Oh god please let us not lose to Sheffield Wednesday next Saturday. The justified celebrants of doom (band name copyright:me) will be something to behold.0

Without a LB in the Wiggins mould, I’m not sure playing Washington regularly at LW is a great idea. Would put pressure on Morgan and DJ to create, as not much will come from the left side.Charlton43 said:If we could get one more in before next Saturday, someone who can play across the front three, that would be spot on. However, Washington has looked very sharp the whole pre season and has solidified that position on LW.0 -

He made up a rumour about a player that doesn’t even exist last week.DOUCHER said:
Wouldn't be a bad idea - ronnie is very optimistic and has a high rumour rate no doubt about it but part of me thinks he's getting a bit of a rough deal here coz some of the usual heavyweight bores have decided he's a troll - lets see the charge sheet !!Cafc43v3r said:

100% nailed on WUM .0 -
Okay so as my posts last week and earlier this week indicate I’m very much positive about the season coming and back the transfer activity so far and think things are good.
But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think there would be another in by the end of this week, not sure what to make of that but let’s see what next week brings.5 -
I was expecting a new signing before tomorrows game but that's now probably a no goer. Hopefully there's a couple lined up for Monday-Tuesday next week that can then come in next Saturday for the opening game.0

With so many clubs waiting to make their moves it’ll be interesting to see what players have mystery injuries before the opening games of the season.2

@DOUCHER Recent charge sheet (among others less egregious postings for example throwing names out in a wishlist style and/or stating we were never interested in players who end up signing somewhere else)
- Plymouth have rejected two substantial bids for a striker (Randell?)
- Josh Sims was offered a chance to train with the squad but we didn't want to sign him (?)
- Wrexham are paying Paul Mullin 9k/week.
- two players (winger & striker) set to sign "in conjunction with kit release"

RonnieMoore said:Plymouth have turned down an other from fellow league one side Charlton Athletic for young striker Luke Jephcott fee believed to be 600,000 . Jephcott recently signed a new deal with the club
Was sent this by my nephew who lives near Plymouth it is a week old now ….

I would love to say I was looking forward to a new unveiling at Fulham tomorrow of a good big(ish) signing, but, unfortunately if not tomorrow, we are down to our starting 11 v The Wendies, however we live in hope, and we all know it's the hope that kills you.

Our starting 11 will be a good way to start the match. I'd be concerned if we didn't play our starting 11.4

And I'm still not convinced that Ronnie Moore isnt the same person as Addick59. If they are not then they live under the same bridge.

Now you can spin that as "we're being sensible and not being held to ransom, we'll go back nearer the end of the window and get a lower price"
Or
"we're being unrealistic and TS is too tight/skint to spend what's needed to get promotion"

A world of fantasy, why do you do it?
It's very sad.

See, this is very logical and (in my mind) backs up my theory. If we'd been after x,y or z then we would have got them. We weren't....so we didnt. Not saying there isn't a player we are still hoping to do a deal for (Kirk maybe) but TS is not going to push the boat out, despite what he has said over the past 10 months. If the selling club relents at the 11th hour, then great. If not its onto the loan market.Cafc43v3r said:
This is spot on, we have missed out on ONE first choice player to a league 1 club. One we really wanted.

NA will have a way of playing, a structure. We will therefore buy/loan players who fit into that system. SG will know each player of their strengths and weaknesses, and whether or not they fit into NA's system.
All of the players listed on the previous 500 pages...some we all think are good, some are bad. Either way, it doesn't necessarily mean they will be very good/bad for us.
SG, I would be tasked to find players to suit a way of playing. SG to find the players that fit the system, not find the system once you have recruited a random set of 'good players'.
If we just 'scatter gun' and bring in quantity, and not quality, this is when you can start accumulating "deadwood" on expensive contracts. All of which, is a waste of money, and isn't sustainable.
Within 48 hours of knowing we missed out on our 1st choice keeper we moved and got our second choice. We got our first choice center back in, and had to be imaginative to do so. We got our 1st choice center forward, despite some, if not all, of the other big clubs wanting him.
Well, that's my theory anyway and stacks up because we really haven't been linked with anyone, despite needing a big overhaul of the squad. No leaks from the club....no snippets from those ITK. Even Peter O'Rouke and Alan Nixon have been rather quiet.2 -

How soon before we signed Famewo, Clare and Dobson were we linked with them in the media (not counting fans speculating about Famewo)? I’m sure it was either hours or a few days at most. Only Stockley and CM were linked weeks before we signed them.golfaddick said:

I suggested a few weeks ago that the new regime and management weren't as cosy with the media as previous ones specifically in relation to our targets. There were a number of reasons why the former outfit wanted us to believe that we were after x, y and z even though we were never in the hunt for them and as many reasons why the new one does not want such information leaked until the deal is more or less done.Scoham said:

We desperately need an attacking left back to provide width down the left hand side, if we are going to play Washington as a left sided attacker, as he's not a winger. His natural game is cut inside onto his right foot, and needs an overlapping full back to create some space for him

There might be truth in that but we’re not even seeing much speculation coming out from other clubs, e.g. SLP equivalent for the clubs we’re making offers to, or agents via Peter O’Rourke. You’d think that would be out of our control.Addick Addict said:

Looking forward to you posting the links to the reports about the 2 strikers we made substantial bid for. I'll probably be waiting a while.9 -
We shouldn't be going into the start of a new season without a LB or an another winger. We needed cover for Purrington before he got injured......its now twice as important. Also, relying on Washington to play "wide" or trying to use Claydon as the other winger is just asking for trouble imo.killerandflash said:We desperately need an attacking left back to provide width down the left hand side, if we are going to play Washington as a left sided attacker, as he's not a winger. His natural game is cut inside onto his right foot, and needs an overlapping full back to create some space for him
I will be giving my full verdict/opinion on the squad next Friday in the match preview thread. Hoping by then we would have at least filled 1 of these issues.7
