Have so few of you really not considered that perhaps they are trying to make permanent signings but their efforts just haven't come to fruition yet? That is a possibility and by no means a far fetched one. It does happen.
I'm not sure how, as a fan of logic, you make that statement as a response to the ones above. I'm equally sure we're in the process of making some signings. In the interest of managing expectations though, I'm pointing out that, given the available evidence, these might not be as many or as stellar as some people are hoping for.
Not that that'll make any difference to their expectations.
