I'm hoping he surprises us all in the next few weeks .

I hope he suprises us before thursday lunch so they can play in the CL!!!!

Have players got to be signed before Thursday to play in ALL stages of the CL or is it so they can be eligible for our first tie ? I thought if they were signed before the end of August they could play in the following stages . yes ? no ?

I was under the impression ( I may be wrong ) that if there registered before Thursday 12 noon that they can play, after that they have to wait until the knock out stage.

Oh Sh*t

So a new player coming in after thursday misses the group games. ?

I'm trying to be supportive to Rafa, I could moan but I won't. Just keep fingers crossed that the existing squad rise to the challenge.

Thanks Ckay .That's a relief, I expect us to get thru the qualifier as we stand but still hoping Rafa can bring in some more quality before the group stages.

Do we play in only 1 qualifier or more games? Teams like Celtic and Rangers uned to have to play in 2 quals.

by **ckay** » Wed Aug 04, 2004 10:20 am

just the one over two legs.

and Gerrard insists he still want a couple of new signings (which we know it would't be easy for the gaffer to resist).

Don't know if we still have much transfer kitty in the absence of more sales of Houllier's remaining planks, in the absence of new investor money.
