Everyone please chill out. We will sign 4-5 more players without a doubt. 2-3 will be loans and they almost always happen right at the end of the window due to Prem clubs announcing their squads and the filter down effect that has.
Plenty of work is happening in the background with a couple of deals very close. Those at the club are well aware that we are short, but also aware that it is better to wait a few weeks and get the right players rather than just signing what is available right now to appease fans and bolster numbers.
We will have a very competitive squad come end of the window, of that I can promise. Whether it is good enough to finish top 2 rather than top 6 will be up for debate. Wigan and Ipswich are spending a LOT of money and I’m glad we aren’t doing that.
P.s whoever said we missed out on Fraser bye £300 p/w is missing a zero off the end, he is another player on more than £10k at Ipswich.
You say a couple of deals are close i take it there is something new you have heard about as last i saw you post it was just the winger you mentioned was close that we have been after for a while
any more juicy teasers who the other close one is ...
The partnership in dubai and is being set up by Robbo like it was announced. Quite awhile ago I was told that we where in discussions with new proposed partners roughly the same time the barclay rumor came back to life I never took a lot of notice at the time it since has grown in credibility but the rumour now it has collapsed and the partner has walked.

Only 4-5 would mean something like LB, CB, CM, W, ST
I’d like to think it’ll be a few more to give us proper depth across the midfield.
I agree. Personally think we need: - Left back as good as or better than Purrington - Centre back who can step in for Inniss as he won’t be able to play every game this season - Two central midfielders better than Gilbey and Morgan - Two wingers so we aren’t relying on DJ the whole time - Striker to replace Aneke
This, and a gk if AMB is loaned out.
Yes, 100%. AMB will be loaned out, gains nothing as a number 2 again all season. Needs to be playing now.
Both have the potential to be good but were far too inconsistent.
Players always get better when they’re gone.
I said we’re behind where we were last season, not that they were world beaters… but
who in our squad right now doc we have that’s better than them? We don’t! So we’re behind where we finished in May 👍🏼
We most certainly aren’t behind where we was last season. Our starting line up for Crewe away is currently worse than our strongest first 11 as of today.
But not when we ended the season. Even back to your selective point view we had Alfie who’s better than any member of the current squad.
AMB needs to be loaned out. It'll be interesting what we do with our younger keepers as we seem to have a lot of them. GK is one position where you can bring in emergency loans anyway, with the likes of Lumley and Bursik playing for several L1 clubs last season

Really wont be surprised if Harness acts as No.2 this season - With three appearances in the EFL Trophy
He's certainly no stranger to the bench... The only down side is you're relying heavily on MacGillivray staying fit, as he showed with his mistake for the Dartford goal yesterday, he's not ready for League Football.
And I certainly hope we dont send Maynard-Brewer to a Conference team (so we can recall if Mac gets injured), think he needs to have a Bury or York style loan in League Two that we saw Nick Pope benefiting from

Same can be said for pretty much every position except right back where we have cover.

Going to jinx it here, but with most keepers you can rely on them staying fit... e.g. Nearly all other positions will no doubt get rotated just to give others a rest, that dont happen with the Goalkeeper

Agreed, my point was mainly on the lack of depth across the whole first 11

we will get a shirt sponsor
we Will get a new kit before the season starts
we Will get extra investment, if Thomas chooses that’s what he wants
We will get info as and when the club choose to release it
we will eventually stop sniping at each other when we get promoted,,, maybe?
C’mon guys this forum is so doom and gloom and full of back biting, after the last couple of years do we need to be doing this?!!
it will all pan out, let’s wait and see.
Ok rant over!!😂🤞👍
