Faysal Bettache

Every time I've seen him play, including yesterday, I've been impressed with how well Bettache has done. I don't think he's far behind Carroll in terms of ball control and passing accuracy.

I'm sure Warburton would like him out on loan and is giving him playing time to show his abilities to potentially interested clubs. If he doesn't attract a loan I for one would be happy to see him given more playing time this season.

I agree but he looks like an exact replacement for Carroll and we can only have one such player in the team. Its a shame because I think Ball might be struggling to be fit for Tuesday but I couldn't see MW going with a midfield of Carroll, Chair and Bettache. Even Xavi, Iniesta and Messi weren't that small.

Your point about the size of our players - both height and physique - is a good one. I've been concerned about this for some while.

We also have Amrit Bansal-McNulty on loan in Italy who is a very similar player.

Any news of how he is getting on over there Esox?

Liked the look of Faysal - thought he was looking for the forwards pass which was positive.

I don't think this is true. Chair I will give you, but I think Bettache is about the same size as Ball.

He's supposed to be just over 6' but he doesn't look it and has quite slight build.

They are on a winter break at the moment so isn't playing. He has had mixed success over there and isn't picked for every game. He is 20 now and should be starting to make an impact in sides he is in. It is hard to find Como match reports so difficult to ascertain how he is doing.

Serie C started up again yesterday but Como, ABM's club, had their game postponed. ABM's only played 3 out of 17 games.

Just noticed an article today saying ABM is to return to QPR as he's not getting enough playing time.

...yes, Como has dropped some division recently...they were regular in serie B and even put their nose in serie A sometimes...
it was the club were Tardelli made his name before moving to Juventus....

That makes sense. They loved him at Dartford when he was there.

..honestly I am surprised to know that he was sent to play down in Italy cos their usual style of playing is quite different
from the English one....
