As anyone that knows my reputation will know, I'm not one for big statements! As I believe in even the best informed situations things can go wrong (ala POTL and various others: Diarra DONE). However, after a lengthy discussion with certain people, it does seem to be the case that we could WELL sign a striker tomorrow. One that we'd all want as well.

All will be clear by this time tomorrow... I hate to be this vague but its really not worth the risk of divulging names or situations, but I think we could be in a good mood tomorrow night. We shall see. At the very least, nobody that we don't want to leave will leave (LM this means you :wink: ) so we can't have too many complaints!

I'm excited about Cahill, but if he signs where does that our captain? Kaboom and Cahill would be first choice surely.

In reality AKQ there are about 3 players currently 'done' but that doesnt mean we will sign them.
It sounds wrong but player agreeing personal tems doesnt mean done.
Clubs agreeing fee doesnt mean done
Its not done till they physically sign but normally at this late stage you agree a deal in principle that could mean done!
I dont blame any ITK for saying it as Ade was done 3 weeks before we announced it and Parker was done last Friday, you just get loads of hitches in football deals.

Rossi cavani Suarez Ashley Young (twice) Stewart Downing were all 'done' in principle too while we are at it ! None of them signed!

It seems to happen in every single one of our deals :sad:

What hold-ups were for Ade and Parker, if you are aware of any? Not questioning your info, just interested.

And that's how she found out there was no such thing as Santa :cry:

It was indeed...and then she got attacked by green monsters, so I think the message is clear. Don't feed Frazier Campbell after midnight (though isn't it always after midnight :think:)

Well I prefer to think Van Der Vaart :grin:

True, but what are the chances of lighting striking twice? And anyway, as happy as I was with VDV, I was still shocked that we hadn't signed a striker.

At least we have Adebayor this time.

To be honest if someone had told me before the transfer window opened that we would be strengthening the spine of our team with Cahill,Parker and Adebayor and selling OHara,Keane,Palacious,Hutton,Gio,Bassong and Bently while keeping all our main players including Kranky I would have been delighted.
With one day to go it just needs Parker and Cahill fianlized and a coule of outgoings and this will be the case.
Its the rumours of Kaka,Rossi,Hulk etc that get people dissappointed but honestly we are so close to a great transfer window.
