To be fair my earlier post said I didn't expect a signing before the season started and that I for one found that concerning. I did not say anyway that I thought the club were unaware or complacent which seems to be implied in your reply just that as a fan I had hoped we may have filled this gap...

I am aware of that but would add that we released Greer and has so far failed to replace him and now with injuries to goldson and the German (who was injued last season so the club were aware of his prognosis) we are possibly going into Derby playing Bruno out of position and having DS on the...

If you are correct and we lose him I would say he would be a substantially bigger loss than either Dunk or Stephens and would probably end any faint chance of Auto's. I believe the club will see this and resist.

Hope I am massively wrong but beginning to think that we wont see any inbound until towards end of August.

As others have said to us and our achieving our ambitions then he is priceless. He makes and scores goals and is one of the few players who is capable of turning the game on his own. Players like him will always attract bids but I for one would be absolutely gutted if we end up selling to a...

I don't think anyone is. Last year we had Dunk, Goldson, Greer and the German on the books. We have lost Greer and replaced him with, by the clubs own admission, an initial DS signing and have two of the above injured and are unsure of the return. Surely to even match the strength in that area...

But short terms loans are not longer available. 6 months or full season I believe.

Hope you are right. He picked up the knock early in pre-season in Tenerife I believe and is yet to have any game time. Even with 45 against Lazio his fitness for Derby must be questioned.

Guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I think we need another CB and that as stated Hall is for DS with a view to first team. We have no indication when either of Goldson or the German will be back and if the latter end of the season proved anything we need four experienced CB on the...

Hopefully he will prove it soon

So you are comfortable with the current levels at CB? I fully believe we need 4 proven CB's and which meant we needed one as soon as Greer was released. It is made additionally urgent by two of these players being doubtful for Derby. Having Bruno there or even Hall who by his previous managers...

Agreed that a striker is important and like you suspect it will be nearer the end of the window, but feel a CB is much more pressing given our current situation in that area. Goldson and the German injured and no definitive news on when they will be fit and the prospect of Bruno or Hall at CB...

Trip to opticians beckons I think. Didn't notice the @skyports bit and was thinking oh crap.

Everyone is aware its a friendly and results don't overly matter, but lets be honest the performances in both games have been a long way short of where we hoped they would be and both Luton and Fulham were a lot brighter and stronger than us. Much work to do in the next fortnight.

Like you I am relatively confident of at least one CB before Derby, but let be honest that wouldn't just be nice it is an absolute necessity.

Tend to agree with you. He leaves himself open to questions from some if we are still some way from any inbound.

Was at Aldershot on Tuesday and we were poor and defensively fragile. Not sure we were much better today which is a worry. Hopefully Stevenage will be an improvement. Luton and Fulham looked fitter and brighter than we did and certainly a lot further done the road towards being ready. I know...

I must have missed something here. 4 astute signings? We have added Murray and confirmed Sidwell who was here last year. The others have been DS additions with a view to the first team. Surely you wouldn't be happy if we needed these latter signings regularly in the coming months?

I hope that goldson will be fit come the start otherwise I guess it will be Bruno centrally? After today in the next two games we should get more of an idea of the first line up. No more injuries would be good.

Very true, waiting for the stevens, Kayal, Dunk etc is off if they don't play this afternoon.
