They'll get one done, either this guy or something else underwhelming just so that then they and the usual apologists can give it a condescending spin of "well you all thought we weren't going to bring in anyone at all so we gave you a much better window than you expected".
Even if he does sign there’ll be the inevitable long wait for his visa. All seems a bit pointless when we need players to come straight in.
Rude. I don't think anyone on this board can be described as an apologist. And your post seems more condescending than most.
Any potential signings will wait till the last minute before joining us, just to make sure no one else requires their services. Expect some never heard of um signings with a hour left on dead line day.
