No inside info but I predict a signing

[Yorkshire Blue]

I reckon we're going to sign someone this afternoon. No idea who, although Fagan, Layne and Mad Max could all be likely candidates. It may spill over to Saturday or Monday but today is the day another jigsaw piece falls into place.

I'm also calling that a further piece falls into place Thursday or Friday.

 

[Jam_Man]

You are Agent Jim and I claim my £5.

I'm basing everything on Beefy's theory and Fagan will sign today.

I just bumped into Ricky Wilson of the Kaiser Chiefs , but all he predicted was a riot.........................

Fagan and Mad Max to sign today I predict

I was talking to an agent this morning that I do some work with and he said you have little chance of getting a decent prem or championship loan until the squad numbers are announced. Once players realise they don't have a quad number they will consider a loan they wouldn't have done before.

I predict there will be some additions to the squad in the next week and many fans will be refilled with positivity and begin to spout about us going on to win the league with 'the best team on paper in lg 2'. I further predict we will begin the season light on defensive cover and still lacking sufficient firepower.

This implies that in all cases the process for a player finding this out is the announcement of the squad numbers by their club to the wider world. I find this a little difficult to believe. I can't imagine, for example, that some managers wouldn't have this discussion with their player ahead of the announcement.

Didn't brown say that theres going to be another behind closed doors game today? Maybe not the day for deals to be completed. But who knows.

 

[craigpat89]

Think I read somewhere that today was a Southend v Southend xi game behind closed doors

 

[superblue24]

I was just thinking the same. I think with the turn of the month coupled with the imminent start to the season, we're likely to see more activity on bringing in players. Fagan almost certainly going to sign in my opinion.

You can get 5/1 on ladbrokes for a Southend win.

And how much for the X1

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

What marvellous powers of seeing into the future we all have.

I predict that it will be a long hard season as this is a difficult league to get out of. :unsure:

But we have as much chance as any other team (actually more chance perhaps as we have more resources than many other clubs) and therefore I await 3:00 p.m. on Saturday 9th with anticipation and a slight drool of saliva from the corner of my mouth.

The position may be quite different come 3:15 p.m. though ........... :whistling:

Money back if it a draw?

Not if we lose every game it isn't :winking:

Then at least we'll have a name for the new stadium...The Thunderdome.

I don't know what the Dickens is the delay in signing Fagan but there may be a (Oliver) Twist in the story yet .....:facepalm:

Player get injured ahead of you, some train well in pre-season some don't, outside transfer targets don't materialise, some players get moves, dynamics of a squad changes. Im sure some young lads are told at the start you are going out on loan but for a lot of players it depends how pre-season goes for them and the clubs.

Believe it or not it what a top agent with about 40 prem / champ players told me today.

I agree. My point is that it's the part in bold above that's important and not necessarily the announcement by the club of squad numbers.
