Exclusive: DS on late signings speculation

David Sullivan has admitted to ClaretandHugh the Irons are virtually certain to leave the summer transfer dealings where they are.

The co chairman  – in a morning conversation with us – explained that late signings are generally not great signings and that although nothing is 100 per cent certain that probably looks like it for the summer of 2016.

CandH was the first media outlet to tell you that Slaven Bilic had made his mind up between Andre Ayew and Carlos Bacca who had become unlikely to join the club.

Now David has confirmed that the likliehood of any new arrivals is only a very distant shout whilst being careful not to close the door completely. Should a decent possibility come along then we could be interested but a late swoop is not high on the radar .

Speaking to us this morning DS said: ” YOU NEVER KNOW, but we are probably 90 per cent  done. Last  minute buys are usually bad buys.”
