Seeing as it's now unacceptable to put anything but 100% guaranteed facts on here, I'll try to add a little information!
I'm was sure that we would do business for a right back this week, but with Friday being a travelling day, it shortens the training week a little and a deal may push into early next week. I would put a big chuck on it being Stephen O'Donnell on a permanent deal. However, there is also an option of a young full back on loan but the worry is the number of loanees.
Striker options are very difficult to nail down as nearly everyone of interest is being followed by several clubs. There has been one name I've heard from a PL academy that would be a good signing, but at least one Championship is also interested and I'd rate it as optimistic at best. It would be a step up from Ageyi but very similar style of player. However, the thinking is now to find an established league 1 ready striker if possible. I would like to see Jerry Yates, but Brett Pitman has been mentioned in recent days (as always). I have no idea who yet, but sure that this will go to the wire.
The third deal that I'm sure will happen will be a reserve left back/utility type player. Again, no information but this is unlikely to be a headline signing.
Hope that's of some interest, sorry if it's not!!
Aren’t you just telling us stuff we already know ? If you do genuinely have any idea I’d be impressed if you put forward a new name. I’ve seen you say before that you can’t mention names (really not sure why as I assume your christian or surname is not Scotchegg !) yet here you are saying O’Donnell - surprise surprise a name we ALL know is on our radar.
