We don't need a defender over and above a forward by my reckoning we have 7 defenders plus Willis back training, we need goals, we have no where near enough attempts at goal.
More players incoming tomorrow? (1 Viewer)

In fact he has now just said in the press conference no loan players coming in at all.
Has hinted there may still be signings though and has spoken of a powerful attacking player (must be young though, as he is talking about for maybe 2 seasons time) and a foreign midfielder. Seems they have been training with us.
Ditto AFC.

Wonder who the foreign midfielder is? Kept under wraps.
I think the kid is the Otshudi kid?

Here you go. He is a midfielder and is also a free agent.
Also a footballer too apparently, so that bit fits as well and it could be him I suppose.

No good for us as he seems to score the odd goal that would mean that he would need to leave his own half unlike Fleck!
But seriously if he can pass it forward and yo one of our players he is already a better option that the previously mentioned player

We won't have any midfielders next year with Fleck, O'Brien, Murphy, Cole, Maddison etc all leaving,
I think Mogga is doing the right thing by bringing in players now for next season.

Agree, well as long as he's not bringing players for next year accepting and believing we'll still be in League One.
I am hoping he believes that Jones and Rose are good enough for the Championship and if it's this Bulgarian, then him too.

Tis the one thing I am curious about. We don't know what division we are going to be in yet next season.
Looking at Rose I would say I think he can do a job in League One. Championship though? I very much have my doubts, though of course we haven't seen that much of him yet.

TM hasn’t mentioned much about new contracts for existing players? I know we don’t yet know what league we will be in next season, but you would think there are a couple who could/should at least be part of a squad for both, and so would merit at least another year?
Martin, Fleck, Stokes all spring to mind.

If you stretch a team you need to be able to reap the benifits of it.
You could put a Jack Russell on the left wing and the defenders wouldn't be able to get the ball off him, but eventually he'll run the ball out for a throw or give it to the opposition by accident.
Nothing that Kent did when he was here was anything more than that. In three games time half the fans would be wanking over his step overs whilst the other half would remember how frustrating he was.
As for 'not having a clue about football', I've hardly seen anything on here from you that really pulls up trees, it's usually just shitty comments about other people's posts rather than stirling football intelligence or meaningful opinion.

Absolutely this.
It's good he's thinking about next season, but we also have an immediate goal, which is to be sitting in the playoffs in 9 games time.
If we can strengthen now, we really need to.

Think the forward is Otshudy. Fits the description.
We're also looking at one or two Nike Academy players for our U21s

We will see.. but if he dont play him maybe we wont.. he seems to like getting players in and not playing them much Henderson etc
but how can you offer some but not all? be great for morale on the run in that!!

I take your point - but it doesn’t leave much time at all to sort out contract extensions once the season finishes (especially if we make the playoffs) without leaving the possibility of other clubs starting negotiations with players in the last month of their deal. Means we may run the risk of losing Fleck, Martin, Stokes etc.
Ah well, fuck it I’m sure it’s all under control.

If you was in a similar position and your contract was up and for arguments sake you got £500 a week but IF the club got promoted you would then get £1000 a week when would you sign a new contract ?

If there was an enhanced salary on promotion maybe, there is some value in being settled, especially if you have a family.

Very true but greed being the order of the day i guess many would take the wait and see approach...or have a good agent saying if we gain promotion... but i guess we will never know exactly what goes on behind the scenes

Good that we're signing players with the longer term in mind. Mowbray must have heard all the SBT experts moaning.

The Nike Academy is a decent standard. Two players have just joined clubs who could be playing in the Premier League next year, Sean Clare to Sheffield Wednesday and Tafoiq Olomowewe to Burnley.
