Getting Worried For Next Season?

[Caveman]

So Cox leaves the club yesterday & good luck at Orient. Right move for him.
It's June & the manager hasn't signed his contract and we are in transfer talks to buy which quality players next season..........?

Firstly, Cox is no lose.

Secondly, The manager already HAS a contract. The talk is of extending it. Which is being discussed. :US:

But I will give you one thing it is now June and isn't the weather lovely!?

Isn't 'Steve Foster' really 'bhadeb'. Aka never ever happy.

 

[vulture]

steve foster go and support palace you are begging for a club in crisis

 

[Hiney]

Yes, we are not yet in June, however,.....

This pre-season is beginning to look like the last two.
Some high quality exits & little activity on bringing in new quality players.

Haven't the club learnt from the last two years?
Leaving signings to the last minute is a gamble & we were fighting relegation for the first 2/3rds of the previous seasons!!

This time around even our manager has yet to sign his contract too!

I am not pessimistic, however, am becoming agitated & concerned.

Paranoia setting in or not?

What do you think?

Negative twat aren't you

Does Steve Foster have a son we can sign up?

Worked out well with Steve Gatting and Gerry Ryan, didn't it...

So on a scale of 1 to 10 (if 10) is 100% confident that we will get promotion next season & 1, having zero chance - where would you rate the Albion on 3rd June 2010, given our current squad.

3.5 by me

Not panicking or anything, but it would be nice to see some positive news......all that seems to have happened so far is that we've lost Crofts and Calderon (and Kuipers for that matter).
It was good to see Gus show clearly that he wasn't going to be messed around by players and their agents - but I just rather wish he'd made his point with someone other than Calderon, the best right back we'vs seen at the Albion for what, twenty years?

with our present squad I think you are being optomistic with 3.5, but come 1st August we will not have only the current players, there will be a number of additions, I am sure.

 

[Mackenzie]

Not worried. I'm enjoying the cricket.

Football starts in the middle of August for me.

I am amazed at being called over optimistic!
Most folk think that I am NSC doomonger!!!

I only said that because I think the squad at the moment would struggle at the wrong end of the table but with a few additions that would change and imho we would be able to challenge for promotion. I am convinced those additions will arrive very soon.

you've missed the fact that we've signed the best left back we've had at the club for a large number of years.

You're right - tell me more! Have we made Painter's loan move permanent - and is he THAT good? Did a job last season, but....................

 

[BensGrandad]

Perhaps I am different to most people but I am sure that something is happening behind the scenes that we will all be pleased with. I am basing this on the fact that Gus has said he wanted his squad assembled sooner rather than later and that Tony Bloom has said he expects promotion this season and the 2 things cannot happen unless there is some movement and everything is too quiet for either to happen at the moment.
