Eds in your opinions do you believe we will announce a signing/signings before the world cup. i'm not after any names my bet would of been luke shaw but Ed02 suggested that it could drag on.

Cheers

{Ed002's Note - No transfers will be completed before the world cup. The transfer window opens on July 1. A player can agree to join, but the transfer cannot be processed.}

I though domestic transfers could be done pre july

Ed, is it not possible that both Shaw and Kroos have agreed to join, but it's not yet official? A lot of places saying they are deals agreed in principle. They remind me of the De Gea transfer. It wasn't official until a month later, but we all knew he had agreed to join in principle. Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - There is no fee agreed with Southampton for Shaw, so no.}

Thanks Ed. When these places keep saying it's agreed, do you think they mean the player has agreed, not the club? Or do you think it's a case of them getting ahead of themselves?

{Ed002's Note - That would be tapping up Syd.}

Why would any club sell there players before the world cup, If they have a really good world cup then there value may rise? Ie. Kroos
