Realistically, it's likely we won't sign 'enough' players for our squad prior to the deadline.

If this is the case, can we still sign free agents after the deadline (as we did with JVoH) or does the squad list submission rule mean that we can't add players after the window closes?

Obviously, if we can, it's not ideal but there's a good chance that it'll become a dire necessity.

We can still sign free agents outside the window that were free agents at the start of the window, but there isn't usually much left.

True.

We'd be looking at a Championship standard from across Europe I'd guess.

It's looking likely it'll be a market we need some savvy in now though.
 
At first we were trying hard to get players in before the Leicester game. Then it was were confident of getting players in before the Swansea game, and then this week the club said players will definitely be arriving before the weekend Yet we seem to be as far away as ever from a first team signing
I thought that at first we were gonna have a signing in before the second game in Austria? It's just a sick ****ing joke tbh!
 
Really? Jakupovic better than Hart now? Is he balls. Joe Hart is still the best English goalkeeper and he's one of the few keepers in the world you could class as 'world class'.

Don't believe Hart is world class - his recent performances for England have been embarrassing. **** me that goal Iceland scored was like a dad playing with his kids in the garden and letting them score.
 
I hate it when journalists write articles like this. There is a statement made but nothing in terms of evidence to support it. they just repeat facts about his contract, career stats and clubs linked instead of stating he is likely to join hull because ............... and not west brom because ................. Just lazy Journalism.

I read it & it was awful to read!

We have 19.5 hours to get a player signed on the dotted line to allow them to play on


Is that a deadline before we kick off or the 3pm kick offs?

Pep obviously doesnt think so and he knows better than us, I would keep the Jak, Hart is just another long line in the list of failed England keepers since Seaman, hasn't even got the distribution skills of 36 year old Cabellero
 
Is he though?

Imagine Neuer, Courtois or De Gea were suddenly made available, very publicly available too. Big clubs would be queuing up to sign them. Hart is made available weeks ago and no one's come in for him? the only rumours out there are/were Everton and they've just come out and said they arnt in for him.

Im not saying he's a bad keeper, im saying if he was as good as ppl make out, wouldnt teams be all over him?
Agreed, he's not a bad keeper, just think even if he were slightly better than Jak Jaks pride in the City shirt should be enough, also he is making worldies himself now like the one touched onto the bar

I'm shocked that some people still believe what the Allams say.

According to OLM, it's already a done deal, the only thing that will stop the deal going through is the FA! Even the HDM are reporting it's the final step!
