amazing how fast signing players for mns of £ gets old........
Number 4Number 1 its content not contempt
Number 2 where have i said I'd be happy if the window closed now
Number 3 Of course we have enough.
See my above postOf course we have enough to field 11 players, in fact we can easily field two teams of 11 players. Obviously keeper is a problem but we have two full teams here:
Wilson
MvE
Bidwell
Thomas
Binks
Eccles
Sheaf
Rudoni
Wright
Simms
EMC
Collins
Burroughs
Dasilva
Latibeaudiere
Kitching
Torp
Allen
Palmer
Sakamoto
Tavares
Rodriguez
That's before you even get to youngsters like Andrews, Obikwo, Daush etc.
I am sure we will sign more but they can't all be exotic foreign signing names for £5million unless we sell some of our assets first.
I know Saddle can defend himself, and I’m not trying to speak for him, but I don’t think him or anyone else is “panicking”, we’re just saying it’s not been a good transfer window so far as others have claimed. I have hope we’ll get in at least 2-3 signings but I don’t think any of us panicking, just yet.
Pretty sure “that’s gone right through your head” isn’t the saying.Number 4
Fair enough. But others are following that line of thinking.See my above post
We bought Rudoni presumably with the money we would have spent on Stamenic, and Binks.Stamenic deal looked legit so clearly still got some money to play with even without Gyok leaving, and i doubt that had any affect on the purchase of the keeper either, which i'd imagine was happening independently and as well as Stamenic. Be patient, could still be some interesting incomings.
no, you are just really thick
It would nice to think we still have money, but since Stamenic jilted us, we bought Rudoni for near the same rumoured amount. I am therefore unconvinced.Stamenic deal looked legit so clearly still got some money to play with even without Gyok leaving, and i doubt that had any affect on the purchase of the keeper either, which i'd imagine was happening independently and as well as Stamenic.

Think we could get by without a CB but desperately need a GK and CM and a ST.

I don't think that's the case at all, both very different players and both players its quite clear we'd been tracking for some time.We bought Rudoni presumably with the money we would have spent on Stamenic, and Binks.
I've kind of come to terms with having the 4 we have now and hoping Lati just isn't as shit as he was in the latter half of the season. I actually expect all 4 to go up a notch this season.Think we could get by without a CB but desperately need a GK and CM and a ST.
Concerning thing is there is none
Do we desperately need a CM? We have Sheaf, Eccles, Torp, Rudoni, Allen and then Palmer if we only played 2 of those noted. Don’t get me wrong, I want one and think we’ll bring one in, but we’re not exactly in a ‘bare bones’ situation.
It's moaning for moanings sake tbh. This season starts almost a week later than last season, our first friendly isn't for 2 weeks and it's still over a month til we start. By all means start analysing the window when it's actually pivotal but for now it makes little sense. Only those with zero patience or constant negativity seem to have an issue with the current transfers.I know Saddle can defend himself, and I’m not trying to speak for him, but I don’t think him or anyone else is “panicking”, we’re just saying it’s not been a good transfer window so far as others have claimed.

And how did that season end up?How did people cope when this was our ENTIRE summer?
Palmer (free)
Panzo (loan)
Doyle (loan)
Adaramola (loan - returned in September)

Oh yeah 100%, first choice keeper is a given but I mean on top of the £2.5 mil we’re supposed to be spending on Dovin.If we have a couple of million to spare I would far rather spend it on a first choice keeper than reserve right back.
I don’t think anyone’s really “analysing” it as such, I was just saying so far it’s not been amazing, really just a passing comment that’s all.It's moaning for moanings sake tbh.

Totally agree. Even our better players who signed last year are all a year older, more experienced, a full preseason and coached by Robins/Adi for a year. I expect Wright, Simms and MVE who were all strong last season to be better again and hit the ground running. Torp hopefully settled too as looked great in early glimpses. We've added more capable of affecting the first team and moved on a few of slightly lesser quality.I've kind of come to terms with having the 4 we have now and hoping Lati just isn't as shit as he was in the latter half of the season. I actually expect all 4 to go up a notch this season.
But it's still a better window than most of the championship so far.I don’t think anyone’s really “analysing” it as such, I was just saying so far it’s not been amazing, really just a passing comment that’s all.
We need to sign more than 2 players. Our squad was tiny last season and as things stand we’re currently net 0 in terms of ins/outs.
You seem to be replying to a lot of points that I didn’t make? I know it’s the 8th of July, I didn’t say we needed to make a ton of signings right this instant. You’re the one who said we only needed to sign two more players and then our business would be done. I was saying that two players isn’t enough, no matter the timeframe.It's 8th July FFS.
Folks are saying it's a boring window because they're used to 10-12 of the squad leaving each summer. Other than O'Hare, no one that's left this summer is a loss to the match day squad.
We've spent more on players that joined this summer than we had under SISU the whole time they were here. Slightly worried some of the fanbase has become entitled in the space of 12 months.
Collins
Wilson
MvE
Latibeaudiere
Thomas
Binks
Kitching
Bidwell
Da Silva
Sheaf
Eccles
Torp
Rudoni
Palmer
Allen
Sakamoto
Raphael
Simms
Tavares
Wright
EMC
Let that sink in. Apart from RCB, that's two players we own in each position. Add in there's reason to believe we'll add a GK, a CM, a CB and a striker. Chill your tits!
Last summer we started pre-season full of U18s and U21s. Now we've got a month to find a few upgrades and depth options. Not half a first XI. Boring? Nah.
replying to a lot of points that I didn’t make
Yep.
We've added 2 untried wingers, we have high hopes For EMC, and he should be the bollocks but Rodrigues could be yakubu could be Tats
Binks who we had anyway
Rudoni who's evidently very inconsistent.
Add another 3 or 4 of quality we will be there, and I'm sure we will just saying as it is at the moment it's just a bit meh
