Great to see that we are out of the blocks swiftly this close season...
it was reported on here that KR is now on holiday (2 weeks ?) so I don't expect any movement until the start of June, at which point our first choices would have all been signed up by teams who are on the ball & we will be shopping at Lidl's again.
Not sure what happened to the 2 players in the stands watching on the 30th April - perhaps they didnt have a copy of the stadium map & got lost trying to leave.
How many signings are done in May? Even in 2011 we only signed Hollands and Pritchard in May. Most of them signed in June and some later.
Absolutely correct in what you are saying, but the Liverpool Lip raised expectations by suggesting he would have brought in a clutch of players by now.
Any other owner and we could be excited about a sell-on fee. We got around £8mill for lookman by all accounts, added to the fee for Fox and what did we get out of that? Three loans and a couple of average actual signings. Personally would like to see Gomez get a chance at Liverpool once he is properly fit, maybe a loan move next year. From our point of view only RD's bank balance benefits
Jake Forster-Caskey is a very, very good player on his day. Played for England at youth level from U-17 to U-21. Struggled at time with us, admittedly, though when he came back from injury he had what, two or three goals in the run-in. Will end up being a very good signing at this level.

Hope you're right, because in the majority of his performances that I saw, he was ineffective and anonymous. That said, the team as a whole were so bad that it's possibly unfair to single him out.
I see Peterborough have kept up their non league policy signing Ricky Miller and Danny Lloyd who both have had ridiculous seasons last year. I know a fair few signings from non league don't work out but why don't we go for any of these players? Usually fairly cheap ( Lloyd was on a free) and the player is desperate to prove himself. Seems a potential waste of finding a real gem.
Bradley Pritchard | Stuart Fleetwood | Luke Holden | Dorien Smith | Chris Dickson | Scott McGleish | Ruben Bover?
Bradley P - Decent Fleetwood - Flop Holden - Who? Dorien Smith - Was he the tooting guy? Dickson - I liked him, always felt he could have offered more. Scott McGleish - Don't remember much about him (Was 5/6) Ruben Bover - Nice guy, not good enough for us at the time.

There have been some of late, simply rumours of our lot leaving (Tex, Pearce etc) and targets wanted by other teams (Reeves), plus also the Jay O'Shea rumour is back again.
Charlton boss Karl Robinson told the South London Press: “He’s not one of my players but he is one I’ve got a lot of time for and his contract is up in the summer.
“I’m sure next season he’d be a fantastic player for this football club on a free transfer. Once we are legally allowed to speak to him – I don’t know when that is – he would be a good signing.

Thanks for finding that as I was thinking "Didn't Robinson go on about Reeves in January?"

Exactly he is in the Redknapp mould of not talking about other teams players, by always saying how great they are and that we need players "like" them.

Relegation Rog is probably negotiating a new contract?
