If true you would assume a minimum of one midfielder due in soon. Didnt we want one extra including Norwood? I don't see us letting anyone go with the current squad level as it is. 22 players currently not including Lua lua and towell unless I can't count.
Be nice to see some movement this week. All very quiet on the rumours front however, Not sure if that's good or bad.
22 players used Saturday including lua lua and towell but missing Ak and Baldock so loads to do.
No point in panicking I can do nothing about it. Disappointed and surprised by our lack of action so far then yes. We seem to happy at the moment to surrender our hard won status without giving ourselves a chance and that's a real shame.
Did he really say that. You know hopes to have maybe 1 or perhaps 2 in by a couple of days before our first game. God that is very worrying if true. Why if we have been scouting these players for perhaps 3 years are we not in a position to act. In my simple mind if say fee or wages are an issue...
You could view this either way however. Whilst you could be right that players and agents might be more realistic it could go the other way in that clubs will know how desperate we are come the 31st and the price will reflect that need. Still in the sooner rather than later camp.
With you on this. I think they would survive without anyone else on board, we on the other hand? Not sure why Naylor feels the need to defend the club with these type of articles. He then takes to Twitter to have a small pop at those with concerns. It can't be viewed as a successful summer's...
I appreciate that it probably makes me a bad fan but could only muster 5 on the mojo reckoner.
I always just wanted my team to be competitive and give themselves the best possible chance of success and the lack of activity this summer coupled with injuries to key players has left me a little...
Another upbeat Argus piece this morning with the now famous Baldock injury taking longer than expected line. This and no news on Knockheart has me worried. Now down to 2 strikers and missing our best player as it stands and Barber said yesterday on the radio nothing in for a few days at least...
Looking at the squad we will be solid and organized at the back as you would expect but possess little or no threat up front and lack strength and pace in midfield and wide. How come this far into the window with the season looming large are we so far away from what's needed. It's not been great...
This all day long. We are struggling to fill the gaps in the squad as it stands without creating another particularly with Knockheart potentially injured
I have to disagree here about ince and lua lua. Neither were considered good enough for the squad last year in the championship. If they are in the squad this year something has gone wrong on recruitment.
Without trying to be wise after the event the last week has proved why, in my opinion, we should have been much further forward in our recruitment by now.
With 3 weeks to go we still need recruitment in 3 key areas in cm, c.f. and wide player. Without these as others have said we will struggle...
So back to 4 or 5 still needed with the latest news. The wide player could become pressing depending on news on Knockheart. For me cm and striker most important and before season starts with the caveat on Knockheart.
Wonder what the knee issue is? When you think of the players that move for big fees after serious knee injuries, Murray for instance, this must be pretty bad.
Disappointing but understand the club's stance. Funny how feelings can change in a few hours. Was feeling upbeat yesterday afternoon with this and the Suttner signing. Now this is off and knockheart possibly injured going into the new season and I'm back to concerned. We must be rapidly running...
A player not required or not considered good enough for a promotion chasing squad. I would suggest that if he is anywhere near the 25 we have not recruited well enough.
I liked what I saw of him albeit limited. Clutching at straws maybe but would we let him go without some full backs being recruited in the very short term.
