're a decent counter-attacking side. Knocky and Mahrez are good at starting attacks from deep (particularly the latter, who did it regularly against Everton), and if Vardy's fit there's every chance he'll put the frighteners up Terry & Co. from those...

I'm generally quite optimistic about this season, but it's hard to think we'll get anything other than a f*cking good hiding here. Hammond and King can't be trusted to control a game against Chelsea, and defensively we're nowhere near good enough. The best hope is frustrating them enough into...

Eek. Think West Ham last season; somehow battled to a 0-0 and should have won it themselves but for Carroll being a carthorse. King proved he can knock it about nicely on Saturday, so it might be worth him and Hammond slotting deeper with Knocky in the hole behind Ulloa. Hopefully Albrighton's...

Reasonably confident, even with the injuries. Gut feeling says draw. Think we'll go with a 4-2-3-1 for this; just the other day Pearson was suggesting that 4-4-2 was dangerous against possession-based teams (of which Everton certainly are). Bit concerned about who the third midfielder might be...

I sent a fruit basket to Lako's yesterday, but got it returned today with three oranges and two banana skins in it. I didn't even send oranges. The deal's off.

Dawson is toss (and his name's not Matt).

Oh aye, I wouldn't expect Kingy to get a starting nod. Was thinking Knockaert might be a good fit there actually.
