I saw the full Press Conference with Ferguson today, and I urge everyone not to take the "less optimistic" quotes flying about as if nothing is going to happen.
The Journalist asked Ferguson..."A couple of weeks ago you said you were optimistic about adding one or two players to the squad. Do you still maintain that optimism ?"
He smiled and replied..."I'm less optimistic. How many days have we left, 11?....*Smiles* and says.."Under Pressure" *In a real Scottish accent* lol.
"We're working at something...listen, you never know in football, we may get him, we may not. If we don't we'll carry on with what we've got".
He said he was less optimistic in a lightly humoured response to the way he was asked the question, and ofcourse refering to the amount of time left in the window.
He looked confident enough to me when saying what he did.
It was like last week when he spoke of the 'surprise', you'd have to have seen the interview to understand the way he actually meant it. Don't take the quotes floating about at face value.
Just to confirm aswell, he said in the conference that Manucho had got the work permit, but he is still recovering from the metatarsal injury. He has done bits of training and been quite promising, in terms of recovery from the injury, but he is still well short of playing a competitive match.
