May get an update later from the person I spoke to in the summer, either way - if I do I'll be sure to post it.
Cheers Armstrong.

Obviously none of us know where NC is with negotiations etc. Your right in the fact if NC gets his man, great. My concern is we definitely need decent CB cover which we didn't get in the summer, we don't want to be scrambling around at the end of this window. Would imagine we enquired about Astori before window opened so hopefully negotiations are at advanced stage.
I'm sure I recall Nigel saying he expected two or three to come in. Would expect news sooner rather than later.
He may even be the alleged big signing that didn't get done in the Summer..
Nigel said a couple (which to me is two) but then he went on to say he wouldn't specify exactly. You don't always get what you want, so I hope we have loanees lined up if we don't get players we want.
my wife said she'd spent a couple of quid on a dress ... it was more than 2

My wife said when we were married we would have a couple of kids.....that too was a few more.......Ouch! Those bloody hairdryers hurt..........![]()
Astori has reportedly pulled out of the deal after seeing the rest of his team-mates in action today and said "I'm bladdy good, but I'm not a bladdy miracle worker innit"
On a transfer site, they say the Astori move is 32% probability of happening. To put into context they have the chance of Ramirez leaving for Fiorentino at 40%...so rubbish basically.
Yeah it's typical. Nothing public for the journos to comment on, so to keep the story alive they say it's breaking down, then it makes for a better story when it does happen. Happens with every transfer.
Astori's agent, Renzo Contratto was in Hampshire yesterday. He met both Cortese and Adkins in a meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel. *

Sounds promising. Where's Astori...has he got his boots with him? Can the agent play CB?
