First up then, David, a big exclusive transfer line from you this week as Liverpool

move in on a new centre half, one that isn't called Kula Bali by the looks of it, who appears

to be linked with a move somewhere every three weeks in the media.

So you've avoided Kula Bali. Who is it?

It had to be a centreback beginning with Kay, didn't it, Mark?

It's Ibrahimna Conate.
