"At first glance it could have been an image from Pirates of the Caribbean only with the buccaneers wearing neon bibs and kicking footballs around a field. Instead the setting was the Italian football federation centre in Coverciano where coach Silvio Baldini had tasked his under-21 players with wearing eye patches during training ahead of upcoming games with Sweden and Armenia. The idea is that wearing an eye patch helps develop depth perception and the sharpness of the dominant eye (the one a persons brain relies on more for processing information).

"Ange Postecoglou says he is ready for a fight at Nottingham Forest but does expect to hold discussions with owner Evangelos Marinakis about the future. Postecoglou notched up a seventh game without a win as his side suffered a 2-0 defeat at Newcastle United.

As the transfer system evolves these extremes could become a thing of the past so that the process works better for players and clubs with 'predicted valuation' in line to become a key metric. @mjshrimper"
