If I had £1 every time this is trotted out & subsequently on Sept 1st our squad is half baked & injured then I could buy Alfie May myself !!Yann897 said:
We’re not a million miles away, we want 5 signings I’m guessing 6 with May going , there’s still 2 months to go of the window and over a month until the first game.LargeAddick said:
Don’t think it’s panic but when your manager says on numerous occasions that he wants his squad in place for the start of pre season, maybe just one or two off that, then we are a million miles from that and to boot have now just sold May. I’m not panicking yet but I’m mightily concerned.CafcSCP said:2 weeks into the window and while it’s not the fastest start to a window the level of panic is unbelievable.
Mitchell and Berry look like cracking signings, Edwards and Mannion, could yet turn out to be great.
Nobody wants to see the top scorer go but it’s going to happen.
Move on and hope we get the deals done that we need
We have seen in the last four/five seasons what impact late recruitment can have. We need to hit the ground running and to do that the squad needs pre season to gel and take onboard what NJ wants to do. League One is going to be a lot tougher than it was last year and seemingly a few teams are willing to spend relatively big (Brum, Hudds, Bolton to name three) and we are already starting from a very low base. I trust NJ but I’m not sure I trust the SMT/Owners to back him sufficiently.4 -
May being announced Wednesday1

Wednesday May be an announcement8

3 or 4 in the next few weeks wont be enough I'm.afraid.Elthamaddick said:I’m sure every manager would love all their signings done and dusted before pre season starts. Maybe NJ was a bit naive to actually come out and state it or maybe he actually believed it was possible….we’ll never know. Pretty sure though there’s masses going on behind the scenes to get bodies in (and not just squad players)
the fact now is that pre season has started and the squad isn’t all there, all the posts constantly fucking banging on about Jones stating he wanted all his business done by now are really boring…
I’m confident we’ll see 3/4 first XI starters walk through the door over the next few weeks
As for Nathan Jones' utterings I will say the following -
If he truly believed in what he said then he was either deluded or not backed by the owners (ie, there was no hope of him getting the players he wanted)
Or
He was just saying it to please the fans.

An announcement Maybe Wednesday?0

Heard Wednesday are signing May16

Windows come and windows go and the only constant is our team is weaker at the end of the window than it was at the start.Need players in now for pre season and the start of the season not after 4 games and desperate loans19

Yeah, but then we'll have to replace Leaburn as well, so back to square one.bertpalmer said:
January 25 seems more sensible to me !!!CAFCsayer said:
Looks more like we are further away in negotiations than brum are with May, but we won't let him go without getting someone in, which sounds sensible to meValley11 said:One thing that’s a little concerning is we seem to be waiting for May to be sold before bringing in Ahadme/whoever. Aren’t we suppose to have a decent budget regardless of whatever Birmingham hand over for May?0 -
Fucking hurry up Wednesday!3

Imagine if NJ starts getting tipped for the Wales job!

Adam Davies has signed a new contract at Sheffield United2

Davies won’t be our new GK. Hope we’ve been working on other options.

All Bill Gates' fault I imagine...1 -
I got a message yesterday saying we're in for Joe Lumley from Southampton. I thought it was bull as I thought we were going to sign Davies but maybe it's true. Unreliable source to be honest but thought I'd share.2

Free agent goalkeepers include Rodak, Randolph, Wildsmith and Amos.0

Can’t see him doing so to be second fiddle, maybe we are after Conor Ripley?Calloutyejam85 said:Amos signed for Port Vale today0 - Sponsored links:

Wildsmith or go for Jensen from LincolnI-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:Free agent goalkeepers include Rodak, Randolph, Wildsmith and Amos.2 -
So that’s a no for Davies and Ruddy, Walton looks unlikely. Who’s 4th choice?
Would love Jensen but I can’t see us spending a big fee on a keeper.0 -
I assume his wages would be crazy now but maybe a loan possibility on subsidised wages if he has no chance of making the Burnley team.... Lawrence Vigouroux?0

Our defence of recent years would suggest that this is exactly where we should spend a decent fee tbf.covered_end_junior said:So that’s a no for Davies and Ruddy, Walton looks unlikely. Who’s 4th choice?

Would prospective players be put off seeing us sell League 1’s best striker?6

I wonder what the excuses will be. Cause it can't be money, cause we are loaded.Scoham said:Davies won’t be our new GK. Hope we’ve been working on other options.8 -

Dont worry, give it until January and we'll probably find out.Callumcafc said:
What’s the alternative?DDOUBLEE said:
But we've got to trust Jones...or somethingAthletico Charlton said:Jones says we have been bold and aggressive in this transfer window. Dobson and May gone. A reserve keeper, reserve LB, a CB and a midfielder signed.
Imagine if we were not bold and aggressive!
I hope the window gets better and quick because so far, it is as crap as usual.
We'll probably be in mid-table, we'll start seeing posts on here saying that Jones should go, which'll eventually be echoed from the stands.
He'll get sacked, and then we'll be right back here again in the summer, because failing to back the Manager the last 4-years has worked so well - Rinse and repeat. Wont ever be the fans fault though, even though the actions behind sacking the Manager will be as a result of the fans voting with their feet.
Watch for the first “In Jones we trust” change tune.1 -
Polish Pete ? Apparently has unfinished business in SE7Lewis Coaches said:
When his replace comes in he will be someone who is not on the radar and also no one has mentioned on here.MartinCAFC said:
Isn't this the kind of model that Peterborough do when it comes to strikers? not saying I have faith in the club to replace May with a younger version scoring 20+ goals next season while making a profit and personally think it's madness to sell to a promotion rival but I just hope we don't sell before we have his replacement in first.cafc_se7 said:Fair play to Alfie. Can't dispute his record, but if a young striker with potential comes in then I can kind of understand cashing in. I think some of us are being very short sighted here to be honest.Youngster from Europe or European connections.1 -
