I think Evandro has been brought in for some assurance on the ball in the final third more than anything.

That would make sense. For all people go on about specific tactics being the cause of our defeats, we don't half waste a lot of good opportunities in the final third and that has to be a big reason why we struggle.

Silva certainly seems to think there more business to be done...

"We try to find solutions for the side and our backline and if you pay attention, our squad is playing just one system at the moment," said Silva.

"We don't have the wingers in our squad, the real wingers, natural wingers, we don't have them but we are trying to put this type of player into our squad. We need a right-back also, but we will see what is possible.

"Bringing in players is important because it is impossible at this level to be training with 13 or 14 players. It is not normal, in this level it is impossible, we need to add quality players to our dressing room.

"This is the normal football, we need to put quality in to improve our situation, but I am sure we will be better in the future. I am happy because we sign two players and next week maybe we have more news."

We've had a real lack of wingers for the last few years. I'd agree with him that we need a winger or two and a right back. Everywhere else we has some cover.

I was sure we were told, as a fact, there'd be no more than a couple of new faces.

Can you actually believe anything good or bad that comes out of Ehab's mouth Happy? Could it be that Silva has made it clear he is not going to be treated like Bruce (towards the end) or latterly Phelen were. I suspect, unless the hand of a 'imminent takeover' is beginning to handle the tiller and thus calling the shots, that Silva has indeed made it very clear that if he needs a couple of more signings - loans or otherwise - that this will have to happen.
 
Do you notice (mentioned before) West Ham and Palaces offers for players are in the main directed at bottom 4 clubs... Maybe its because thats who they think they can afford, or maybe more menacingly to upset the cart. Even if we had no intention we could tell Sky we were interested in 'whoever' from a rival.. but our people aren't that savvy obviously.

Has the fee for Evandro been mentioned anywhere? Just wondering what we've paid for him and don't recall seeing it mentioned...
