    8 weeks and counting

    fixtures out in two days time
    8 weeks and a few days till season kicks off

    no one in no one out

    rafa likes to usually get things done early

    i would have thought he would have had a few lined up

    he knows who he wants out

    come on rafa

    We've already got Dubravka in, so that is one.

    Expected that Sels and Mbemba will be sold by end of week as well allegedly.

    I'm sure he does have targets but since we're told he's not even been told what his transfer budget is, it might be a bit hard for him.

    I'm sure we'll see signings 2 and 3 come in as we sell players etc.

    Howay man, apart from Man U who have spent almost 70m on 2 players who else has bought more than 1? We are no different to anyone else. Why haven’t Fulham bought Mitro yet? Would think they’d be sh1tting it in case he scores 2/3 in the WC and the prices goes up a few million more eh?

    Purchases are always slow prior to a tournamenT.

    He might have been told to sell first like previously?

    Nowt here as always. Owt to have a go at Rafa.

    not having a go merely pointing out he usually does early buisness

    i appreciate people have to go
    but surely not all the kitty will be raised from sales

    and also i wouldnt think many of our targets are going to the world cup

    I didn’t realise Rafa was a clairvoyant as well as a great manager.

    He must be able to read Ashley’s mind to know what the expected transfer kitty is going to be.

    So let us into the secret. How much has Ashley released for Rafa to spend.

    I don´t think we´ll be selling Mitro till the WC is over and he is a key piece in our transfer window jigsaw. I´m not expecting early incomings in this window.

    Wasn't it stated that Ashley wouldn't reveal the amount until Rafa signed a new contract and Rafa would only sign a new contract when he was told where he stood as far as transfer funds.

    The ball seems to be in Fatman's court.
