Antony Evans from Bristol Rovers is one we are keen on

Good start. Exactly the type of player we should be going for. Young & Hungry with that experience in a prem academyCovered_End_Lad said:Antony Evans from Bristol Rovers is one we are keen on2 -
I've always thought he was a real talent since I saw his goals reel two minutes ago. (Seriously though, looks a bit of a free-kick expert)Covered_End_Lad said:Antony Evans from Bristol Rovers is one we are keen on7 -
Oh sputter, mutter, everybody go and kill their motherScoham said:Pretty much halfway through June without any signings. We can officially hit the panic button.
Imagine the reaction if our first signing is announced in July and it’s Elliot Lee.

You know we DONT have to take up quota of 5 loans don't you. We could, heaven forbid, just sign players as per (on a free even) and have OUR players playing for us, rather than Chelsea's. That also means we wont be forever having to sign players on a yearly basis.Oggy Red said:

Did you not learn anything from last year ?
Although the way the loan system works out, we're likely to have to wait for most of our loan signings until August/just before the window slams shut.
Same as every club at our level.
Why dont WE take the initiative rather than pandering to the "big" clubs and end up scrabbling around on deadline day.1 -
Well yes we COULD do that. Certainly it's possible. I'm not convinced that having about a dozen senior players and hoping that our academy suddenly produces a Golden Generation is actually a GOOD idea, but it's possible.golfaddick said:

I like that idea, but I think the reality is that they see where they end up with their targets and then use the loan market to plug the gaps.golfaddick said:

If we did sign Louis Reed he wouldn’t be on the bench, someone would be making way for him I imagineI wonder if we will be back in for Tom Lowery now that Blackpool have a new manager0

Most managers do bring players in from their former clubs. Curbs brought Gatting, Nelson and later on Robinson from Brighton for example. After all, they'll be far more aware of the "hidden gems" there.
The Cowleys signed Harry Toffolo for Lincoln in L2, then brought him to Huddersfield where he's thrived in the Championship under the next manager.1 -
Well I am getting a de jacket Vue feeling, is this the summer of 2020 all over again.
So when will the club make its first signing of a new permanent player and how many will be signed by the time of the jolly to Spain for TS.2 -
why would that make any difference??Braziliance said:If we did sign Louis Reed he wouldn’t be on the bench, someone would be making way for him I imagineI wonder if we will be back in for Tom Lowery now that Blackpool have a new manager0 -
Because I think it was Critchley who was pursuing Kirk and Lowery. With him out of the frame the new manager may have other ideasLargeAddick said:

Plays for Crewe0

Anthony Evans is exactly the type of player we should be looking at , still young enough to develop, in form at the end of last season, goal scoring midfielder, out contract and available on a free and a good character by all accounts, what’s not to like 👍13
-
Any other free agents knocking about that look worthwhile? Maybe someone like O'Brien from Portsmouth, or Odubajo from QPR? Both probably not on our radar (one ex Scum, the other on a fair wedge) but I feel that's the calibre of free agent we need to aim for, high League 1/Lower Championship0

To be fair, we spent £500k each on a striker from the Championship who scored a lot for us on loan, the best chance creator in the league the previous season and the apparent god of central midfielders that this forum had been praying for for 18 months. The pedigree of the players that we spent on was good, it's just the overall balance wasn't quite rightcarly burn said:
I think we'll get money. Just not the sort of money to buy some decent pedigree for getting out of this shit pit league.Redrobo said:

In all honesty,this late in the day, it's going to take some serious wedge to put a squad together that will challenge imo.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:killerandflash said:A bit concerning JUST how thin the squad is now. All the talk about how we've got a core of players to work with, but in reality we're really weak in several areas, especially with NONE of the out of contract players being re-signed, and Gilbey seemingly out of favour.
Squad is paper thin. 2 key players in Inniss and Aneke will unlikely feature in a consistent run of 10 plus games based on prior evidence so wouldn't like to rely on them.
Need to do some proper business next couple of weeks and bed them in with a decent pre season to have a chance of challenging I reckon.
I know there hasn't been many signings yet but negotiations have probably been going on for many many weeks. Garner has just put his list in.
Will Tommy stump up? Doubtful.

A real failing of last season was that none of the loan signings were very successful, and potential signings. The likes of Stockley and Purrington came on loan to us first, before we signed them permanently, whereas the likes of Famewo, Cullen and Da Silva had second loan spells the next season0
-
Realistically I don't actually expect promotion this season. Hope - yes, expect - no.
With that in mind and assuming that Gardner and Sandgaard are similarly inclined I'm not necessarily expecting the squad at the end of this window to be a finished article. I'd be very surprised if there were not a few gaps, some of them probably very obvious and maybe some less so.
But if Garner really is appointed as someone to start a project rather than (just) deliver instant results I hope we will be able to see what that idea will eventually be even if we're not quite there yet.1 -

Antony Evans would be a very interesting move. Came through Everton's academy with a couple of EFL loans thrown in , then a weird spell in Germany with Paderborn before coming back to England with Bristol Rovers last season. Fits the right kind of profile but wonder if there might be higher division interest in him.
Speaking of Bristol Rovers - I'd throw one of their loanees from last season into the mix in Elliott Anderson of Newcastle as maybe someone to take a look at , another creative goalscoring midfielder who I've seen linked quite heavily with Sheffield Wednesday.2 -
Last seasons summer signings, including those who signed new contracts (with Done Deal dates). Apologies for missing off Ben Watson, his was an extension clause triggered I think. Almost a year to the day since Stockley!

It sums up why we should do our business earlier this year.
Five of our late signings last season were as you have posted
Lee
Leco
Arter
Souare
Henderson.
That's the sort of players you are left with come the end of the window.
Let's not leave it that late this season.10 -
And Matthews was a resigning after releasing him and JFC signed but we knew he would miss at least half the season 😂blackpool72 said:

it was a pathetic effort last year all round, and we spent a bit on fees with Lavelle, Kirk and Stockley1 -
