Vital Champions League
Pretty much agree, fortunately any loanees from EPL clubs will have been playing and will be fit, there is the obvious issue of integrating them into our squad/team - but, good players (like Garner) can do that.
I don't think we'll make any big money signings, in fact I doubt many Championship sides (excluding those relegated from EPL) will - but, I do believe we are as well placed as most to be able to sign players.
Sadly, I just wonder (worry) whether CH may be forced into bringing Arter, Jenkinson, Bong & Bachirou in from the bomb squad, given the size of our squad?
I think if there were severe doubts about bring players in Arter and Bong would have been back in the squad by now getting some game time.
The players we are after in this Country will be mainly loans, which means we have to wait until the squads are submitted, and the players we want from abroad are subject to the usual haggling.
If I was forced to guess, I think we will get a couple in before the season starts and 4 or 5 more in the last week of the window.
