If I were the club I'd be tempted to leave some signings to the end, so as not to draw attention to ourselves, or have other clubs go on a spending spree to match

So it would seem like we missed out on the "gem" of a signing?

No idea, been told we are close but obviously Gus will know more than my friend.

You honestly think we can manipulate our transfer dealings in that way?

Maybe not. We may well be in for 3 or 4 more players. The first 2 including the GEM may be sorted, but we may be struggling for the rest.

'Gem' not mentioned, but Vicente was late on the scene last season, so maybe he is keeping the 'gem' under the radar.

The Naylor quote is the one he tweeted on his return on Monday evening and has only just made the newspaper - clutching at straws (aren't we all?) but it is old news by a couple of days and hopefully things change

Oooooo, that's me in with a shout then. Not sure I can claim gem status, but see what I can do. Well that's what my source said.

Was Wayne Bridge not the "gem" then?

Nope, because he popped up and we signed him in 2 days, whereas at least 3 days before that, Gus was talking of a 'gem'. Also Darren Balkham and people having been talking about amazing news this week so we'll see, might have stalled.
I would be happy to get him in for a season, as it would suggest we're looking to start with 2 wingers.
Oh no - does that mean we're getting Bellamy?
This is what Bozza posted last week. His sources said there was the possibility a gem of a signing coming up, and that was after Kuszczak and Bridge, and wasn't going to refer to Vicente coming home.Gem of a signing compared to Bruno Saltor, Tomasz Kuszczak and Wayne Bridge
It does look like we may have failed to get what Gus was after there (if Bozza's sources were right in the first place), so back to the drawing board.
