Agreed, you would have thought that with the magnitude of the rebuild required, you would look to have at least 50% of the new players in the building ready to go on tour. In reality we have 1.the concern is- next week the players and staff are away for a week
so there won't be any transfers or dealings then. We never have signed anyone during the tour
we then have a couple of weeks to sign over 10 players who would have had zero integration with the team...
And will take 2 months to get 'match fit'Realistically we’re going to get the majority of new signings in around 10 days before Leicester at this rate.
Not sure what we've got to gain from not announcing it.Didn't one of the alleged itk say that the Swansea lad Latibeaudiere had signed
Fanbase moral if nothing else. I’m starting to get Tony Mowbrays summer of 16/17 vibes.Not sure what we've got to gain from not announcing it.

You think it’s bad now just imagine how bad it’ll be tomorrow when we still haven’t signed anyone and we’re heading off to Portugal with 12 fit players.Do we start to merge this with the "negative" topic?.... seriously though I'm feeling very pessimistic about the club and towards Doug today, Robins surely can't be happy with how late we're leaving it?
Ages left to sell Hamer, Sheaf and O'HareNearly 2 months to go until the window closes. Just saying
Any news on when he's not going to be the Caribbean? Can't imagine it's an easy task bless him.Maybe because the contract isnt officially signed while he is the caribbean?
He's still on international duty, their game was 8 days ago.......Any news on when he's not going to be the Caribbean? Can't imagine it's an easy task bless him.
Apologies in advance, I'll see my self out.
I was taking the piss out of the missing word in the original reply.. guessing the joke didn't hitHe's still on international duty, their game was 8 days ago.......
He’s probably got to go through a period of decompression in Cyprus like squaddies do to soften the blow of the change from Jamaica to Coventry…..He's still on international duty, their game was 8 days ago.......

Just frustrating that King won't (or can't) provide bridging finance to get some of those through the door now before we end up losing signings to other teams. If we know what Sporting are offering now then we can use that as a benchmark for what we can spend and who to bring in adn King can take his money back when the Vik transfer is concluded. The haggling over the final price isn't going to completely change all out targets, at most it will allow one first team signing or two squad players. Besides once Vik is sold clubs will start upping prices knowing that we've got the money in.Dunno what is so hard for people to understand?
We need to wait for the money from the sale of Vik to know what our budget is. Doesn't mean there wouldn't be a budget if the sale collapsed though. It would be considerably smaller yes but there will be a budget for every scenario.
Absolutely no point making filler buys now when we could pool the total budget and buy some quality a little later in the window. It will come together, I'm 100% sure of it.
They’re playing again on Sunday. It’s the Gold Cup (North America’s version of the Euros). Jamaica are playing Guatemala in the quarters.He’s probably got to go through a period of decompression in Cyprus like squaddies do to soften the blow of the change from Jamaica to Coventry…..

To be fair hes about 2 for 5
He knew it was close. That's enough for meTo be fair hes about 2 for 5
Did he though?He knew it was close. That's enough for me
He looks good... He looks fine... Ellis Simms is on my mind... and he's City's number 4.
Number 4 could be revealed todayHe looks good... He looks fine... Ellis Simms is on my mind... and he's City's number 4.
Did he ever suggest it was Simms? He’s only mentioned a number 4 and possibly Hamer and been saying since last Friday someone will be announced. Yeah, someone will be announced in the future…He knew it was close. That's enough for me
Any news on the other 9 players we're gonna need?Thanks all, apologies will be accepted
