Hi Eds,

Two quick questions if I may:

1) Do you know if UEFA are investigating Fellani's elbow from Thursday?

2) Do you know if the club ever purchased the £2M training machine to improve control that Dortmund use? (Guessing at the cost and it's the very large round training equipment that fires footballs at the player from various angles and positions. )

Thank you as always,

Bryan.

There's quite a bit of interest in the Footbonaut, they are a fantastic training tool, it's used a lot by the clubs that have them to help with a players sharpness and reaction time after coming back from lengthy injurys. The cost isn't the prohibitive factor it's more down to space at training grounds as the complete structure of them and the building there housed in takes up quite a bit space. Not sure if there's many back home, but we take our lads a few times a year to one in Aus. Great way to train and assess players, hell of a lot of fun too.
