The wife tells me my gun has gone off and she hasn't even hit the starting line nearly all the time. I just tell her to keep patient, it will all work out OK soon!
That's how it looks with your transfer activity at the moment.
The latest report now is that we've confirmed we are interested in Sam Clucas, but no deal is imminent... NOT BLOODY IMMINENT?? Surely at this stage, our transfer negotiations should be way down the line??
Up until now I had felt relatively patient about things, but that report today hasn't sat well with me.
I have no inside knowledge, but something doesn't seem quite right to be honest. We knew that our season would be starting earlier this year, so what the hell are we waiting for?

Permission not to worry about this please. It is yet another thing over which I have no control and the club seems to have survived the 68 years I have been watching them without my worrying unduly -----apart from 9 May 1987 when it wasn't worry ---it was sheer bloody panic!
That bloody market, it keeps moving. Far too rapidly for us it seems.
A week into the transfer window...."Don't worry, still 11 weeks to go".
A month into the transfer window..."Don't worry, still 8 weeks to go."
Two months into the transfer window..."Don't worry, the World Cup hasn't finished yet."
World Cup finishes......."Don't worry, still 25 days to go before the deadline."
August 9, 2018..........."We tried hard but could not quite get our targets over the line, but apart from Ben Mee we did not lose anyone we wanted to keep."
NB: Who will send out the e-mail on August 8 to agents appealing for players (especially CHs who are not already fixed up).

On the plus side, just think of the state of the Dry Powder Room...
