Two signings before the market closes. “We have to analyze what we are missing and not lose sight of the fact that we have economic problems. There are two positions that we need to improve. I have no preferences, both are important. We have a short cash flow and a little weak to to such a long season.On the other hand, it is nothing new that we are looking for one new. There are still market days to see if it’s possible. “
