So, the winger from Crystal Palace and the midfielder from Tottenham don 't count as signings then?????

bit pedantic Mark.
He is the first signing intended straight for the first team. The other 2 players were signed for the development squad to see how they get on.
I dont know the player so it will be interesting to see what he is like.

Wasn't being pedantic! Just stating a fact!

Plus I'm guessing we owe a fee for this one so it's not like the other two that were effectively freebies.

No Gary, free transfer! He is already 24 so a free agent!

Well 2 players signed on 1 year contracts for the development squad hardly feels like a signing to most of us.
Hopefully they will develop really well and we sign them up on longer contracts.

My fault to be honest Mark, I meant to put first, first team signing of the summer, and not first signing of the summer.

The BBC don`t class the signings of List,and Osadebe as first Team signings,as they`re not on the completed Transfer pages.
Good to see we have sorted out the RB position with the signing of Ryan Jackson.

Didn't realise that the BBC was in control of the transfer list!

They`re not,but they only class first Team signings as proper Transfers,unless you think both the Youngsters are going straight into the first Team?
