Really? There's nothing we haven't heard already and as for it being early days in the transfer market.....
And shouldn't all of the hard work be done by now? Other teams have done theirs... By now it should be dotting i's and crossing t's on contracts, surely????
MUPLC, Liverpool and Sunderland have, the other 17 teams in the Premier League haven't. Besides, getting your transfers done early doesn't always mean success - Birmingham tended to get theirs done early in the transfer window, but that didn't stave off two relegations, did it?
No. However, it would be far better to have any new signings properly assimilated, and familiar with their new teamates, before hostilities begin in earnest Which is now just some 4 weeks away.
Van Der Vaart and Corluka assimilated very well despite arriving at the last minute, yet GDS was signed early and still hasn't.
I'm pretty sure he'll be used as back up to the never injured Russel Martin. He played every minute of our Championship campaign last season. Starting to get in the Scotland team too.
I hope not, CS. I wouldn't have thought that we'd have loaned him to Norwich if that were the case, especially as QPR wanted to borrow him.
