    @Dazzler21 Is there an update on the ITK chart . There have been some interesting developments over the past few days .
    I heard a rumour Daz was updating it but I'm waiting for it to be on the OS.
    I can assure both of you, I've kind of given up we get like 5/6 new pages and actually there appears to be no actual rumours. I'm quite busy at the mo so simply don't have the time to be wading through.

    Certainly nothing from credible sources 
    Very sensible mate. Have a break nothing happening yet.
  • The next two weeks could be crucial.
    Why window don’t shut till sept 
    Putting the team together in September worked a treat this season didn't it........

    Does he tthink he's alone now?
  • I’m fairly certain that all our targets both first and second and possibly third are all looking at the options available to them. Their agents won’t be in any rush for them to sign. They’ll all be doing exactly what Chuks is currently doing. 
  • I guess the euro's will have an impact as well - not directly but indirectly with the trickle down effect

    People now fixating upon the magical 9th June, that date means absolutely sod all in us announcing signings
    I honestly don't believe there would be a mass unveiling without it leaking. 

    If there is a mass unveiling there will be plenty of leaking on here in the aftermath.

    Who are our first 3 targets ?
    Mullins, Purse and Mullins again.

  • I don't expect TS to get his wallet out until the January window  .
  • One ex player who will not be returning is Rob Elliot .

    He has signed a two year deal with Watford . Clearly happy to be a third choice keeper in the Prem .

    But it worked okay in 18/19. Priority #1 is getting the right players. If you have to wait for them, that is preferable to signing lower quality players early, imo. The difference in 18/19 was we were choosing to wait for players like Cullen and Bielik who had been lined up much earlier in the summer. Last year we were forced to wait by the embargo and ended up having to rush into signing what was still available, rather than players we had identified much earlier but just weren't definitely available until late on.

    Don’t think we will need to spend much on fees as so many good players out of contract. Just need to compete on wages.

    Not quite sure that's true, Gunter and Watson were identified a long time before they signed.

    But we didn't need 15ish players in 18/19.

    Assuming the squad will be the same size as last year

    5 loans have gone back
    5 players have been released
    5 players have yet to sign the contracts we have offered.

    In 18/19 we signed Taylor in later June and IIRC Pratley signed days before the season started and that was that for permanent signings.  I don't actually think we would have signed both Beilek and Cullen if JFC hadn't got injured.

    We need at least 8 or 9 players signed, or resigned, before the preseason friendly period starts.  Else come November there will be people saying its OK we are 15th they just need time to gel.

    N.B i don't think we will be 15tu in November but was making a point. 
  • Now we’re talking.  If we haven’t made an offer to re-sign him, this is the sort of pragmatic action (or in-action) we need.  Obviously can’t read too much into this, but if we haven’t offered him a contract, I’d be pleased 
  • Maybe he’s turned down our contract offer?

    Not the sort of behaviour I would like from our Club to be honest.
    F#&@ me he must be wrong if we both agree!! 
  • Maybe the medical diagnosis is worse than feared. Who knows. He has worked so hard to come back from injuries and I hope he does so again.
  • I really hope we haven't taken advantage of his injury situation and offered him a measly contract with the knowledge he'll struggle to sign elsewhere
