Is it realistic to expect us to sign 3 or 4 players in the space of 2 weeks?

Theres only 2 weeks and 1 day left in the transfer window, and there really isn't much concrete links apart from Danny Drinkwater.

Time to hit the panic button?

 
I think we will get 2-3 players. We have to absolutely. No other way.

 
It's very possible to sign 3 players in 2 weeks. 

What the quality of those players will be is an entirely different question. 

We signed Alonso and Luiz late in the day last year but the year before that, it was Hector and Didgeridoo. 

 
Ake, Matic, Chalobah.....

I don't think any of these are necessarily bad sales. But it's concerning that we've let them go without sourcing replacements.

I've got a feeling that RB Leipzig player Liverpool were interested in (Keita i think) is on our radar and that PSG nutter is a likely signing assuming he can get past his legal problems.

The thing is, we have one of the biggest, most extensive scouting networks in the world. We should be able to find some good players if we put our minds to it

 
We've no doubt got an agreement in place with Sky that our significant singings will not take place until 23.50 on the 31st August. Massive viewing for Sky Sports on deadline day with huge advertising revenue and there's nothing worse for them than zero activity!

 
Even if we do conclude a number of signings in the next couple of weeks these players have still missed an entire pre-season and the first few games of the season the us. How long until they read into Antonio's philosophy and can fully contribute to the team? City have got it right concluding all their business early. Real shame we tend to leave it so late.

 
It's 4 days after the Burnley game where we heard 130M would be spend, but so far we haven't got anything to show for. It's obvious the selling parties will drag it as long as possible, I agree with the above it will be a deadline day madness. Our mistake was undoubtedly sell first and hoping others play nice like we were, they obviously didn't get the memo.

Would that be Carefree and KTBFFH?  You standing behind the Sky idiot, blasting them out with a pint of London Pride in your hand?

 
I'd expect at least two players, three/four just isn't going to happen in my opinion. 

 
i think adapting to the league is overstated. if the player/s have the ability, they won't have a problem adapting.

 
Do not think there will be any more signings. Conte will have to trust the kids to fill in .

 
Really can't see it happening tbh...just hope we don't waste our money on sh*te...

 
Yeah w** we didn`t get Matiudi for that price ? It`s reported between 15-20m.

What the hell is the board thinking and doing? They are playing with Conte and our nerves.

enigma, thats complete b.s.

Most of the players need time to adapt. That`s not a robot. Look at Morata, he is with us for a month, and Conte said he wasn`t fully fit ready, and not fit to our style and philosophy.

Most of them will need time to get use with new teammates, style, formation, and if from other country with the new city and so on. Not to mention how bad is for the manager to not know who he can use.

It`s idiotic to drag so far out. But i can`t expect anything else by this s*** board.
