Collins to Wolves is a deal I'm a little bit jealous of, has real potential that lad. 20m is a pretty steep price admittedly, but if he improves a fair amount in the next few years as you would expect from a 21 yr old, could be a real top defender.

Maybe we can go in and take a certain Max Kilman off their hands, another one I rate as a decent option.

Personally think £20m is a bargain for what he is, will do well for them and teams will be quoted £50m+

I lived in Qatar for 2 years. 9 months of the year the weather was beautiful, the other 3 months were He'll on Earth! Temperatures in excess of 50C with humidity over 90%. At 5am I used to walk 15 seconds from the front of my apartment to my Ute and I would be soaked through with sweat by the time I got to the motor. I sweated so much the salt rotted my work clothes eventually.

Northern Queensland was the same, though slightly cooler at around 45C when I worked in Weipa. Cloncurry was hotter, but very dry heat, so was easier to handle.

Dry heat is relatively easy to handle, you just make sure you hydrate properly, but humid heat is virtually unbearable with the amount of electrolytes you lose. I was going through 2 packs of diarolyte a week in Qatar to replenish, along with 24 litres (no that's not an exaggeration) of water a day!

Twelve years in Colorado living 8,000ft above sea level mean that humidity was almost non-existent. The thin air was the enemy of fitness, and it took me months to get adjusted.

I used to hike the mountains, and in Summer, Pikes Peak at 14,000ft impossible for me to walk more than fifty yards without a break when we were on the summit.

For sure high humidity is the killer and when i look at some old black and white pictures from the twenties in Florida, they feature men wearing trousers, full length shits and jackets in the middle of the day during Summer.

God knows how they survived.
 
BTW for anybody thinking that Danny Rose had moved on a couple of years ago to Watford...... if you google Danny Rose he's currently playing for Spurs u23's

I assume getting fit with agreement from his current employer Watford

Bizarre but true

I thought Lewandowski was their number one priority once they got some cash coming in.

Barca have unsettled him at Bayern, and he's allegedly agreed to a lower salary to join. But Bayern will look at the transfer fee Barca are paying for Raphina and presumably continue to ask for serious money to allow Lewandowski to leave.

Robert Lewandowski 'rejects PSG and signs £9m contract with Barcelona'
