At the beginning of this year I was informed by a club insider that there will be two strong additions to the squad for 2015. It was obvious that leaks have been shut down because he would not divulge who the club was negotiating with, and I was simply told that they would be quality signings.
Obviously this means that contracts will be finished/not renewed in order for salary cap room to be opened up. I do not want to speculate on who will go because this has been done to death in other blogs and I also think that it is an unnecessary negative focus on a team that is performing well.
However, this insider spoke very strongly about how confident that the club was about a top 8 finish this year (in spite of comments to the media about nobody thinking about top 8). This person was also very adamant that the signings would be very significant and the impression that I was left with was that talks must have been advanced.
I was given no clues as to who it could be and would not pretend to speculate. Again, it is a good sign that I was not given any names.
So the question remains - what players are available next year that are "quality signings".

Hey Miatch. I know you get good info at times. This is a fair dinkum comment given to me from someone who would know something. I have no intention of coming on here pretending to know something that I don't. I wish I had names but as I said I'm glad that I wasn't given any because it means any negotiations are being kept confidential.
