I'm posting this out of concern.
It has been clear in the opening games of the season, that we still need to strengthen our squad.
For the last two weeks, all transfer talk has been centered around whether Michael Owen will return. All the time, Rafa has responded by saying we need a new center half and a right midfielder.
Well, with only 3 days to go until transfer deadline, we appear to be no more closer to signing anyone for those positions. We have been loosely connected with right wingers Solano and Stelios. The latter has since signed a new contract. And, we haven't been linked to a new defender since the Milito deal feel through (with the exception of Andrade).
I am now worried that with all the MO nonsense, we have lost sight on our real aims. We have only 3 days to make an offer on possibly 3 different players, have them accepted, hammer out personal details, and have them pass medicals. I can't see that happening. Unless Rick Parry can split himself into three.
Another concern, is that we only have 3 days left to get rid of Salif Diao. I thought he'd left, but apparently, the tw@t played for the reserves last week.
