Day 129

The deadlines for loan transfers and free transfers are in a week. There'll be no opportunities whatsoever to bring outside players into the team after that, until the transfer window opens again in January. If we need any players to shore up the ranks for the last two months of the year, I need to act quickly.

Left wing back Miro finished his trial and left the club today, clearly disappointed that his injury got in the way of his push for a contract. Of course, with Olembé back at the club and happy to stay, Miro wouldn't have stood much of a chance, anyway. The Mozambican was always seen as a potential replacement for Olembé, rather than a compliment or backup to his talents.

Speaking of Olembé, the Cameroonian will be making his first start in two months this weekend...hopefully. There's still a question mark over his fitness, but if he gets his condition up above 90% I'll put him in.
