Keith must be sick of schlepping to the airport this summer, between us and then he's probably been up coming up a dozen times.

Unironically, it's how Sky Sports can keep themselves relevant these days. They're very very rarely first to a story anymore - so having the first video gets him shared on social media etc.

I imagine he'll have contacts in all three clubs logistics departments, or in the airports themselves, and just know when flights are coming in and just be there to film it. Which might be how he got the Adingra story earlier this summer (as Adingra was on his way up when the news broke).
 
Got a good feeling about this one, he is known as "The Wall of Asunción", I think he'll become "The Pier of Roker" or "The human stottie".

I wish one of our signings would take an environmental stand though and refuse the private jet and arrive on an easyJet.

Definitely has a contact at the airport, as he’s airside when taking the videos.

Scarfing tomorrow, hope he's good. We are going to need serious help stopping the goals flying in.

You could say the same for at least 6 other teams in the premier albeit you prefer to be downbeat about safc

Time for a little scroll on fbref again. So plus points:

1. Player he’s apparently second most similar to is Murillo; if he’s anywhere near his quality we’ll be laughing.

2. Vs CBs in the top 5 leagues he’s in the top 4 percent for clearances, and top 13 percent for aerial duels won.

3. Apparently makes 0.03 defensive mistakes per 90, so a very confident defender.

4. He’s in the top 9 percent for take ons at the back so must look to take the ball out a bit which could be vital in the transition.
