Who are the three then!?

[contrast]

Harry has said twice in two days that he is hoping to bring in THREE new faces before the season kick off against Manchester City. He has also said that huge money won't be spent, and he knows exactly who the three players are.

Some facts about the three that he has openly noted:

- One is a loan deal. There is no secret that in the last week or so that Levy has been working to bring in Pletikosa.

- One is a free-transfer. When asked about how much money there is to spend, Harry said that we don't need to spend stupid amounts to improve our squad, "one of the lads I'm hoping to bring in is on a free transfer . . . "

- One is hopefully the "special" player we have been craving since the final whistle went at Eastlands. Luis Fabiano has been ruled out by Harry. Luis Suarez claims there is an offer from Tottenham and Manchester United that he is considering.

Who are these lads then? I think the only one of the three we can be sure of is Pletikosa.

when was the free one stated? because that may have been Joe Cole or Raul but obviously both are no goes now!!!

Earlier today on SSN.

[edmonds44]

o right... I don't know who else is up for a free transfer apart from silverstre but get lost bringing him to the lane

[contrast]

He said that Raul wasn't in our financial capabilities, so isn't Raul.

Thats why I'm asking, I'm sure there is someone with a list of higher profile free transfers this summer.

obviously thats dated the 9th of june but its the full list of free's

[SpursFan]

Wouldn't want any of them frees except from ballack and j.cole but they have signed for other clubs already of course.

[edmonds44]

it says on there about Gallas... i really hope that isn't true

[Luke0405]

Would like them to come in sooner rather than later though, no just because i'm impatient but because a new striker should have at least a couple of weeks to gel with the team, have some bonding time before stepping off the plane from wherever he comes from straight into a big game not knowing any names or personalities.

You sure he said one is a free?...

[contrast]

Yup. Positive.

[Gomesnum1fan]

There isnt a good enough player who is available on a free that we can sign imo not unless Harry knows some wonderkid who is.So we are only going to sign one player than really and thats this so call special player who should be a striker cause the GK wont get a game and is only on loan while the free will prob not be good enough.

[contrast]

Just occured to me that I think the South African centre back we have taken on trail could be free . . . .

[edmonds44]

yeah that could be the one... has he arrived yet?

[Tottenham-ManU]

harry hint alot abt fabiANO DO U THINK HES THE STRIKER WE NEED ?
