Of course it helps but we aren't miles behind everyone else if you look at the team that beat Hull and Lincoln more than half of the match day squad are here already.Maccn05 said:It does help having a good pre-season though.
You need players in for the trip to bond and and obviously to get familiar on the pitch. One of the major failings was it all happened so late and now looking at the fixture list we have hard first month. Crucial we get signings in the building in the next two weeks.
From my semi-pro days pre-season is HUGE so can only be more so the higher up the pyramid you go.
The team we have now is better than the one that lost to Lincoln and that was 3 or 4 games in.
20 more goals, 20 less conceded 20 more points. Worry not :-)0 -
Aim high and if nothing materialises, bring back BOGLE.
You know you want to see it!!2 -
This is Sandgaard's first real transfer window, no unusual blocks in place.
Shall we try being patient? A lot of players contracts with their current clubs end on 30/06, they may have ongoing negotiations themselves.
I'd like to think we'd try and get all "free" business done before we start splashing on fees.15 -
That's because our next new signing may be only half the player people think he is.LargeAddick said:can't say I'd be impressed with half a player …..
Prepare to be merely ...... whelmed.

It could just be that ambitious players that played League One last year, may fancy a crack at the Championship now - rather than sign for another League One club.Maccn05 said:Looking at the signings so far this week like Ryan Wintle to Cardiff and Jordan Graham to Blues, Randell Williams to Hull and what we could be seeing is the affects of COVID and Brexit.
A summer where hard up Championship club now can't afford to look up the leagues for Prem offcuts and can't grab a EU bargain with the visa rules. So now they are having to look closer to home and pick up the best in the EFL. That heightened competition and wages on offer could be big factor as to why the likes of Chuk's feel they have a better chance of getting a Champ club and is also why we aren't getting the signings we want such as Graham.
Of course it could also be that we aren't offering enough money etc. but who knows. Either way feels like a tough old summer coming up that will see a couple of good signings and a squad flooded with loans again.

I love this thread... said noone ever!
Literally i go in here daily, it proper puts me in a mood pages of absolute nothing. I did used to like the brief summary version at least i wasn't going through lots to get to any actual rumors.
I know i have just added to the rubbish, just felt like sharing how gripping yet unsatisfying this thread is 8 -
Nah we are getting our 1st choice targets first, then we will move on to the second choice ones as and when we have to.Dazzler21 said:This is Sandgaard's first real transfer window, no unusual blocks in place.

We paid a fee for Stockley we wouldn't have for Graham (if he was indeed a 1st choice) and I assume we have now started on the 2nd choice, fee or no fee.1 -
For all those lovers of crap 80's music - Wheres Romeo?Johnnysummers5 said:thewolfboy said:Adam Matthews to Millwall? Surely not! Wonder if we are interested in Romeo? (Gossip from Millwall fan-site.)
I heard Romeo has gone missing.Romeo Romeo where art thou Romeo.

Hope he ends up with the nickname Shockley in a good wayPavoren007 said:I think it is pretty remarkable how little movement there has been throughout the leagues so far this season. People are rightly calling out a move here and there, but appears to me that most professional clubs across the land and in exactly the same boat, or worse, some haven’t even sorted their manager out despite the formers having left at the end of last season.
Strange times, but remain excited by the prospect of signing 4-5 much better quality players to compliment the likes of DJ, Shockley, Inniss, Gilbey, Washington, Morgan etc (small etc…)1 -
Obviously hoping to announce Chuks given his minutes on the pitch.LargeAddick said:can't say I'd be impressed with half a player …..0 - Sponsored links:

If you don't mind I'm going into pre-panic fretting modekidbrookeaddick said:You never know, there may be a few who turn up for training today who are thinking about signing and could sign later today/tomorrow. I'm sure there are lots of players interested in coming to us with adkins and sandgaard at the helm. Let's wait until a week before the season starts before we panic

Not sure it works like that, I’m sure Gallen’s spoken before about working on multiple deals. We know we were after several wingers on deadline day in January but we were never going to get them all.Cafc43v3r said:

Yeah the closer you get, especially when you need 2 in the same position you have to try for 4 and hope you get 2 type thing.Scoham said:

We won't be trying to sign 4 center backs now, we maybe talking to more than 2 but not in the sense we will have the first 2 that get done.1 -
You wait, all this panic mode some are getting themselves into, it will be like London Buses, wait ages for one to come along and then they all turn up... relax lads...and lasses

I regret we will not be signing any serious EPL players.NapaAddick said:I think it is fair to say we have in NO way improved so far this transfer window. At best we have re-signed a couple of people and maybe brought in a couple of marginal people not wanted by their previous clubs. Unless all TS wants is a possible playoff crap-shoot next year (at best), we will need to start doing some serious business with some serious EPL players soon or it's gonna be another season just like the last one. I don't know about you but I am not interested in repeating that again.
We may pick up a couple of EPL youngsters on loan as the window is about to close.2 -
According to Nixon the Graham deal with Birmingham is not as far progressed as suggested and that the player is still talking to other clubs, and that includes us.Scoham said:

The players have almost got a coach each atm with Adkins, Jackson, Euell, Keeper coach, Pearce and Basey? won't be doing Watson any favours if they've drafted a load of youngsters in to boost the numbers - 'Hurry up Ben, the ice bath's nearly melted'0

The problem with aiming high and missing out, is that if you spend too long aiming for them, the lower, easier targets may be taken out by other clubs.
It's a risky business6 -

Are most players contracts finished June 30th and maybe that's why we can't announce some signings?0

NOT a rumour .. a Gills player well worth considering is Kyle Dempsey .. loads of L1 experience, age 25, not a regular scorer but chips in with a few .. a hard working tough nut who would complement Gilbey very well .. we need a LOT more dynamism in midfield3
