    Wigan are going to have a squad of about 90 players and they’ll win the league with 150 points, as they will be so amazing the league will introduce bonus points per game.
    By the sounds of it.
    Wigan and Ipswich both lost large amount of their squads so if may look like they signed a few players but squad wise they are still low on the size they had last season 
    We are in the same boat, but haven't yet really started the rebuild.

    We currently have 12 first team players.
    Yep ...... and you can probably guarantee we'll sign 5 loan players before the end of the window.
    We always do, same as every club in this division.

    So that'll be 17. And we've been told there's more irons in the fire behind the scenes.
    I hate to disappoint, but we are sure to have the numbers in by the the time the window closes.

    And certainly sufficient players in numbers and quality to put out a decent competitive team  for our first game. :smile:

    A good signing but not a particularly ambitious one. Can't see how that fits in with winning the league this season, let alone being in the champions League in five years. That's just the kind of signing we'd have had under RD.
    Obviously there's more to come this window. I hope they're of a higher profile than this.
    It’s about how they fit together as a team. Powell’s signings of players like Matt Taylor and Andy Hughes didn’t scream ambition but played big parts in our title win.

    Anyone know if we will sign another today? Bit of a strange one announcing so early.

    As said my source inside the club is credible…
    Nice one. Appreciate that.

    Every time you post something from now on, you're gonna have 8-9 other people suddenly saying: "That's what I've heard as well."
    And someone repeat it 3 days later.......

    Fair point - his comments on match threads are bad enough, but that comment was - well - bottom of the barrel !!!

    Anybody else heard this Ronnie  has gone.
    Yes he got thrown out of the Clarendon Hotel after a non payment for the room he was staying in. 
    Serious or joke?
    Source?
    @RonnieMoore
    I think it’s @DaveMehmet who still has his certificate showing he contributed to buying Ronnie Moore !!
    I cant remember receiving a certificate, for contributing to buy Ronnie Moore, but a friend said I should be certified.

    If memory serves me right, you had to donate a whole pound to get a certificate 😊
    I threw my £1 into a blanket. Never hot a certificate.  
    I could be wrong but I think there was a minimum donation for the certificate but you could donate anything. Not sure if the minimum was a tenner or a fiver. Does anybody else remember or did I dream it!
    I paid a quid & got a certificate.
    I was robbed.

    Genuinely no idea whatsoever about Dobson, but take the Sunderland comments with a pinch of salt because he only played one season for them and that was two years ago.

    Have a pal in the youth set up

    You broke the news @VFR4life
    Well done mate.
    As Dobson can play CB or Defensive midfield to replace Inniss when he is injured or suspended and play instead of Watson in the holding position.

    IF Steve Gallen and Nigel Adkins believe he is good enough then at 24 and back to his roots in Harrold wood, Romford area then it could just be a good signing.

    *A reminder we are a League 1 club* and however Shite you think this division is, it's our reality so just support Steve,Nigel, Thomas and JJ who are doing everything in their power to attract players to a third tier club with ambition.

    Maguire? He'll bring the average age right back up again. 

    I can't be the only person to wonder if Maguire or someone similar is going to replace the homesick Ronnie Schwartz ?

    It’ll be interesting to see how he does in pre season. Feels a bit like the signing of Simon Walton. But what do I know. 
    Good luck George.

    Simon Walton? He cost us £1m from Leeds and was useless. George is coming on a free and has over 100 appearances in league 1, no comparison 😂

    Mullin only 26 so coming into his prime it would seem 

    Lyle XXXXX was 27 when he had his first good season as a goalscorer at Wimbledon  and his time at Charlton was successful until the injury and the big contract turned his head.

    If you can score in League 2, you can score in League 1 IF you can be used around and in the box with a good service.
    Just a hunch but I feel Ronnie Schwartz will be staying home ?

    Gills quoted us a deal worth 1mill for Tucker 
    You said Dobson was going to cost £250,000. I think you are just making it up.

    Wimbledon offered him a contract on a free, they were never paying a fee to Sunderland.

    why would Wimbledon be quoted £250k? It was reported he was going to be available on a free, Wimbledon offered him a contract which he turned down.

    I know what you mean but, Lord I've worked for bosses who who were totally negative and couldn't inspire me. They absolutely sucked the life out of me and made it a misery to go into work. That is something that can never be aimed at Adkins.

    As if Wimbledon were going to pay 250k but thanks to our super negotiation skills, a club in debt settled for zero.

    Source?  There are loads of articles from local rags linking him with a move back to Wimbledon and leaving Sunderland since April.  Not a single one quotes a fee, let alone that exact one.

    You’re right. I’m talking out of my arse. Think it’s the humidity.
