Pete Finch @peterfinch46 58m58 minutes ago Is he actually looking at anyone or have we got more loans and 2nd rate imports?
Richard Cawley @RichCawleySLP 58m58 minutes ago More To be fair they haven't brought in overseas signings last season or this one - so far. At least two that chipping away at getting done.

Which doesn't fill me with hope seeing as we need around 5 or 6 new players, mainly being a goalkeeper, a left back, 2/3 decent midfielders & a goalscorer that will get us out of the godforsaken league.
We need a minimum of 6 new players if we are serious about challenging for promotion. So far we have Billy Clarke. The clock is ticking Katie, pre season is almost upon us. DO SOMETHING
When Karl was asked if he knew the problem, and what needed to be done, he smiled and said 'oh yes', twice, like the Churchill dog.
We supposedly wanted things sorted before he went away, a full set up in time for Ireland, fresh and hopeful. We were to come back early, have a cold shower and hit the ground running.
It is great to have dreams, even if you're a football manager.
What I think Slade and Karl have in common, along with maybe the other managers too, is that they half believed, and were half persuaded that they would get supported in what they wanted, assurances and reassurances and all.
The problem you have when the prospects seem enticing, is you fail to hear the verbal small print as it were.
Stuff gets couched and diluted. Lookman money equals training ground, being patient means no credible midfield, financial support means not paying juicy transfer fees when there is a Roger Johnson style alternative.
There was talk about a year ago during the Wilder shenanigans that the manager should blimmin well 'get it in writing'!
To me it still seems to hold true. For all Rolands financial power play and fast jets to Belgium, for all Katriens surface charm, the manager is kicked out of the fast jet and told to get by on his Oyster card, and the surface charm turns out to be applied by a skilled make up artist to hide the carbuncles.

Can't see why his nose is being turned up if the reported 350k fee is true.
You've got to think something else is at play here if we're not serious about matching Oxford's bid.
So far we have Billy Clarke.
