Ipswich have signed Wes Burns from Fleetwood and Lee Evans from Wigan.
Wigan have signed Jack Whatmough from Portsmouth.
Movement beginning to happen around us.
I think Ipswich are going to be a real problem next season! We need to get moving if our rivals are.
BTW Gallen is 100% still around I speak to somebody who knows SG and he’s busy working on deals but been on his holibobs until this week.
One of two times we can sign players and he goes on holidays.
I mean he obviously does sod between September and January, works a month then has the next 4 off. Maybe we should give him a part time salary as well............
Good idea! But only if he scores 15 goals, mostly from the bench.
No real surprise that all and sundry wants Stockley after his show for us, thing is I think he stated at the end of the season that he would love to sign permanent for us, now, if we could just get our fingers out of our arses and actually do some business before all our targets get lured away, great

Given that we haven't missed out on a single confirmed target yet I really wouldn't panic. Speculation only so far.

Given there hasn't been a single confirmed target that's not very impressive.
What is curious, more than worrying, is none of the out of contract players have signed, or at least been announced. If they all don't we will have a much longer shopping list.

Not to mention I'd wonder if we've missed out because we're offering shite wages or whether because we're trying to chase bigger targets - e.g. Jack Whatmough would have been a good option for us but who'd be complaining in Virgil Van Dijk signed instead, exaggerated example I know but hope people get my point.

Good job we got in first ..... deal agreed
Agreed or done?
Its a massive difference, until its 100% done its not done. Jensen to Ipswich, Keane to Blackburn and countless others were "agreed".

Understand a slightly exaggerated example and I do get your point, my point is though, nothing is happening is it, are we trying to overstep the mark in signings, I doubt it, but we seem on the face of it to be just sitting on our hands, at least that is my impression for what it is worth. All the contract offers have so far come to nothing, Chuks still seems to be aiming high, It is probably frustration, and maybe I just need another beer and chill, but it ain't easy

I would be shocked if we had offered Whatmough anything. It would be a massive risk having him and Inniss.
Add in I don't think he is "that good" either. Did Pompey offer him a new deal? I am sure he wasn't on a fortune.

The first few signings could be very telling as to what we can expect this window... We're either going to be very underwhelmed or whelmed, cant see any middle ground with us lot
Think Ruben is Ruben Sammut, ex Chelsea academy lad who didn’t make it and was doing some part time scouting for us last year I believe (and academy scouting for Chelsea) whilst playing for Dulwich Hamlet. Sounds like he might be more involved now.
Unusual for AFKA to share gossip on the main site instead of the clique jinbox thread.

Not seen anything to suggest that.
Club has stated that players have been offered deals.
Adkins has said repeatedly that they are working hard and that he's not taking a holiday.
Lack of observable activity does not mean they are "sitting on our hands".
There's been less than a dozen deals done over the entirety of League One so far, Sandgaard has shown himself to be a pretty savvy and professional businessman in the work he's done so far. Lack of OBSERVABLE activity dies not equal actual lack of activity. Once Adkins was picked as the first choice of manager things were done pretty quickly and efficiently.
If we get to the end of this month with absolutely nothing happened at all,then maybe it's time to start worrying, but certainly not yet l think.

Yes but your forgetting about the significant minority that expected all 25 senior players to be released and 20 "championship class" being signed by the 1st of June, all on perms.

Wasn't Bishop just an idea rather than an actual link?
Just heard we have shown interest, what ever that actually means. I would guess we probably have about 10 left backs on lists somewhere?

We're only a couple of hours up the road from the South Coast
