According to D.J., getting automatic was going to give us a huge advantage over the team that goes up via play-offs. We were supposed to be getting a couple of weeks advantage for bringing in new players, getting our hands on all the highly rated free bees etc. Next Saturday decides the final team to go up and we still haven't brought in anybody!. There is talk of us having already pre-signed Kieron Lee, but nothing to substanciate it. We have withdrawn from the battle for Ward and we're still trying to arrange something for Batth and Antonio...................plus the pie in the sky signing of Klasnik. There is further talk of us bringing in Koumas (as per usual)......and that's it!!! Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see anything concrete. Tbh, I expected much more. In my naive way, I expected agents to to banging the door down at Hillsborough with all this new fervour and optimism. I do admit to being a tad impatient, but after those episodes with previous targets (i.e. )that never materialized.....wasting valuable time while all the viable talent got picked up by lesser clubs, I do have my reservations. Hopefully the time gained has been put to good use and we do have unknown irons in the fire on the verge of completion, otherwise we're in for a rough ride on our return to the championship. In D.J. and Milan we trust. Please don't let us down for the sake of a few bob!

I think some deals may already be done but as someone said the official window isn't open yet. Also most contracts end on June 1st I believe so the free agents are not technically free yet.
It has been noticeable since MM came in that things do not get reported until the deal is done, so I would assume work is going on in the background and once the ink is dry then it will be announced!!
Besides we can't sign Jordan Rhodes until Sunday, he still has one game left to play!! But at least Plan B is now on a Drogba has been released!!

I love the word eponymous. It sounds like some prehistoric webbed bird or something.
I never quite knew what it meant though. "taken from the eponymously titled album by the cribs"
"TELL ME THE NAME OF THE ALBUM THEN!"

Drogba is taking the 'Lympic torch through SWINDON today. I suspect that's the in for Di Canio to have a quiet word with him, you know how Paulo likes an unexpected jog - he's the mole for Mandy.
We'll get Drog and we can match the £250k /wk wages that China is offering him. FACT.

Hmmm...bit of a worry seeing as he hasnt played a game for a year and seemingly not even been bothered to go all out to find a club, it states that he has other commitments so obviously football isnt his main conern.
He is a class player but the above does worry me somewhat
