    It doesn't say we're set to unveil them.

    It just says we're on the verge of signing them!

    Anything could happen!

    I hope they do sign before Saturday though, especially Hammill!

    Thompson will require a work permit

    which for us and the way we do things means he might just be available for the start of next season.

    Read the title - "Tykes set to unveil duo"

    So yes, they are.

    Hope we get them, but Davey's also said that we've got to persuade Hammill because other's are interested and Thompson's club are still in negotiations to set a price :'(.

    No you haven't

    But that's based on the Star story and they're likely to be less pessimistic than us!

    Media outlets whether papers or websites/radio etc are always told to make headlines/stories sound as if they're done as no-one wants to read 'might/possibly/maybe' etc.

    Fair enough.

    The article doesn't.

    The headline is just to grab your attention. The article is where the main information 'lies'...
