Gustavo Scarpa

Gus plays the guitar, he can complete a rubik's cube in less than 5 minutes and has a big collection of psychology books that he reads regularly and takes everywhere with him.

That is incredible.

I was actually messing around with one yesterday for about half hour and it didn't look any different to when I started.

Its quite easy actually if you remember back to school days, there are 2 methods:
1. The nerd method, learning the code and memorising the sequence, handy to identify school swots.
2. The one everyone else did. Stick a knife in the middle and twist until it falls apart and then rebuild it with the colours in the right place.

Are you saying that Scarpa is cheating with that rubiks cube then SM?

One great pass from Gus last night to Williams although he was only on the pitch for a short period of time. I really enjoyed that little exchange he had with Lodi too.

Perhaps having a brazilian team mate will help bring the best out of Lodi. He did look a little off the pace perhaps but some of those passes were majestic. It's going to be the highlight of every game when he comes on.

I liked the pass too serge to on half turn very simple pass by got us on the front foot straight away it was not square or behind him it was into the space he was running i think we could see mangala making room for him in certain games especially if he can show his defensive qualities.

One of the biggest strengths top teams have is a balance between left and right side of midfield - lack of left footed players compared to right is one reason inverted left forwards are so prominent. The ability to be able to switch attacks on both flanks is what separates good and great teams. Having a strong left flank will help us no end as the right flank combination with Aurier Yates MGW and Brennan becoming really strong both ways. If we can get that going on the left side then it will help no end - it’s why we looked so balanced last year with Keenan Davis, Colback and zink. Scarpa Lodi Lingard / MGW Taiwo could be just as effective - probably why we will be looking for another left forward other than Dennis.

The man's an absolute loon. He's just posted an Instagram video of Brennan, Neco and Renan all doing Rubik's Cubes, then him pulling a face as if to say 'what have I done?'

It doesn't look like he's having any issues bonding with the rest of the squad.

I think he's fantastic. Clearly had a positive effect on the players. Tailor made for what Cooper is all about.

[Joe Baker Legend]

He's ace.
