New Signing?

This could be of interest:

I was in the Golden City on a business trip yesterday, which as part of it had a trip to St James' Park organised for the afternoon. To be fair it was the only reason I went in the first place, having not yet seen the fully completed stadium (Can't wait to go back on Saturday and see it full of 50K+ screaming Geordies). As well as the usual trip to see the changing rooms and the tunnel etc. we were shown the press facilities, supposedly the best in the world, including the conference room.

The press conference room had been fully set out with chairs and equipment. Apparently there had been a conference scheduled to introduce a new signing but it got cancelled. Whether this is down to delay or the deal falling through I don't know and that was the only info I was given. Anyone heard anything else?

Also I asked about the stadium expansion and whether there was plans for anything further to be done. East stand is obviously out of the question and it's unlikely that the Gallowgate will be touched for a long time, but the guy did say that they'd done some research and concluded that we really didn't need a stadium bigger than 55,000. With the Stadium of Sh**e due to go up to over 60,000 in the next couple of years, do you think this is a fair statement?

Perhaps this coincides with my Where's Bobby thread. Is he up to some dealings?
