Golfie, do you live under a rock?golfaddick said:
You're right it doesn't. But if you are wanting to get out of this division a good start is preferable. That means having the bulk of the squad fit & ready by Aug 6th as well as having them all knowing how they are supposed to set up & how the manager wants them to play.RonnieMoore said:
On the other hand, if you are happy to just jog along as you are & bring players in on deadline day then crack on.
I know which camp I'd rather be in.
It's not the way it works. You've been around long enough to know that clubs like ours have to wait until the big boys name their squads and players are made available for loan. And we will wait, hoping that we can pick up quality young loan players before the window shuts .
It's what we and other clubs like us have done for several years now.
This season no doubt won't be any different.

I see Chris Maguire has announced his departure from Sunderland. Wasn't he rumoured last week?0

I'm not talking about loans. I know 3 or 4 will come in towards the end of August. But that is 6 weeks away & 4 games into the new season.Oggy Red said:

We lost around a dozen players in June. As at the start of pre-season training we had just 12 first team players.
TWELVE.
I don't really care if you think the current situation is just peachy. I don't. And unless something seriously changes & we unveil 3 or 4 top signings in the next 2 weeks then I say here & now that we will be just like last season - huff & puff to stay in touch with the top 6 & fall at the last hurdle.

Fair play to @golfaddick - we are desperately short of players and quality.
We are allowed to be concerned!22 -

I don't necessarily disagree with you in terms of needing to get bodies in, but looking at league transfers and squad players, which six teams do you think will beat us to those places? I haven't been overly in-tune with transfers but it's my understanding the likes of Sunderland, Pompey & Wednesday were all facing similar problems.golfaddick said:

I don’t know why we’d need to be concerned. I fully believe TS wants the best for this club. We will be fine.18

Jacob Roddy has signed with U18s from Bradfield College after being released by Southampton two years ago.No idea if he’s a relation to Ged… I would guess so?1
-
I think recruitment has been a lot lot harder than we thought it was going to be. Still think we’ll be ok but no joke intended here but the next two weeks are actually crucial.1

319? Didn't we spend £400k on Jaiyesimi in January? And Stockley wasn't a free either.15

I think you'll find we paid money for Stockley.NapaAddick said:CAFC net transfer spend since TS' arrival..... -£1.833MDays since last incoming where £1 (or more) was spent on a player..... 3191 -
We paid less than a quid for Stockley? Arise Sir Steve!NapaAddick said:CAFC net transfer spend since TS' arrival..... -£1.833MDays since last incoming where £1 (or more) was spent on a player..... 3192 -

What about Stockley paid a fee there1

Hey guys, did we pay a fee for Stockley do you know?12

They are working on signings as we speak - if u view the majority of pre season as being about getting fit then you would assume all our targets will be training with a team so i don't think its a big problem at the moment and i would definitely sooner hold out for what is needed. The only time to really judge will be when the window shuts - signings have been solid so far.13

Not a pessimist but I think I’ll resist using that phrase for a little bit longer.0 -

Don't forget Ronnie the rocket, the minister of not getting a game. He wasn't free either.
