You mean who have we signed but not announcement or who are we in talks with?
Because recently talks don't mean much, but we are in talks with some Internationals along with a few non Internationals but good club players.
Okay anyone else get a feeling that the signings for next season are going to be a massive let down. Oh like the signings for the last few seasons have been.

Come on we didn’t make the top 4 last season, probably won’t this season, we need quality being drafted in or we’ll slip further away from the top.

Maybe.
Internationals don't buy success though.
I would take a Brad Barritt now over a lot of International 12's currently for example.

I would like to see a couple Internationals brought in if the club can pull off the signings I would be very happy, but we need a better core of 12 month club players IMO.

Another possibility if Sale have signed Dan du Preez is the PSTD rumour MIGHT be finished.
What with Dan playing Lock a fair bit.

3 of our best signings in recent seasons, Holmes, Genge and Thompson none of who were internationals at the time.
The next bunch of signings will be what Geordan wants to implement his style of play.

To be fair some of our key signings of yesteryear, Parling, Herring, Castro, Ayerza, Kayser, Stanko, Tait, Allen, Thompstone, etc. Weren't the top of anyones shopping list, but I do think we miss the x-factor forwards. Genge aside, we lack quality. It is a worry that we're struggling to get stuff over the line.

To be fair was only reading headlines which confirmed signings. Apologies to all if I have set hares running.
