    I bet the Ipswich recruitment guy got a pay rise when they sold us Fraser. Getting shot of him will take some doing IMHO 
    Everyone we've signed from Ipswich lately has been horrendous.  We have to go back to Holland and Hreidarsson for anything decent from there.

    The fact is we are a League One club and that some of the players we are hopefully in the market for might be hanging on to see if something better comes along. I do recall Powell doing the bulk of his business early but he was the sort of bloke players wanted to play for which was a big factor. I'm sure Jones is a positive in that respect for us but maybe he hasn't quite got that aura Powell had. Not saying Powell is a better manager, just making a point about recruitment.

    cafc boss Nathan Jones on the mic at moment.

    Happy with the transfer activity up to this point. Four deals done and has added that he thinks that is about to become five

    He wouldn’t say who it was but pretty obvious from the hint he gave….

    I'd assume a keeper and not Ahadme.

    I think it was "Our transfer business has been MESSI up until now"

    Weird thought of the day, well last 5 minutes as it is me, good way to announce a signing.....have players saying which fixture they are looking forward to and why, sneak in a new player and wait for the attentive to notice.  Would help publicise the fixtures as well.

    If we keep hold of May then having him and Ahadme with Leaburn and Kanu as the back ups and Chuks the wildcard bench option should be a very decent 5 at this level. I wouldn't even be adverse to Alfie playing in the 10 behind both Leaburn and Ahadme if NJ want's two big guys up top.
    Why would you assume Ahadme is better than Leaburn?

    I would assume that this is/was the original plan given comments that we were looking at one striker if May stays and two if he goes.

    The only question comes in with the injury records of both Leaburn and Chuks as we could go from 5 strikers to 3 very quickly and none of the academy prospects that I am aware of really fit the "big guy" status particularly well.

    whatever strikers we have we still need the midfield players to be able to supply them with chances, who do we have at present?

    Not assuming that, just likely that Leaburn won't be fit for the start of the season and will likely need a while to build up his minutes. Then it will come down to form and fitness each week.

    Adam Davies played for Wales in a couple of recent friendlies so could a hold up be due to a holiday, if he is the keeper.

    I’m hearing they’re very close, can someone shift up a bit.

    Berry is going to be leant on a lot for that, as will the wingbacks. I'd imagine another creative midfielder is in the plans

    I hear that it's down to a fag papers distance with one and you cannot get a big arsed women between the next one!
    Exciting times indeed.

    Be interested to hear what the management team consider the quality of the current squad to be, measured by the 8-8-8 benchmark they devised.
    888 was just a load of crap. As it stands tonight we are still woefully short imo.Even Jones said he'd like to get the majority of the signings done by Thursday. I'm sure even the more optimistic of yous out there thought we'd be further forward than we are currently. Thursday will be fun - Jones having to have loads of players around him that he doesn't want. I wonder how that will go. Do we have enough table tennis tables ?
    Most fans probably thought Jones was living in a dream world if he seriously thought he'd have all his signings done by the end of June because certain things required to achieve that wouldn't always be in his control.

    For example we might want to sign a player but his club won't accept an offer until they've signed a replacement. We might be after 1-2 loans but some clubs generally wait to make a decision after they've returned to training and played a few pre-season games. 

    It's all well and good him saying what he did, and i don't doubt he would've liked to have more in the door by now, but it's not necessarily down to us that we haven't.
    The Euros/copa America will delay things too, not because we are signing players playing in either, but transfer activity often filters down the leagues in a bit of a chain/knock on effect
