Yes, let's bring in Sessengon, a player with no preseason and fitness issues for our medical department to get fit to be our first choice RB and link up with Hector, Ness and Thomas from last seasons defence.
Hopefully that'll see some major improvements at the back.

Valid points made here, that many fans will not like to read!
Unfortunately I think I agree..dont want to be but it seems much much work to do
You don't have years in league one as any food players you have will want to make the move up. You think if we are still fucking about in league one next season players like Dobbo, CBT, Leaburn are gonna wanna stay?
I’m with curbs get a striker in now…before May gets injured - let’s then get all strikers back for later in the years and give the manager a nightmare of who to leave out we’ve never been in this position why is it always the striker position where we have the bare minimum
He says we’re talking to players and to clubs, trying to bring in players as soon as possible but we have competition for signatures from clubs in the league above.
The danger is that you end up like Spurs in previous summers, where they've tried to bring in top top players (getting all their fans excited), failed and ended up panic buying average ones for too much money.
Can we really compete against Championship clubs, who can surely offer more money?
Very good interview with Andy Scott.. Clearly looking to go toe to toe with championship clubs for the players we want.
And come 11pm on Sept 1st we'll get the usual " just couldn't get xxx over the line".
It's great to be ambitious but I'd rather be realistic & bring in players who want to be here.....not wait for some Billy Big Bollox who's spent 2 months waiting for Leicester or Southampton to sign him.
We wasted a summer with TS chasing Championship quality players. Iirc we signed McGrandles to huge fanfare of "worth £600K, Championship teams wanted him etc and a bunch of last second panic buya to try to make a squad.
Big couple of weeks for this new ownership to try and please an already largely sceptical fan base.
4-5 new recruits are needed, with at least 2-3 of those being needed urgently. Will we get them and go on to have a strong first half of the season, or are we going to mess about and end up like we were under Sandgaard, treading water in mid-table?

Let's hope it doesn't turn into an excuse.
As I've said previously, if you're chasing championship quality players & you're competing with championship clubs for these players don't feign surprise when they sign for the championship clubs. We've been through this charade before with sandgaard.
Bare minimum at this stage is a right back / right wing back and a striker.
It sounds like we're trying to get more than just that through the door, but if the players won't come then those are the two positions I'd expect us to fill in the last couple of days of the window.
If we are waiting for outgoings, how much we gonna raise from that, 2 bob?
Surely more about getting a couple of wages off the book than transfer fees?
Exactly what i meant, we won't get those wages covered, as for transfer fees, that's lala land...
I don't think we will, who is going to pay Kirk 7k a week.
So are the ownership willing to take the hit?
They did their due diligence. They've been around since christmas. They knew the score when they took over. There was a high likelihood that they would struggle to get the unwanted off the books. Due diligence would have told them that.
To make a success of this, they are going to have to take a hit to get where they claim they want this club to be. If they aren't willing to do that, and are hoping to do this on the cheap they they will go down in the same category of our last few owners.
But that's exactly what they (Scott) did. MacGillivray, Lavelle, DJ and Kirk were all shipped out in Jan. The difference is that they managed all that towards the end of the window, it's probably going to be the same now but unfortunately that doesn't help us at all.
Sadly, Scott shipped out the deadwood, signed more rotten deadwood to replace them and subsequently, let most of the original deadwood drift back in again.
Brilliant!
But all deals still had to be agreed by TS as he was the owner no matter what Scott and Gallen wanted
You will ALWAYS defend the club, you give my a*** a headache. You will ALWAYS say the opposite to the majority.
It would have been better if the new owners had only paid Sandgaard say £5m and put the other £5m into the club for transfer fees & wages. Instead they paid him c£10m for a loss making club that he himself only paid c£1.5m.....and now dont have any money to strengthen the team.
The only way they are going to get a return on their money is if we get promoted. This current squad is not good enough for top 6.
And these are guys that are supposedly millionaires who are canny with business decisions.
These have money don’t worry about that … 600,000 for the Exeter lad
Really interesting interview with Andy Scott on Charlton TV. He described the current squad situation as “threadbare given the injuries” and “less than ideal”
After the trollop he came out with in January and the subsequent ins/outs I'd take what he says as rubbish.
He says we’re talking to players and to clubs, trying to bring in players as soon as possible but we have competition for signatures from clubs in the league above.
Players in the championship no less according to AS.

I'm skeptical.
