Window is about to 'slam shut'
Are we going up this year or not?

Not a question specific to NCFC , but might impact some of their rivals. As usual, like Christmas Day coming as a surprise to some people on December 25th every year, football clubs are running around like headless chickens in the last two days of the transfer window trying to get deals done. They are signing players I have never heard of, from clubs I have never heard of (probably not) from leagues in countries I might have heard of. My question is how can they be sure of getting work permits at short notice for unknown foreign players without an outstanding career or reputation, at least so far?

Not really sure what to make of this, the 7m figure smells a bit off. I have been reading that Boro also interested, so that figure could just be his agent setting up a bidding war. The Preston fans talk highly of him, and Everton are in financial doo doo, so who knows...

I read that we're definitely in for him but the quoted fee isn't accurate.

We've learnt that you can't believe what Wagner says to the media.
A few times he's said that we're not bringing players in shortly before a new player arrives.

Number 9 - as previously mentioned/discussed, the local media swallow whole anything that comes out of CR and the concept of asking difficult questions or pointing out the differences between what they have been told and have printed and what has actually happened appears to be beyond them.

Number 9 - The other questions that this raises are a) how much input or influence Wagner is actually having on recruitment? or b) How much he is being told about what is going on and the players he is going to get?
