Where the fu¢k is Nabbout 2.0?
I wonder if foti68 has got any insider tips for us? :gent:
Has it been 4-5 days since the announcement of the impending announcement? My bet it will be more likely 6-8Quote:

Never get this mania about "new signings". It happens when it happens and no point announcing until all paperwork is done and the guy is here. Many a deal falls over at the 11th hour.
Trust in Griff.
Yeah but how will we be able to complain about him before he gets here if we don't know who it is?Quote:

so how good can he really be?
another dud signing from Middleby.
Kosta P isnt ALeague level. Time to let him go reguardless of how Dimi will feel
Said on NBN tonight two signings to be announced in the next day or two. Any ideas? Has Austin still been trialing with the team?
Will not be happy if its AustinQuote:

Judging by the insipid way we played last night Austin would look like a world beater in our squadQuote:

The world game confirms Austin will be signed. Either injury replacement or permanent, given its the jets I would more likely expect it to be permanent we can't get anyone better.!!!
Meanwhile victory sign Ola Toivonen Swedish striker from the recent world cup squad within the cap. Victory are going back to back!!! , no budgets at victory and FC
Welcome Mitch 'Nabbout 2.0' Austin.
Money-tree haven't signed Toivonen yet. The rumour mill said they were looking at him. Swansea and PSV Eindhoven are also rumoured to be looking at him.Quote:

Toulouse has confirmed hes off to VictoryQuote:

Like all signing rumours it could be 99% BS and 1% truth or the other way around.
No Toulouse announced via Twitter that he his departing to Australia and Melbourne Victory.Quote:

I know it shouldn't but perhaps the progress on new signings goes some way to explaining the low membership numbers at present. I would have thought making the GF last season would have had many super keen and signed up.
I wonder if it would of been much different if we were one of the 2 definitely in the acl this season rather than having to go through a qualifierQuote:

I'm not willing to shit on our recruitment till we get to see who the international we sign is, because for all we know the majority of the rest of the cap space we have may have gone towards getting their signature. I'm also happy to see what we can do with Austin, I'd imagine it's only gonna be a 1 year contract in case he does **** it up
I dont want the cash going willy nilly either, hence my "not just at randoms" comment. I would say Martin might still be happy about going through the knockout phase pre acl. it will give him potentially more exposure as we will play more games...but we must win and achieve a start in the acl if this were to be true. Hence lets do the due diligence on players and open up the wallet.
Calm down sheeple.
It's deadline day in Europe today, tomorrow is when our market opens to get a bargain.
Agreed.Quote:

I may know of a striker we could use... still hasnt signed.. but it would be a injury gamble...
anyone got a direkt line?
2 visa spots. Appears we may just use 1 of themQuote:
