    Tyrell officially done, Telles unofficially done too. A good day.

    Title suggestions?

    Stolen from Lyon gets my vote. Can he can challenge Shaw for a place in the eleven? Also how does Williams fit in the frame of things now?

    Mentioned it in another thread, but he chose #12 which is "The Legion" (Feyenoord Supporters) number never given to any player as mark of respect to he previous / home town clubs supporters.

    Excited for this signing. Proper modern fullback. Shaw is excellent but a lot of what he does is basic, done to a high level. I think right now Shaw will start and should, but I expect healthy competition.

    At this rate Shaw is going to have a hard time getting back into the team

    He has impressed me so far - his attitude, positioning, team play - are all good.

    I think Shaw is going to have to raise his game, but he'll for sure get minutes during the Europa League etc.

    Malacia's advantage is intensity. He doesn't really do anything much better than Shaw. I think he's building an understanding with Martinez and having intense - proactive players near Martinez multiplies his effect. Martinez is so sharp, so quick to close down that he forces mistakes and rushes players into bad touches. Having a LB who does the same and another CB who is aggressive just has a domino effect.

    Malacia is an enigma to me. His movement is so interesting. He can improve as an overlapping fullback but he takes up these wonderful inverted positions where he's like a 10 or an 8. He'll run right down the center of the pitch when it is vacated, providing good value. This position is useful for linking play (obviously) but also for winning the ball back if an attack breaks down.
