      Downgrading Hall to Neco Williams (or another cheapie with a game in 29) could be an option.

      Gives you enough to switch AM to Emery if that's what you're considering?

        Yes I would like to switch Moyes to Emery, Hall downgrade definitely worth considering, could be a better option than downgrading Bruno.

      Penalties taken:
      Kluivert 6/6
      Semenyo 1/1 (FAC without Kluivert on the pitch)
      Evanilson 0/1

      Penalties won:
      Evanilson 5
      Semenyo 2
      Kluivert 1

                        it's an impressive scar sure but he's just returned to light training after 7 weeks out, usually a grade 3 is three months minimum in my experience.
