we cant officially sign anyone on sundays can we? thought the paper work had to faxed off and processed and wont be done till monday. not sure.
I'm sure other clubs have confirmed the signing of certain players on Sunday's in the past, so I guess it is just a case of how close either of the signings we have been linked with are to completion.
I suspect that if we really wanted to push a deal through today, we probably could. However, I don't think we are that desperate to do so at this stage of the transfer window, so I would be surprised if anything happens today.
I get the impression now that the Ben Foster deal may be closer to completion than either club is letting on, because it seems strange that a player was not even available to travel with the squad to a local friendly match due to a throat infection. It is not something that genuinely leaves you house-bound unless it is incredibly bad, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if we were holding talks with Foster yesterday afternoon.
I just hope we don't miss out on him now, as he is clearly our number one target and we certainly appear to be in pole position to sign him.
