Maybe I'm about to be whooshed here, but surprised more hasn't been made of these 2 pictures on this thread. I'd say it's very likely Mckirdy is on his way. Am I missing something??

Looks like he is signifying the letter E to me. Probably some sort of spoofing game
It seems like the rumours are becoming less and less now which may mean more is being done behind closed doors we just don’t know about, but it would also seem to imply the majority of the action will happen at the end of the window.
I really don’t see how that is any different to last year if that’s the case. The only difference being who we may bring in. However, as with most of our deadline day action in recent years, it’s not been very inspiring

Not sure how the majority of the action will happen towards the end of the window, when we got 6 players in before the season started, and the likelihood is we will be bringing in 3, maybe 4 more max I expect.
Wonder how many more clubs across the football league will be doing similar?

No not really, it's how every single deal so far has happened.
As with all transfer windows the proof of wheather they have been good or bad will be shown in the results.
I think having a decent clear out was a good thing apart from Washington who I would have kept.
As for the players we have brought in they appear to be better than those who have left.
My main concern is that as things stand we are not good enough for promotion. So any further signings will have to be very good.
A good point - I would have kept Washington and Purrington myself. Both areas where we are now hunting for a replacement when the season has already started.

I do not get the impression we are "hunting for a forward now Leaburn has turned pro, TS has always said a blend of youth and experience and with his goals in the friendlies and a goal on his debut I suspect he is happy with what we have now.
I spoke to McKirdy this morning when I saw him buying pomegranate seeds in Lidl, Swindon.
He explained that due to the recent hot temperatures, he is having air conditioning installed in his luxury apartment overlooking Swindon harbour, hence the 'A' 'C'.

Depends what type of forward you mean. Centre forward then yes it's highly unlikely we're desperately looking. But there is pretty much confirmed interest from us in Rak-Sakyi so we obviously are hunting for forwards who can play wide.

You may be right - but I think it's likely that if we go through the whole season with only Aneke, Stockley and Leaburn as our 3 strikers, at one point the two senior players will inevitably be out for a few weeks at the same time, at which point we will have to rely on Leaburn alone - I think the kid's a great promise but I fear that would be a tall ask for a striker even of his stature.
If we spend a month or more of the season in that situation I think that could condemn our chances of play offs or promotion

There’s been an obvious difference in that we’ve signed players to fit a style and with more coming in earlier than last year.
I expect our final few signings to be players that improve us, unlike Arter, Souare and Henderson.
Whether it’ll be enough for a genuine promotion challenge is the question, we will have a good idea of that over the next two months.

Sorry, didn’t express myself clearly. I meant the majority of what we bring in now, not overall. I think we have made some useful additions so far, but I think we still need better. If we get the remaining 2 or 3 on deadline day, we run the risk of repeating what we did last season.
I’m hopeful we will get better than Lee, Leko and Arter, but we want players in as early as possible to avoid the scramble.
One question is whether we are in a better points position on deadline day. It’s a pretty low bar given we had four from five games last year (and lost the next two), but if we had ten or more from six then the later signings have a chance.

It also depends how fit the new signings are as well. Last season only Lavelle had kicked a ball in anger and it showed. Doing preseason in league games, in September, is never a good idea.

We should be signing one of McKirdy, McCormick or Izale McLeod.
Why is Stockton messing us around?
And the LB cover ......... why wait for transfer deadline day to re-sign Ben Purrington?

The business so far has been alright so far, couple more it'll be even better.
