I know our new boys haven't kicked a ball for us yet, but when you look at who we've signed it's clear that Shez has a real astute eye for a signing. The man's a genius, I reckon.

I reckon it's a good signing. Big huge target man, throwing his - ahem - weight around, Hughes or Davies running rings around him, I think we have good options up front and I can see us scoring loads of goals...

I wasn't far wrong with my 4.36pm prediction!

The official site folks must get a great kick out of messing with our heads...

I just picked 4.36PM at random... more out of hope than anything else... bored at hitting refresh button...

My prediction for the time of the announcement (presuming that there will be something to announce) is 4.36PM this evening...

I'm not as jumpy about this signing as the last time they wheeled out the 'major breaking news' teasers... Still, it's doing no harm to my post count...

I think Dublin's signed a new one year contract with Norwich...

Looks like Cardiff have bagged Fowler...

Anyone know if there's any strikers Sunderland want to offload? Shez will know Roy Keane from their days in the Ireland midfield together...

Hmmmm, interesting how there was no "tomorrow could be a big day" teaser posted by NewYorkBoss this time around... That doesn't mean anything either way though I reckon - I'm just speculating to kill time at this stage...

If it's Fowler, I'll eat a Manchester City scarf and put the pictures up on this site.

Does "experienced top level" = "Premiership"???

I'm getting my hopes up a little too high here, but what the hell... I'm optimistic today for some reason. Must have had too much coffee.

Great stuff... after the big long Great Refresh Button Marathon of a few days ago, I had been suffering withdrawl symptoms... I'll enjoy this afternoon as long as they don't string us along overnight...

An "is another signing due" thread on this forum is now enough to get me hitting the refresh button on the official site...

Cheers Greganator! I'm off to the pub to celebrate and after a few beers practice the new chant...

When Allott lines up alongside Kalala we can do two chants in one:

KA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA - RATMAN!

Well, I'm underwhelmed but not surprised. We still need a hell of a lot more in midfield if we're going to have a good run at it next season.

I agree that we shouldn't give him any stick though... He could do a job for us.

It's sad, and very annoying, but true that most players are only out for themselves these days.

The way I always saw it is that if they don't want to play for us and are money motivated then good riddance.

But the problem is that we probably struggle to form a five-a-side team if all the ones who put money before the club were shown the door.

I'm in a gloomy mood at the moment - thank you for that Wellens - but to hell with it, I reckon Sheridan will bag a few more signings soon that will get me cheering again.

It's hook slinging time... The Porter saga has been reeking the place up since January. We'll do fine without him next season.

I think this is a cracking statement from the club, in my opinion. They've been screwed around by Porter and his agent so I won't complain that they've had a swipe back.

We have been rightly stuffed for cash - but at least we know where we stand with Porter and his agent now. Bye Chris... you're going to vanish right of the radar now...

How about to the tune of AMARILO

I picked number three - but you can keep your playing for England thank you very much, I'm Irish (though given the sad state of the Irish side at the moment, can't say I'd be mad about playing for them either)... Let's say I swap playing for England/Ireland for winning a few leagues and cups for Latics. Deal.

I totally agree with the chaps who said in earlier posts that the 'no cash for Porter - no transfer market activity' thing makes no sense cos, as already said, if we were going to keep him surely we would still be signing players.

That said, I hate agents, I'm tired of Portergate and I think the whole thing's unfair on the supporters.

I know I'm not saying anything new here - but I wanted to have my say anyway, so there you go!
