Bruce has targeted 3 free transfers to boost the squad...

Guess your three on here, only one that seems to have been confirmed is Seb Larsson.

2 from England, 1 from abroad

My guesses:

Larsson
Vaughan
No idea

Hopefully the two domestic ones are right, don't fucking want Bothroyd.

Robert Green
Dudley Campbell
Peter Odemwingie

The foreign one has to be Klose, surely.

From the article it looks like we are attempting to do things on the cheap "Bosmans & Loans" slightly dissapointed with that.

It sounds like whilst not getting rid Short is not willing to back Bruce with money.

that young un from arsenal who we have on trial will be one

I'd be happy with them two, I'd also take Bothroyd on a free if he was coming to sit on the bench.

We can't confirm that (yet).

Last season we might have thought we were relying on loans (we did to an extent) but then the club paid £13M for Gyan.

If we want our squad to be the same size as the current season we need 8 new players to replace the 5 loanees, Bent, Campbell and Zenden. Very few clubs can afford to spend 5 - 10 million on 8 new players
