You are spot on with a month to go for our first PL fixture of the new season and all we have signed so far is a GK and a young unproven player from Derby. Yesterday run out proved once again we struggle to score against even lowly opposition and whilst I accept it was friendly I would have expected our so called strikers to have had a field day with exception CB who could not score even if they played without a GK. We need to get moving in the transfer market PDQ! Transfer window doesn't close until end of August, there will be plenty of rumours and speculation until then. Yesterday was a run out as you stated, thats all it was, nothing more.

If they don’t announce his signing tomorrow then I think there must be something wrong. Their musicals often take a couple of days to complete so I guess that might be a factor. With speculation about Flynn Downes and now Morgan Gibbs-White, both midfield players not to mention Aribo, you do have to wonder. That's pretty good going, although it's said that Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote 'Your Song' in just a few minutes.

This comment gets repeated every July, and of course you are right. But for once wouldn't it be good to get all the changes done well before the next season begins, so that the reconfigured squad can have a chance to play together? Rather than scrabbling around in the last few days and sometimes hours of August.

The delay could also be PR announcement spacing to keep the focus on the kit and player rather than announcing all at the same time and diverting attention. So, looking to announce the player wearing the new home kit may well be behind the delay. New goal keeper kit announced with Sam Johnston, new away kit announced with Malcolm Ebiowei. These announcement's have been spaced about 2 days apart. The PR team would not want these all done at the same time. Exactly what was going through my head too.

We don't want to announce all these signings at the same time. And yes Decoure will be unveiled in the new home kit mi tinks.

Why don’t we? This PR stuff is ridiculous and does nothing for the fans. Does it make more money or Stoke SP ego? You decide

Could be that he has played international games and allowed extra time to report for training....Zaha et al?

With nothing announced I doubt he has actually a confirmed signing. Don't get me wrong - everything points to a done deal but guessing it's taking a while to get the admin sorted.

Is there any truth that Leeds are trying to hijack the deal? Having just sold Phillips they are in a position to offer Lens more money plus we haven't heard anything about the medical at all. Have we decided to switch our attention to Gibbs-White instead No
