Well actually no, after a few weeks of being linked with just about an available striker we sign another defender, and a scummer at that!

Martin Cranie joins Portsmouth, well hes young and one for the furture so like Richard Duffy we will probably never see him play.

Once again and English football team showed the world what we are best at, losing on penalties. Admittedly this time it took 36 attempts before we lost!

As normal just about every striker going is being linked with us, the two most likely at the moment appear to be Yakubu and Kanoute. We also appear to be after another midfielder in Alou Diarra which would seem to indicate either O'Neil or Davis could be off, although it now appears he might want a "bigger" club like Newcastle.
