Fixed. where are these 4 signings ? it's sunday ffs, when do u get signings announced on a sunday? never When its 24 hours before a major transfer window deadline?

We will sign players. I expect at least two, but they will be what MA said, "young players 22-24". They won't be the galacticos some have been expecting and not even in the "straight into the first team" class that we desperately need. As stated previously, the likes of Guthrie, notwithstanding his good start to the season, are currently first team material because we have no one else. Arda Turan is 21. Does that rule him out? Yes.

But we haven't been doing nothing have we? We've already brought in 4 good players. We've brought in two good players and two squad players and we have let 8 players go, 3 of whom could be considered first team players.. Is it not 3 first team players and one squad player or do you rate Butt higher than Guthrie Guthrie has had a good solid start to the season, he's a tidy player and his passing is excellent. However, if we had signed the players we really need in this transfer window he would only be a squad player.

Agreed, there will be some disappointed hectors tomorrow when the awful truth is unveiled. Still, we might be surprised and Arshavin and Berbatov could be introduced at a press conference on Tuesday. :toke:

I don't think anyone of any note is coming in, which makes the selling of Milner even more galling to me. I certainly don't expect a WOW signing. I was stood outside the offy next door to the Drayton pub a the Emirates yesterday. Minding my own business scuppering a few green grenades when Mike Ashley and his entourage turned up. His bouncer was despatched to get the beers in and Mike was mobbed within seconds by fans asking about new signings. His exact words were "we are looking at 2 or 3, young lads about 22-24, foreigners, because the English market has been done." I'm not holding my breath, he may have something up his sleeve but I doubt it. It's going to be a long hard season.......
