Gourlay: Signings imminent

[Guest justin_3d]

To be fair, Gourlay predicted right when he said we'd sign a manager within 14-days

But yeah, I expect those announcements to be Courtois & Oriol. Courtois hasn't been officially announced as it is.

Pastore and Lukaku is my guess.

Even if not the 2 of them, i just hope he wasn't referring to Courtois and Romeu

+1.

I'm hoping "at least" is the key phrase here. The least being Courtois and Romeu, the possible third being someone of high calibre.

Heskey

Almunia and Fabiansky?

I^'m afraid it is at least one of them, probably Oriol. Even if not, two signings are not enough. We need at least three. Creative midfielder and two wingers. Or, creative midfielder, winger and proper right back.

But this is Chelsea football club! We will buy a striker to fix non-existing midfield problem. We will appoint a new manager, physiotherapist and doctor to fix ageing squad problem.

Only in our club house is made starting from the roof. Only in our club we expect miracles, even without Harry Potter and his magic wand!

agree with our needs and would prefer to see the age profile ...players with experience age 22 - 26 ...we need time for our present young players to develop

Why would Gourlay risk an anti-climax.. it would be an insult to the fans if it turned out to be Courtois & Romeu.

To be honest he is just stating facts, we haven't actually signed Courtois & Romeu yet. But i do know what you mean, i'll be quite p***ed of if it turned out to be them.

But i have heard that A.Madrid have already announced them signing Courtois on loan from Chelsea, so i don't know why Chelsea are not telling us.

Also apparently Chelsea are not going to sign Romeu till after the u20 world cup and that's not over till the 20th of august, so it may not actually be them after all.

De Rosi+Hulk

On the one hand, I can see the "imminent" signings being Courtois and Romeu. However, if the January transfer window last season taught me anything, it's that we can still make a big move in the market (for better or worse) after largely flying under the radar.

Pele + Zidane.

I am coming more and into the agreement that Pastore names has to be there.

Willing to put money on the Bookies if i was in England.

why does Gourlay remind me of a dinosaur?

[Shane 2,275]

About time, I'm excited about the fact he said 'atleast two', I can see us bringing in 5-6 new players before the transfer deadline shuts, Pastore and Lukaku next week, 2 more young players overtime and Hulk on deadline day.
