has it all gone quiet for a reason?

[ex_pat_magpie]

we aren't even being linked with many players now?

there's a few reasons this could be....

1. everybody now knows we need to shift a few 1st?
2. we've already been linked to everybody and there's nobody left for the media to guess at?

or, and hopefully it's this...

3. because the real business is done under the radar, and the club is actually making real progress without @rsehole journos interfering to scupper any deals?

hopefully not....
4. because Ashley never really had any intention of supporting Rafa in the 1st place?

I would reckon that number 3 is the closest to reality as we can expect. Of course the club and top officials at the club keep their cards close to their chests while either buying or selling. Leaks coming out make a big difference to the prices both ways.

That's why supposed scoops by reporters and those who wallow in the glory of being "in the know" never know until the rest of us do.

Remember when Shearer came here, how well that was kept under wraps. Will this windows secrets should be a doddle compared to that scoop.

I bloody hope so!

Hopefully you're right Pat.

I think there has to be something in number 1 though. How more players can we realistically be linked with before people start just ignoring the journalists and click bait

Rafa has already said after the Preston game that we need to shift more out,but he also said that bringing more in is the priority and he hoped there would be some movement soon.
