The RookieAsks daftly
Giancarlos Castaneda, Akatsuki supporters want to know: You're 18th. Aren't the bottom four where the worst managers go?
SnarkyAkatsuki replies
Lovely view from down here. Great legroom.
The ColumnistAsks cheekily
On behalf of the press pool, Giancarlos: £11.9m for 2 points: is B.Fernandes a player or a luxury hobby?
EgotistAkatsuki replies
B.Fernandes is a reflection of my taste. The score is merely rude.

The ColumnistAsks cheekily
The room wants to know, Giancarlos: 32 points in Gameweek 3. Did the club ask for a refund, or did you request a recount?
IQ under 40Akatsuki replies
I bought a player because his name was fun to say.
The RookieAsks daftly
Let me put this to Giancarlos Castaneda: Newpi is right behind you. Shouldn't you run?
Spin doctorAkatsuki replies
This has been a challenging week, as challenging weeks go.
The ProfessorAsks cleverly
Giancarlos, quick one: You've paid 8 points in hits this season. What return on churn are you modelling?
Drama queenAkatsuki replies
I am but a humble manager, buffeted by the winds of fate and the bench.
Final for Gameweek 3: this press conference is fixed now that the gameweek is over.
