Ed’s note – I’ve simply reproduced this thread from the onlinegooner forum to bring it to a wider audience. It’s an interesting read though in the light of yesterday’s lack of events.

This summer, by my count, the media linked us with 105 players, of which only six actually signed.

These were:
Ramsey,
Coquelin,
Nasri,
Bischoff,
Silvestre,
Ozyakup.

Just goes to show, do not always believe what you read in the papers.

Here is the full list.
