I am shocked and appalled that there is no word on a signing of our final import. To at least advise us that we have a player signed, ready to go and are just waiting on visa clearance would be something.
No wonder there are still great seats available this weekend, already facing two top teams and being three imports down and a top Brit is not encouraging.... With the lack of goals this season I can't see us getting much out of this weekend and feel HUGELY frustrated, especially when you see what a storming start that lot up the road have had so far......
Feel free to flame me but I really feel the need to vent my frustrations....

I think its a no win situation.
We know we have a verbal agreement with a player and were waiting on all of the paperwork that follows.
If the club announce the player and then we have another long delay, people wont be happy and we reveal to rivals that the deal isnt 100% complete. On the flip side the club maintain silence like now and hopefully we all get a nice suprise when the new guy appears one day.
I guess its not impossible that agreement could have fallen through though.

I might be nit-picking here but that article says "We had a verbal agreement in place". Had. Doesn't sound very promising to me.
Anyway a verbal agreement isn't worth much really is it when even the written contracts have a two week get out clause on both sides.

I thought we were two imports short? 2 out injured, but we started the season 1 short anyway. Guess that's what people are alluding too.

Yeah we've got 12 with Wieds. New guy would be full set but Wieds may then be released and we're 1 short again.

I guess its not impossible that agreement could have fallen through though. Might be no win for the club but it's all about winning as a team so that we are not trying to play catch up for the next four months. Verbal agreements on players when we are just about to get into October seems madness unless it's one hell of a player. By the way, the rumor is that it's Francis.

Would Francis be able to reignite that spark of seasons gone by, I'd like to think he could.

I doubt it will be Francis, judging by the fact that we've got Schultz Kolnik Janssen and betteridge who arrival natural RW, could be wrong though
