Wiggle 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Its too late to open talks with any player now as the player would need to get here for a medical etc. unless hes a binner and he can just run here. So unless were already in top secret talks with a top secret player then we will not get anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Web Team - Vince 0 Posted January 31, 2008 They could have already had a medical and it would just be down to agreeing terms. However, I don''t think there is anyone else on the way today, especially with Ched''s loan being extended.Glenn''s mission this season is to avoid relegation which, if things continue how they are, will be achieved. He now has a luxury of trying out some new players - maybe with the possibility of some of them becoming permanent deals or season-long loans from the summer - without the added pressure of focusing on points to achieve a play-offs place (although I wouldn''t rule it out from happening).

If he can do that then anything is possible!!Id guess he has agreed terms and medical is already underway, and BBC were slightly inaccurate. Be amazing feat to travel the 300 (?) miles from Pompey to Manc AND agree personal terms and complete medical in 2.5hours!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny 5 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Players can have their medical done elsewhere and have the results faxed to the club. That is what happened with Earnshaw. A lot of players have their medicals at their existing club, on deadline day that is. Having said that I do think we are done for the day, although might have expected a statement from the club saying so........I''m pretty happy with the players we have got in, a striker would of been great. But it still isn''t worth getting substanded players in for the sake of it, we already have that in the likes of Martin. If we have an injury crisis we will just have to bring in the youth players. Could be good for the likes of Bally and co.I''ll keep one eye of SSN though, just in case, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,927 Posted January 31, 2008 Ah i didn''t know he could sign pre-contracts.....Any reason why we couldn''t do this then?I''d still have thought the flight, transport to sports facility and medical would take longer than 2.5hours? Definitely will if he has to wait at the baggage carousel, that always takes ages!! :)Anyway, im not giving up hope just yet..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
