    Exactly, so why say it's a lie? Be patient. They will come. He communicates fairly openly so let's encourage that to continue. He said it because he believed that we would have 2 or 3 done this weekend. They are not over the line yet, but probably will be in a day or two.

    If you noticed, the announcement of Bertrand was late in the evening, and the photos and video were in bright daylight... even from the signing through the videos and everything, it takes time.

    The earlier you sign players the better. If we are basically waiting until the end of the window in order to save a few pennies, then that is a major dick move, which will very likely cost the team points in the league.

    Anyway, more importantly, how should I man up?

    Norwich signed loads of players early doors last season and it all went tits up.

    Now obviously it depends on the quality of the players, but yeah.

    Of course, but we are a month behind with Koeman coming in a month back. The ideal is to get them in early; we haven't, but I am sure we will be working hard to get them in soon. I doubt very much it is about penny pinching really. We lost our first four games two seasons back; it isn't the end of the world.

    We can field a first eleven that's not worse (probably better) than one we had two season ago. It's not as if we're nailed on to lose every single match until we buy some new players.

    I'm sure we can get a good point haul from the opening fixtures with our team as it is at the moment.

    Yep. You'd think we had no players though.

    A good signing or two before the Bayer game would make a good impression!

    Normally I loathe these expressions, but this one makes me guffaw when I see it. :)

    My advice is to get down to the gym, pull some really heavy weights to build and tone the body, gaze fixedly into a mirror, like an old Western hero, and then run off into the loo and blubber into a handkerchief.

    Modern man.

    We've got some good players. But I still don't fancy going to Anfield with Hooiveld and a debut-making youngster in our back four. A thrashing wouldn't be good for morale.

    Isn't she getting on a bit now? There's been almost a fortnight of young female gymnasts on your telly FLT. Where were you?

    Would imagine the back four would be Clyne - Yoshida - Fonte - Bertrand

    Quietly confident will have a CB soon. And will be our best CB.

    Watching them with my ex-gymnast wife! By the way, Kylie is most definately not getting on a bit... She's my age; a mere spring chicken :)

    Haven't seen Kylie for a while, so will make a judgement tonight. Can you believe she's half a foot TALLER than Fragapane? That is mental.
