I only posted the Nixon thing as he is saying what seems sensible but not saying we aren't trying to do business. Basically without a takeover signings are unlikely but not definitely off the agenda.
One week in and the only talk is about players leaving not joining.
Investment, what investment?
Which ones are you bothered about though? You were continually slating JFC, everyone criticises Mac and earlier today you said you wished "Garner had the guts to dump Stockley like Holden" has.
We've got 3 keepers so Mac isn't needed. JFC barely played and Stockley has done nothing. When one of the main players leave it's more reason to be concerned but not the players who have been linked away.
@cafcfan1990 if you think getting rid of three or four players currently with our injuries makes sense without getting replacements in at the same time or you know what, BEFORE we let players go then in my opinion that is suicide.
The squad was light already.
JFC, Stockley, Mac (played yesterday!), Kirk - despite their limitations will all be needed between now and May to keep us in this division if we don't get replacements.
This is a tried and tested path we've been down before and why blind faith is installed I have no idea.

I think the concern isn’t about offloading fringe players or those out of form. It’s that we’re a paranoid fanbase after the years of chancers, special phones and all the other rubbish. The word on the street was we’d be active in this window. We’ve also heard that this the new takeover lot might be looking to slash costs.
So when you only see exits and no incomings (yes, just a week into the window), mixed with the paranoia from years of terrible ownership, the reaction understandably from some is ‘one week in and no signings, something’s not right’ and ‘investment, what investment?’
We’re a damaged, untrusting bunch. And who could blame us after the years of lies and neglect

The focus should be on players coming in. We need reinforcements.
Seems like we'd rather focus on getting players out the door which points to more cost cutting.
We're 9 points above relegation, we're unlikely to get dragged in to a scrap and unlikely to make the play offs. No rush to bring players in now imo
I'm starting to like the look of our starting 11. We only realistically have 2-3 options on the bench or to make changes through injury, suspension or loss of form. We need a couple of bodies in to improve the squad and reduce the risk of complacency. We can't freshen things up at the moment which is why Lincoln got back into it in the last 15-20 minutes yesterday

"Wait and see"
"It's only X days into the window"
This has been trotted out for the last 3 windows.
We have every right to be sceptical of our owner!

Not surprising in itself, as I guess there were other scouts in attendance as well.

Stranger things happen in football.
