Shhh 5 July, 2007

Well after a signing there isn’t really any news around, hence the lack of activity on the site recently. I have been doing some working the background though don’t worry; I’m making all the new squad profiles from the squad page at the moment, you can see Eduardo’s below. The only thing really to talk about is Da Silva’s first interview which says the usual stuff someone says about joining a new club. Nothing really that exiting in there.

I said before that this signing might be in addition to someone else, but that doesn’t look like that’s going to be Carlos Tevez. He’s being strongly linked with Manchester United and if they are interested then their bank balance would surely beat off any other clubs sniffing around. It’s quite worrying seeing all Liverpool, United and Chelsea boost their squads ahead of the new season. We have only signed a back up ‘keeper and a striker who is yet to prove himself. It’s quite worrying but I think another signing or two and we should be safely in that top 4.

The new away kit is out today, and if you pop down to the armoury a bit later you can see the famous Chapman bust and get your shirt signed by Theo Walcott.

5 young players have been given professional contracts ahead of the new season: Nacer Barazite the 17-year-old striker, Rui Fonte the strong forward who’s goal tally is looking quite good, Paul Rodgers who got the most appearances last year, Jay Simpson the scorer of Ashburton Grove’s first hattrick and Wojciech Szczesny the 17-year-old ‘keeper.

Right that about all the shit I can come up with today. Back to making the squad profiles. Hopefully there’ll be something more interesting to talk about soon.
