Good points and I think you may well be right about somebody arriving under the radar like Wickham. However depending on the deal somebody might let the cat out of the bag. In the long run it doesn't really matter as long as they arrive and like another poster I have confidence we will get 2 decentish strikers/attacking midfielder. What we do know and must be acknowledged is that we have done some great business early on with Mandanda, Townsend and Tomkins on board. Looking at the teams we will be realistically competing against think we are in good shape.

Spot on provided we do sign a coiple of decent strikers. If we somehow dont, then I suspect we will,have a second half of last season in the first half of this. But in SP/AP I trust, but do get on with it please for the sake of us poor punters!
