I'm starting to envy clubs such as Barcelona, Villareal and Tottenham who moved early in the market. Doesn't it just seem more handy to get the business done before July, so all the focus goes into pre-season and getting the squad together. Plus, less competition from other suitors. With us only after one player, you wouldn't think we'd have had much trouble getting it wrapped up. Our first fixture is tomorrow, and the South Africa tour's first fixture is on the 19th, in eight days. So any new signing will probably be in a bit late, unless [insert optimism]
