are going to have to sell before we can buy. How long is it going to take us to offload the likes of Bent, Faye, Fortune, Thomas, maybe a striker ? In the meantime we are going to miss out on targets as a consequence. I approached this summer pretty confident that Pards could/would sort it out especially considering his 'we'll steal a march on other teams' scenario. However, I am now beginning to worry a bit that we might get left behind due to a lack of available cash. I am being too pessimistic ? Am I worrying unduly ? I mean, I wouldn't mind if we were actually being linked with anyone ......

Sam, Shelvey, Wright, Basey.
If they are up the top with these four the club will be very wealthy in a years time.
:D
agreed !! Shelvey is a prospect but only that. We can't rely on him to play week-in week-out next season and can't heap too much expectations on his very young shoulders. Sam hasn't really impressed so far and I really don't see what all the fuss is about. Wright, in my opinion having watched him in the ressies, isn't up to it in our division. Basey hasn't the pace to play wide left but I agree he is a decent player. With that midfield quartet though I'm afraid we'd be doomed.
They are coming
Pards and Co are on the case
As far as transfers are concerned I think it is quiet everywhere. Not many clubs have seen much activity. I still laugh at people when they say we have 'missed' certain players when I doubt Pardew ever went for them. I hope he knows who he wants and will get them but I also agree he will have to shed at least 5 but more than likely 10 more players.
Fags and Kebabs & Larger are the order of the day
Transfer window hasn't officially opened yet. July 1st will herald the start of the goldrush!
Yes it has but a lot of contracts do end on June 30th.
yeah, just like Hudson's did. All this 'the window opens July 1st' is all crap. Look at all the deals already done. Just means that the contracts signed start 1st July.
I think Murray said that combined with those released we would see around another 5 out and 2 or 3 more in. this is ok as long as we lose the less important players and gain a few with a touch of class.
Who are the less important players? Those that disrupt the dressing room and team spirit or those who aren't quite as talented on the field? My view is the former.
is that in addition to McCarthy ??
Without a sackload of spare cash, or paying OTT deals for players, who are we actually missing out on? Hoolahan - yes possibly but perhaps his package price is just too much to swallow when we may have priorities elsewhere. After all we do have one or two wide players already.
Much as I hate to say it, we have to be patient and the clubs resources mean that they are going to have to be very canny.
...so is that one more in then Matt77 - or 2/3 more on top of Hudson and Fleetwood??
I think so yes. I'll only be really upset about Paddy Mc going, if we sell Boughy.
Holland, Shelvey, Waggs,Thomas, Ambrose, ZZ, Semedo, Sam
all are good enough in this league i beleive that if Shelvey performs well he will get more of a run than you think,
look at bostock at the scum last year he came in showed what he could do and stayed in the team, if peter taylor had showed some confidence in him at the start they may have gone straight up
i think we need a tough tackling midfielder however we havent got the money so we will have to make do
give yoof a chance we may all be surprised, we are not there day in day out we dont know what they can face physically
I think when he said it that the Hudson deal was done and the Fleetwood deal was nearly wrapped up. Even 3 players of the right standard will move the team forward in a massive way.
As long as Holland is nowhere near the starting line up I think that would be ok.
Play Semedo just in front of the back 4 with Yoga and Moot2 providing the width.
