Probably just the simplest way to get the paperwork done.

Besides you wouldn't want to hold people here against their will. ...

... Newcastle have done that before, with foreign players, and they've virtually gone on strike.

Xisco anyone <laugh>

Exactly. Good players like this with an option to buy don’t just fall in a teams lap. Why not boast I say! I regret answering him now as he doesn’t even look like much of a fan now I’ve looked at his profile :biggrin:

many are saying that this window ranks as one of the best the club have had...now, taking into consideration the many factors previous to this window, at least ten years of being ran by idiots (apologies to Mr Short who at least tried but failed with his staff choices) at least 6 years of severe cost cutting, remember the staff being sacked and 'bain's project', the fact that the new regime have had very little time to change things around but have accomplished so much, the 'keeping the cards close to the chest' approach, the quality that has been brought in despite a limited budget/wage restrictions and the improvements that have been made/started right across the board and i have to say this window is going to take some topping so for the sheer amount of work that has gone into it i reckon this is the best ever.

Well done to everyone involved at SAFC. Really held their nerve and stuck to their plan despite outside pressures.

Some ridiculous business done in this league this preseason though. There’s about 6 teams that on paper would walk to automatic promotion any other year. Going to be seriously tough to go up but the foundations are in place for the future regardless.

Nothing short of a miracle what kld (and all staff) has managed to achieve in a short space of time.

From pathetic to professional in 6 months, which is ****ing fast for a turn around.

Considering that we had no recruitment team a short while ago, I thought we'd get a few decent players in, mostly UK market and obvious choices, ready for a big build once the recruitment got bedded in . Well they have actually hit the ground well and truly running and exceeded my expectations. Players from all over, professional deals (loans with option to buy if promoted), no press leaks until deals were pretty much complete.....
Bloody incredible.

Brilliant news that we got shot of Girgg. Went to bed before the end of the window and missed that one. Happy days. A bit of time to get these lads settled and familiar with the surroundings before our next game as well.

Did you get any further info relating to the last minute incoming player you mentioned last night? Not that it makes any difference now, and I think some fantastic business has been done, but just curious as to what area of the pitch they were looking at.
Regarding the players we have brought in, I have to say I don't think I had heard of any of them, but the people who matter obviously do when you look at the type of player they have identified.
We now have the makings of a very decent league 1 team with players who just might be good enough to make the step up when it happens reducing the need for wholesale changes year on year.

Brilliant window. Which has been massively helped by the fact that two of our “weaker” players that people wanted out in O’Brien and Flanagan, have both had excellent starts. Which shouldn’t be surprising seeing the quality of the team around them has risen.

I think we are fine at full back but could maybe do with one more, especially at left back.

Hume is nearly fit, has limited options, is an academy product and is far from poor at this level. He would make a great deputy to Cirkin,

Personally I expect Hume to be confirmed in the next week (based on nothing but hunch)
