Picture of the Day - Gael Kakuta

With news just breaking that Chelsea have been banned from making any new signings for two transfer windows after being found guilty of "tapping up" French youngster Gael Kakuta, it seems pertinent to start my "Picture of the Day" series with a shot of the talented midfielder equalising for Chelsea in the first leg of the 2008 F.A. Youth Cup Final, which was drawn 1-1. Opponents Manchester City unfortunately went on to win the trophy with victory in the second leg.

Kakuta himself has been banned from competitive football for four months, which is a shame as he missed half of last season with a nasty combination leg break & dislocation and had just been named in Chelsea's Champions League squad. I'm sure an appeal is imminent.
