is there any danger of us actually signing someone? Saturday is going to be tortuous based on recent performances, if not.
The club are trying their hardest to bring players in-They are not purposely submitting silly bids that they know will be rejected. If the selling club refuse, what are we supposed to do? Double our offer because it's absolutely essential that we get a player in for January.
As it happens, we will end up playing only 3 games in January (league) & that's counting the game on the 2nd. We really have time now as we only have Saturdays game to worry about.
We have this every year-Constant bleating about lack of activity in January. It is traditionally hard to sign players in this window, why should it be any diferent this year? I saw Sam Allerdyce yesterday stating that Crystal Palace had up to 8 offers in for players yet only one had signed. Both clubs and players are juggling still, waiting to see who bids. A plan A for us could be someone elses plan B and until that someone else decide what they are doing, it is unlikely that the player in question will join us. In a ficticious scenario, both ourselves and Palace could be in for Brady at Norwich. Brady will be keen to go to the PL and until the Palace interest dies, or they look elsewhere, he won't consider our offer.
We are going to get players in-Of that there is no doubt. We're not the only club who haven't set the world alight so far-Unless you want the type of player that nobody else wants, you have to be patient. It is definately not as simple as putting an offer in and buying a player.
