I get what you are saying and understand the possibility. But let's be honest if that is the current plan than it's a big gamble and surely it means we have missed out on our targets on the cluster type policy we supposedly operate. After all you surely don't go from Abraham and Delaney for...

We will have to agree to disagree then. For me waiting until he was replaced was a better option than usingl for example Bruno in midfield like Tuesday even if he wasn't needed in the 18.

Very confused now. I thought the smart move was to buy on August 31st at 11pm and blending of signings into the squad was unnecessary and pointless. At least I have read that somewhere quite a lot.

No but even you can't believe letting a midfield player go without replacing him in the very short term isn't the best bit of planning ever. Lots on here are saying we will get signings when players are replaced at respective clubs and then allowed to leave. If that's so true why didn't we do that?

This as well. Ignoring one striker on Sunday why did we let Norwood go and then not move swiftly to replace. Bruno played midfield on Tuesday since Sidwell was not around. How can that be ideal? With the forward situaton and this I don't get the clubs recruitment model.

Another upbeat piece in the Argus today about how we are down to one striker on Sunday as Murray can't play and hemed can cement his place against city. One week to go and one available striker. Whatever way it is dressed up that's a poor position to be in. After Abraham nothing, so much for the...

I don't really get the bits we keep getting told about prices being a surprise. Let's be honest prices are inflated due to the tv money, money we are happy to take. And we would expect any selling price for say dunk to also reflect these prices. For me you can't have it all ways, it is what it is.

And we will possibly still be waiting for the elusive striker!

I hope you are right but the difficult questions in these areas never seem to get asked.

I was under the impression that they were after both at the time but will stand corrected on that

Love too but in Spain on holiday. Feel free to borrow them.

The views on here are pretty polarised with not much middle ground between optimistic and pessimistic. I sway toward the latter without doubt. By now I wouldn't have expected all our business completed but I would have hoped That one of the key signings either up front or in midfield were on...

None taken. As before I hope you are right and my concerns are wildly off the mark. I want us to have the best possible chance of success and a new striker is key to that.

No I didn't. You have your opinion on how the window will pan out and I mine, neither are correct yet. Just because I don't share your all is rosy view at times doesn't make me or anyone else with concerns less of a fan. The current strikers did well last year but this is different and they...

I don't think the club are lying. I sadly dont have your confidence that they will close a deal for a striker. I truly hope you are right but I've never subscribed to the mantra that either better players become available nearer the window close or that prices will come down. I just don't think...

Love this to be true. Sadly if Seville are reluctant on wages you would guess the same would be true for us. Well I can dream until Naylor says no as usual.

Well we need 4. Don't believe we will get any first team players in before city. All the stuff you read indicates that to be the case. As for before the window I sadly think we will end up missing out on the striker with the usual caveat of we can look again in January if needed.

Nothing doing on this one at the moment according to Naylor. On to the next that's if we have a next.

You will get no argument from me that fees and wages are obsence and I admire our stance to a degree to not give in to these demands. But it's not a stand you can take on your own and you will struggle to compete if everyone else is meeting these demands. I hope we can find the balance needed or...

Getting worried now. All very quiet and if last night proved anything with the Murray sending off and using Bruno in midfield it's that leaving it late is a big gamble. Any chance before city do we think? For me I think I've accepted nothing before then. Not that I won't be checking every few...
