Yes,we seem to be making pro-active bids for players - If that isn't positive I don't know what is. The point was well made that you aren't seeing lots of deals across the board and activity will inevitably step up. This is the time when players/managers are on holiday so it is later in the month, when they return, that we can expect to see activity.

Absolutely. It's all going to kick off big time soon enough.
With less than 3 weeks until players report for pre-season (June 30th) and the first game just 4 weeks away, it's going to be manic.
What do you know... just logged into twitter and [the hashtag pretty much seals the deal as to who he is joining when Preston get their arse in gear if there was still any doubt]:
McCormack got slayed for having the temerity to go out to dinner at a restaurant classier than a Harvester, so I'm expecting a wave of Hayes-hate on the basis that he's not sitting in a puddle of cold pisswater for his holidays and him to be rebadged McMountGay or something.
Before everyone takes it the wrong way I'm not slating him, just saying I'd love to be earning the money they do to afford holidays to Vegas and Barbados within weeks of each other.

Harsh, McOxo went out on the back of a very poor performance and defeat. Hayes is going on holiday during his time off. Silly point.
McCormack went for a meal with his partner / wife/ girlfriend not sure which after work in a restaurant which is commensurate with his price range and why the effing hell should he not. So he had a bad day at the office like lots of his colleagues. Of course none of us ever have bad days which after we want to do something nice with our loved ones. Now I might not be able to afford The Oxo Tower but that's just my bad luck and circumstances. I don't begrudge Mac his ability to use a restaurant just because I can't. Some people on here want to get a life and stop slating a player for doing something very normal and quite frankly none of their damn business.

I think it was his wife and the occasion was his anniversary. A lot comes down to interpretation of these things - the message it sent to me was something along of the lines of "We lost, so what, I'm off to dinner with the wife", perhaps a lower and more contrite profile after the match would have been a wiser option for him to take especially as he must have realised that plenty of Charlton fans were following him on Twitter. That match was probably the low point of the season (at least for me) - Swindon won one away game all season and lost their next few games on their way to relegation and of course the day after the Swindon match Parky got his P45. As our new owners were in the stands you'd also think that McCormack and the team would be busy trying to impress his new employers. I wonder what Slater and Jimenez thought of his tweet - if they ever got to hear of it?

Agree with this, some of ours fans aren't prepared to even give McCormack a chance. Yes, his is a very limited player, but he was signed with limited resources (same goes to Francis). The players he competes with for a place in the team with (ie. Racon and Semedo) were signed for a team expected to gain promotion to the premiership, so if anyone is underperforming it is those two.

I'm not too overly concerned that we have only signed 1 player who is likely to start next season (Hollands).............
........but I will be if we are still in this position in 2-3 weeks time !!!!
