So it's all on hold

[severnside gull]

according to Naylor on Twitter this evening, Gus is saying that we are not as close to our next two signings as we were to Kuszczak and Bruno so it looks like all the speculation was wrong and we are on the back foot again.

Nothing is straightforward at this club and who knows whether we had targets but they are gone or we had targets but they're not talking to us?

Looks like it won't be this week though and if it isn't soon then will we be off to Portugal and setting ourselves up for the season with the players we've got.?

So what of this "spectacular" signing? If Naylor is right and Gus isn't just bullshitting to cover his tracks, what happened and where is that signing now?

Someone might sign, someone might not. I don't know anything.

 

[Max Paper]

Move onto the next target? I assume we hadn't put all our eggs in one basket etc

 

[misterspatch]

I wouldn't get too uptight yet, as Gus said with Wayne Bridge, everything happened in 2 days, so we could have 3 more signings by the end of the week even though nothing is oblivious now.

Going to Spain this year aren't we or have I got it wrong.

Smoke and Mirrors!!

medium-term imminence.

medium-term imminence.

I like that - I think for Albion purposes there should be different degrees of imminence!

Andy Naylor is not on the ball when it comes to transfers now is he?

 

[Perkino]

Most transfer windows Gus talks about a big signing but we rarely get one. I'm sure we are in contact with bigger and better players than last summer, no doubt we shall sign some of our targets and others we will miss out on. If we sign two more of equal or greater quality than the other summer signings we have already made I will be very happy

Are Leeds trying to squeeze a bit more money out of McCormack's transfer value ? Greedy bastards.

You are right - the lads will be staying in Spain............... but only just!
Jerez de la Frontera is on the Spain/Portugal border

Our 2 games are supposed to be "Within an hour travel from Gibralter" so I am guessing it might be one in Portugal and one in Spain..... maybe Malaga? Still not announced anyway

Sure?

 

[BensGrandad]

Would be ironic if 1 game was against Elche FC

 

[misterspatch]

Sure?

obvious, jeeesus.

A couple of local games for gibseagull

Eh? So you don't think we got a big signing last summer (Vicente, CMS) and you don't think we've got one this summer? You're difficult to please.

 

[severnside gull]

I'm struggling a little that sources seemingly very close to the club were talking about a spectacular signing going in to the weekend but it seems to have just vapourised? Maybe it's right that they are winding up Naylor - everything does seem to get more closed and complicated when he is around. Maybe he should have stayed on holiday?

That sounds pretty handy-harry for me then!!
