True, however we know what title-winning squad build looks like. Most of the key players in place for Welling, and only Kermorgant added to a well balanced squad after the season had started.Covered End said:
You may well be right and it's looking like that at the moment, but the window doesn't shut until the end of August, so we still have 6 weeks.palarsehater said:they literally cannot help themselves, if hes gone and it frees up money whats the fucking point left it too late to get players in, had high hopes for this season, but think we will scrape playoffs and lose.
I don't really buy the argument that we have until 31 August. The season starts on 5 August, and 12 points are there to be lost before 31 August, as well as our traditional EFL cup bonanza.

Maybe they want to move him on and he's refusing to go .1

Hamer conceded. Andy Hughes, not sure you could describe him as integral to the title winning squad, at least not on the pitch.bobcafc7 said:

And August 1st was before the start ot the season.
Start with 2 draws from the first 4 games and whoever you sign at the last minute is unlikely to put us back in a promotion race we will already have forgone.
But of course, we could all be in for a pleasant surprise in the next couple of weeks. It's just the track record doesn't suggest such a surprise might materialise, as countless others have already said.

In terms of Goalkeeper though we still had the experience Rob Elliott who played four (?) times that season prior to leaving for Newcastle and was thus replaced by Ben Hamer between the sticks, didnt we also have John Sullivan already?PragueAddick said:

Renewed speculation about Ceballos in Belgian press today. Even Het Belang (RD is a columnist for hbvl) says STVV are working busily towards a return on loan.
"In die zin werkt STVV ook naarstig aan een terugkeer van Cristian Ceballos. De Spanjaard keerde na vorig seizoen terug naar Charlton, waar hij nog tot juni 2018 onder contract ligt, maar zou mogelijk op korte termijn opnieuw op Stayen neerstrijken voor een nieuwe uitleenbeurt."

Obviously, everyone would have liked the squad completed by now, but it's a marathon not a sprint and Sheff U were bottom 4 toward the end of August last season and bottom after 4 games.
Not that I think we are looking likely to get automatic promotion.4 -

Ah yes, I remember the smug comments about how Sheffield United were going to fail again, and how we had got the better manager in Slade instead of Wilder...probably made a few myselfCovered End said:

The Ceballos frenzy! It puts me in mind of the Chris Dickson furore.
He played alright in the friendlies - i think there was a rosy tint to some of your streams!1 -

The leeway is non existent, we have to win the first match against Bristol Rovers at home and then at least draw at Plymouth.
I don't even think I am being unreasonable either. Last season we put nine past Bristol Rovers, and Plymouth were a division below us, this is supposed to be a fresh start with successful intent, and Robinson was talking as long ago as February about the re build for the new season.
Bad results early on will be heavily criticised and a demand for immediate improvement from me, not patience...do you see how impatient I'm being?5 -
Squad still undercooked & lacking balance & cover in a few positions. At present it is following the pattern of other seasons. Hope that's changes before the season starts / window closes. Not planning to hold my breath though as that would likely end up with suffocation & death where Duchatelet is concerned & building a balanced squad. We live in hope as ever.3

He has no concept of the principle and Meire has helped scientists discover the greatest depth there can be, in relation to the depth she is out of! And I must say it isn't because she is a woman, so I don't fall foul of the lawvff said:Squad still undercooked & lacking balance & cover in a few positions.

As if anybody wants to play for CharltonEast_Stand_Loopy said:Everybody talks about Reeves being "plan A"..,.
But hasn't Robinson said he only wants people who want to play for Charlton?
Half the fans don't even want to watch us.
Mind you, if we ever do land Reeves I'm sure he'll confirm that we are "massive" and as soon as he heard the Gaffer was interested there was only one club he wanted to join.5 -
We really don't have to win the first of 46 games. I just proved that Sheff U picked up 1 point from their first 4 games, before going on to win the league comfortably . Chill out.seth plum said:

Of course you can bounce back from a poor start, but it's far better if you can get a good start for some early momentum, especially with the way things are at our club right now. You think the team will get all the support they need if they start badly? Fans have seen crap year after year with this lot in charge, and we need to start seeing something to lift us as much as the team need us to lift them.Covered End said:

I think we are not too badly placed with two or three decent signings but don't expect anything based on experience.1

I'm sure we'll at least get the minimum of a GK and LB but we're now 2 and a half weeks away from the season starting. I get we may be waiting on Dasilva but a GK really should have been sorted by now.MuttleyCAFC said:I think we are not too badly placed with two or three decent signings but don't expect anything based on experience.
