How reliable would you say your source is? and in what sort of capacity?    Report

Never mind the can, until they're seen in Asda I won't believe it.   If, as the Manager suggests, he is trying to attract Premiership quality players I think you'd better keep an eye on M&S and Waitrose as well. You could be looking in the wrong place - or not as the case may be!    Report

The last time we signed four players at the same time I think they included Derveld, Der Waard and Dalglish, let's hope these ones are of a higher standard.    Report

How reliable would you say your source is? and in what sort of capacity? The guys been right before. Its a good point that somehow we have these four players signed without anyone knowing. But then how many times in recent years have we signed players out of the blue? And been linked to players that we probably had no intention of every going near?    Report

Judging by the lack of any media coverage on these players, the question is why have their respective agents have not gone public in a bid to get better deals for their players and therefore a larger slice for themselves. Think about it, when is the last time that a player was not bandied around from gossip column to forum to back page, especially when we are concerned. We read about our supposed interest in a player, then suddenly everyone else is interested too and we lose out!   So if Johnho is right who are these mysterious four players, players without nefarious agents, players from abroad or players no one has heard of?   Is there another answer?    Report

If hes wrong and on a wind up he's going to look really dumb and we can just ignore him, but if he's right theres going to be alot of people with egg on their faces. Give him a break and wait and see what happens. Kick it Off...    Report

By looking at the rumours from the last week im going to guess the four players are Martin Taylor, Ryan Bertrand, Matthew Etherington and Maceo Rigters. I also think we will bid for Cork and Tyson.    Report

Umm... did you miss the posts about how people have been looking in cans and asda such like, the 'vicious' irony of you like? though that word may be a little strong. Maybe you've interpreted it differently to me, most people are taking it seriously but a few aren't Kick it Off...    Report

I'm sure its not this bad but it sounds like Glenn is still looking at a list, surely we should be getting in there before other clubs do, I feel that speed is our only friend here because we certainly cannot compete financially, geographically or ambition wise, as has been proven in recent times.    Report

'“We have just signed one, haven't we?” he said, referring to Fotheringham. “He had an excellent season and he improved a lot during it. He is very reliable, has great leadership qualities and is a great person to have around." Wish they would'nt try and persuade us that deals such as this are 'new' signings.  I understand technically they are but please. The Kid's are o.k, at the Horse & Dray.    Report
