Tuesday lunchtime. A scant five days until Bury kicks off. The two signings that we were hearing about (in 48 - 72 hours) have magically not materialised. There is a rumour about a keeper from Carlisle, which sort of suggests the other keepers we were linked to have decided reserve team football would be more enjoyable tan life at the Valley this season.
It would be nice to know if the silence is down to Katrien's useless negotiating skills (where on her CV did it tell Roland she would be usefull at this?). the generally toxic nature of the Valley and it's Circus freak-show owner, or simply that we are being constantly being outbid by rival clubs. There is even the prospect that we have no cash available as we are still paying wages for all the players loaned to other clubs, which is about as nutty as anything we have been served in the lsat few years.However, my own view is that we are going into this season in an even worse state than the pessimists expected.
Ons small fact is that this thread now has more pages than the club has managed transfers, even allowing that they have narrowed the gap by giving so many players away.
