Long time observer first time poster.

I just wanted to say I am baffled at the negativity. Surely the main objective this summer was to keep the big 3 which we have.

The problem is yes, whilst on the face of it it's great to keep your best players but to what end?
Are they going to fire us to promotion? Seems unlikely given the start we've made & the lack of depth & balance throughout the rest of the squad.

We had budgeted to sell one enabling us to strengthen elsewhere but that hasn't happened so instead we, at best, tread water until January/next summer & try to sell again the difference is they all have 6-12 months less remaining on their contracts meaning they will attract substantially smaller fees.

P.s. Welcome to the madhouse!

There are posters on here in meltdown whom I always thought were more sensible.

Not strictly true that though, is it? We paid a fee for Palmer.

People aren't bothered about things being true, it's madness.

Liquid Gold · Sep 2, 2022

My understanding on Palmer from contacts at Bristol City is that they requested it be announced as undisclosed fee because they didn't want their fans getting in a piss for them giving him away for nothing.

I will stand by this as it's from people that are always a step ahead what's happening down here.

Briles · Sep 2, 2022

I'm not arsed to be honest. lost 3 defenders and brought in 2 but added a CAM. I've seen worse windows

Yep, my take too. I am finding it all quite bizarre. It was by no means a great window, but we kept hold of three players I think we were consigned to losing at least one. We have added a player in a key position who looks to be a good addition (so far), we have replaced a loanee LCB with two, an inexperienced LWB with an inexperienced LWB (although *at the moment* this looks like a significant downgrade, noone was saying this at the time). We have lost Hyam which is disappointing. It could have been a lot worse. It's an okay window. As I have said on other threads, it will be on field issues that cause us to be in a relegation scrap. We have the tools to stay up. So much talk about 'not gonna bother going if we have windows like this'. Absolute nonsense. I go because I support Coventry City, not 'good transfer business FC'. Call me naïve but I would go if we'd sold all big three and not replaced them. This place the last few weeks has been as bad as Twitter/Facebook.

That's ridiculous. It's the kind of conspiracy theory that appears on there all the time.

Yeah but people seem disappointed they didn't go now because it fits, pointing out how they are all shit or injured.

The next thing is "We kept them because SISU are selling". People will buy into it and get excited and then worked up when that doesn't happen either.

Yeah talk of it being the 'worst window ever' is just ridiculous. Can guarantee the same people were pissing their pants at the thought of losing Vik/Hamer/O'Hare at the start of the window!

I think losing Callum Wilson, Cyrus Christie and Joe Murphy and replacing them with Mohamed Coulibaly, Josh McQuoid and co is worse!

Or the Andre Wright/Kwame Thomas window

It'll be easy to tell when our accounts come out for the season because it obviously won't have been spent elsewhere. Shame we have to wait ages for them.

Too right. If you want brilliant transfer windows and a successful team then CCFC aren't the team for you. This year marks 50 years since going to my first match as a seven year old. I would have given up a long time ago if I had the same attitude.

Yeah, they don't put "Money for Palmer" in there.

So how are you going to tell then? It would be just as easy to say that 95% of the player payment (for instalments) that would be in the accounts went on Palmer as the other extreme.

Who are we still paying instalments for? Vik and Sheaf? maybe Hamer?

It'll be pretty simple to do a year on year comparison and see where the differences are.

Terry Gibson's perm · Sep 2, 2022

The keeper Tyler has gone on loan to Hereford for a month.

torchomatic · Sep 2, 2022

Cian Tyler has gone to Hereford on a youth loan.

I hope OSB is not busy as no one else has managed to do it

David O'Day · Sep 2, 2022

We didn't sell any of our best best players, apart from RCB we have a better and stronger squad than last year

Lots of people on here are clueless wankers who like to wallow in a false sense of negativity

They said 'in the summer transfer window' - that ended yesterday.

robbiethemole · Sep 2, 2022

None of this really matters cos when the energy price cap issues bite, how the hell can we afford to keep the lights on in the stadium?
One company reporting their electricity bills gone from £10k pa to estimated £140k for next year! Hope SISU have some good credit lines

Is a loan a transfer?

Absolutely not. Worrying all season about losing the BIG 3

Transfer window doesn't apply to Non-League

ajsccfc · Sep 2, 2022

Hyam going out is a concern as we feel a bit threadbare at the back in terms of experience so I'm hoping there's still a loan or freebie on the way to remedy that, but otherwise the window wasn't horrendous. Not much to get excited about but nothing to get the pitchforks lighted, the postponements have completely skewered the start to the season so I'm not getting too giddy with panic unless we're still where we are in November or so.
