    My point is that the fans are p*ssed off and it makes sense to announce signings ASAP from our point of view.

    That's why I don't reckon we have anything finalised at all, moreover the selling clubs often announce sales/agreements.
    WE CAN'T OFFICIALLY SIGN ANYONE FROM OUTSIDE OF THE DOMESTIC LEAGUE UNTIL 1st JULY.

    We'd be stupid to announce something before it's properly ratified.

    As far as players from The Prem are concerned, there could be any number of reasons why we can't announce signings. For one, if a club is letting a player go, they have to replace them too....and if their replacement comes from outside England, then they're not going to want to let a player go until they're confident they have a signature.

    Fucksake.
    We can't officially sign them till July but we can have the deal as good as done. As for replacing players who are leaving, I've long said we should do that, but it doesn't seem to be the way it works.

    I'm well aware of that, they can't officially sign till the 1st but you'll find the selling clubs often come out and confirm agreements before.

    Besides, last time I looked Samba is playing in the PL.

    We can have the deal all but done, yes. But we won't announce it until it is done.

    From a fans point of view, what would be more annoying, announcing a player, only for the deal to fall through....or just getting them signed and announcing it in a couple of weeks when it's official?

    With regards signings, I'll believe it when I see it.....too many false dawns for us, seems people are falling into the trap of believing media BS so far.

    Even the rumour of signing Benzema for 24.5 million, now come on would we spend that kind of money.....like f*ck we would.

    A lot of this stuff is wishful thinking rather than reality IMO, look at our transfer activity in recent years.

    I think we've signed Oxlade as its all gone quiet for all teams. The others we're still haggling for.

    Maybe we're not signing Samba!

    the club didnt officially announce we signed Chamakh until the window opened even though we all knew it was done, same with Eduardo, Kos, Reyes and RvP. We are a quiet club about transfers, deliberately so we dont get raided by the likes of Madrid and Citeh. Its a better way IMO

    Once clubs have agreed and a player is happy with the terms I can't see a deal falling through. Sure they can't sign on the dotted line till July but they can be as good as signed well before that. There's been plenty of examples in the past.
