Anymore than two just being greedy... On a serious note it shows how we are one injury/suspension away from a real problem

Which is more than our non striker signing will achieve. A brace that is.

Probably working hard until their January winter holiday.

Hopefully they are due back soon.

So Murray possibly suspended, no Sidwell tonight and Stephens possibly injured. Plus obviously ak and Baldock. Maybe that will focus the minds of the recruitment team. Anyone else at happy to wait until August 31st.

That's the thing I don't get. Why is it assumed that better players will be signed later in the window?

This is pretty much where I am. I am surprised we aren't further along at this point particularly as the two key signings in midfield and up front have yet to be filled and that we have been planning for this for a while. In the case of Norwood I was convinced we would not have let him go...

I do agree with you to a point. If, as I am sure we do, operate a cluster type policy and have supposedly been tracking these players for three years why are we seemingly in a position two weeks from the start of still needing our most important signings and why are we as some think hoping for...

That's the thing though. We did score goals in the championship but the challenge ahead is significantly harder. Without doubt we need better up front and I would be surprised and worried if we did not achieve this.

For whatever reason the two most important signings needed for me, cm and cf have yet to be made and that's disappointing. The one thing I don't get is that prices and wages will come down as we near the window. Could you not say the opposite may happen by the simple law of supply and demand as...

The only difference for me would be Brown for Murphy with what we currently have available. Still looks light in premier league terms for me and Naylor saying it may be close to the starting line-up come 12th August isn't great.

That's how I read it as well perhaps with a late loan for goldson if he goes out. Answers the question about the Czech being a ds signing which some wondered about.

4 to go which sounds right to me of which the cm and cf are key. I hope we don't end up missing out on one of those two and personally worry about us signing the cf. I hope to be proved wrong.

4 players still to get according to the Argus and just over 4 weeks to go so going to be busy. Included within the are the cm and cf which are the most important in my mind. Who's confident we will get all 4? Me I'm not convinced the cf will head our way. Here's to being wrong.

Aren't we currently at a squad number of 21 not including towell, ince and lua lua who shouldn't be the near the 25. About a month left so lots of work needed, and the most important work for me. Let's hope for something this week although not convinced

With Norwood gone we are very light in midfield and I assumed, probably incorrectly, that he would be replaced in the short term so hopeful today or tomorrow. Brown isn't a replacement as I see it more a forward player.

Okay can someone confirm if this is the Norwood replacement or is this in addition. By the way a decent addition I think.

Can't let Norwood go without a replacement ready. On that basis midfielder today.

You would assume that although it's been a very slow summer in terms of inbound the club would not sanction the loan of Norwood without a replacement being on the cards in the very short term. We have enough to do anyway without added pressure. At least I hope they wouldn't, so I expect to see...

Sorry you are right although I did assume or hope that the last three on that list won't be in our 25. I will be worried if they are.
