A pinch of salt

Hi,
Quite a bit has happened during my forced absence from the Internet. Got to tell you, never have I encountered a wifi connection so appaling in roughly 10 years of my travels. Things are really looking bad for Greece. Anyway, I'll try to keep my overview short, for the benefit of those already familiar with the news.
Yaya Sanogo has finally joined the Club after a lot of talk. If I recall correctly, the transfer happened on the 1st of July. The French international was handed the 22nd number, but has yet to make an appearance as a proud owner of the T-Shirt. Here's hoping he'll have a good pre-season under his belt, though I think he'll be restricted mainly to Capital Cup appearances in the forthcoming campaign.
However, our "out" department seems to have a lot more on their hands, than the "in" one, with Mannone, Denilson, Djourou and Coquelin all leaving, either permamently or on loan, with the futures of Gervinho, Bendther, Chamakh and Park all hanging in the balance.
