Skint less than a month in, must be a record for a new ownership 

Skint but have enough money to pay off the manager‘s three year contract is an interesting position.

Unless the club didn’t need to pay the full length of the contract.

Fair play to you for continually backing this regime but you're going to look very stupid if we don't spend anything this week.

I hope you are right though.

RonnieMoore looking very stupid? Don’t be ridiculous.

The 3 leaving is surely 3 from Kirk, DJ, McGrandles and Payne.

And three leaving. 

3 in 3 out leaves us ludicrously short 

From BBC. 

Saudi side Al-Ittihad are also interested in Liverpool's England defender, Joe Gomez, but the Reds have no intention of selling the 26-year-old. (Fabrizio Romano)

This could boost the coffers couldn’t it? Assume we had a sell on ( if not already cashed in)….

I’d I’d go with two centre halves and a target man. 

You’d leave us with Asiimwe as our only right back?

Dabo will sign

Absolutely. Especially if 1 of the 3 is Dabo.

On the assumption that Kirk, Payne and DJ will leave we have:

Keepers - Isted, AMB
LB - Edun
CB - Jones, Hector, Ness, Thomas, Deji
RB - Asiimwe, Dabo 
DM - Dobson, Taylor
CM - Fraser, Anderson, Camara, Mcgrandles
Wingers - CBT, Campbell x 2
Striker - May, Leaburn, Kanu

That's a squad of 22 of which 8 are U21. Nowhere near strong enough.

You could add Thomas to the LB list at a pinch.

And isn’t there interest for McGrandles?
But yes, way too weak. 

Wonder if that's from Cambridge again

Be funny if we sold him to them, and then hired Mark Bonner

So Dabo plus two inexperienced youngsters on loan?  Marvellous, considering the amount of balls spouted that would leave this the most disappointing window for years.  We have signed quality but the squad is like a nursery, with experience dotted throughout.

We need a seasoned striker so “youngster” and “loan” don’t apply. 

So if the rumours thread is anything to go by (from the posters that aren’t attention seekers) we will sign a few players but nothing to raise eyebrows.  

I hope Airman is wrong as if our remaining bit of business really is Dabo plus two more youngsters thrown in to our already too young squad then it is hard to have any optimism even if a quality manager does arrive.

We’re not even getting a new owner bounce then, we are finishing mid table once again it seems.  How do things manage to get more depressing season by season, can’t be arsed, it’s still august ffs.  

Three weeks ago the majority on here were declaring the summer to be a good window but rightly bemoaning the lack of a replacement for the injured Leaburn. At the same time those same people were demanding the exit of DJ, Kirk, Payne and McGrandles. Another forward has been brought in and by all accounts three of the players we wanted out are doing exactly that. The manager has been sacked and we are allegedly bring in three players, two on loan and one permanent. There is angst  on here about bringing youngsters in on loan, with that in mind, does that make previous loanees such as Saki, Maatsen and Millar part of that angst.
My point is why don't we wait till the end of the window or beyond to decide if this season is going to be wasted. 

Why is this Dabo signing being dragged out so much, surely means he's weighing up his options?
