FWIW. I dont necessarily think we need to urgently go out at get a left back. If Purrington is only out for a few weeks - a month at most, then Gunter or Roddy can deputise. If you brought in a new left back they would assume that it's their position for the season & I don't think that's fair on Purrington. A loan would do the trick & in my mind that's what loans are for - plugging gaps. Not replacing a regular or a main part of the team.

I know what you’re saying mate, but that’s just simply not how it happened. The worked hard to get Aneke to stay, he ended up getting a Championship move and being paid more than we could offer. That’s football.golfaddick said:
Did we ? don't remember replacing Chucks. Must have missed that one. Unless you mean Davison, who scored 3 for FG last season.Sage said:We are after a left back.
. He said he wanted to ensure we got the keeper and striker right first, which we did. They’re working on other targets all the time.
Of course I'm being facetious - we brought in Stockley. He just happened to be here last season........along with Chuks 🤔
I am sure that although Davison may have had a relatively good pre-season, they would be looking at bringing in another striker too.5 -
Well yeah, but if we HADN'T bought him in our strikers would be Schwartz and Davison*. So he is in fact a striker we've bought in no matter the negative spin you try and put on it.golfaddick said:

You know Frank Worthington died a while back ?Wheresmeticket? said:I'll be negative after we have lost several games we should have won. After we have consistently played badly. This whole "we've been through so much it's made me negative" is just getting f***ng boring.
A league one club with the likes of Worthington Stockley Famewo Innis Clare and some excellent young players coming through is in a strong position.
Let's wait til we have played at least ONE match FFSAlmost as if there’s WUPs arguing on this site just for gits and shiggles

many on here don’t rate him (wrongly)
Gallen’s already intimated that the plan is to have cover everywhere
Given how few loans we currently have my money’s on LB being a loan but we’ll now try to quietly bring that forward

Ipswich drew 3-3 with Colchester earlier tonight, with an 87th minute equaliser saving them from defeat.
Not a rumour I know, but relevant with everyone watching Ipswich hoovering up players and turning green with envy.1 -
I believe this could be true, the club been losing more man than expected £11 mill plus a year, which is a lot more than originally expected. This had a huge effect on the transfer budget. The budget is actually less than the year we were promoted!Vfrf said:noise on another forum that nigel may not be happy with sandgaard, something about broken promises. sounds a bit like panic to me, anybody itk have anthing to say ont hat?1 -
When is Nigel ever not happy?
On a separate note, I'm not in the worriers camp, but I am now in the bored camp. Please sign some players to relieve this painful inertia.2 -

Plus a lot of premier league sides don't even have half their squads back in training because of the Euro's and the Copa America.covered_end_junior said:There really is plenty of time left though, especially for the Prem loans which will hopefully improve us massively.
Cullen signed for us on the 30th of August during our league 1 season
Bielik was on the 16th of August
I'm expecting similar.
Man City played a friendly last night and only had 7 senior pro's in their squad. So until the big clubs have their full squads back it's unlikely they'll be making final decisions on who to loan out just yet.

Last season we had purrington and Maatsen plus Gunter and Matthew’s. Surely a Left back would have been on the radar?golfaddick said:FWIW.

It’s certainly an area I thought we’d have been looking at anyway.
Perhaps they have that budget targeted elsewhere or they already have a loan lined up.0 -
Agreed TS has already said the budget higher then last season … but we are not going silly and spending 15k a week in wages or 2 mill on a player .. TS has just taken over a mess of a club he not going to put us back there after how much he had to commit to to save the club …. People forgetting why NA was brought in because he excellent bringing young player through .. TS knows that what we need to doking addick said:

Because they can't stand Steve Bruce, they probably would have been booed off if they won 15-0RonnieMoore said:

I think you may be mistaking that with his desire to do positive things. He looks like a decent addition to the squad to me and if he continues to play like that, we will surely take him on as why have him on trial otherwise?DubaiCAFC said:
He looks awkward, and panicked on the ball, his first touch got him in to trouble a number of times. I personally feel he doesn’t improve the squad.Vfrf said:
Nah I think we’re watching the same game just looking at different elements of the game. I think Gomes did a good job of looking at runs in behind, good distribution to the wings. Downside he had his pocket picked a couple of times but would more often than not have Dobson tidying up should be play for us competitively.DubaiCAFC said:
You are watching a different game to me. Our youngest are better as back up. Thank you for helping us out, but no thanks mateJoshAddick said:Mendez Gomes has looked tidy
If we are bring a midfielder in, bring one in that improves us.3 -
I know they don't like Bruce but Mike Ashley doesn't give him much money to work with and Newcastle finished 12th last season. Where do their fans think they should be finishing?DDOUBLEE said:

You have the big 6, plus Leicester and Everton. Villa have spent 200m+ in 2 years, Leeds have Bielsa and spent a fair bit as well.1 -
Sam Greenwood of Leeds we are number of lower league sides looking at a possible loan ???0

Exactly. I mean Man Utd even did make a decision and loan a player out without actually letting him leave the club (Chong to Birmingham).Chris_from_Sidcup said:

The wage budget, when we last went up, was actually massive by league 1 standards. The problem was a lot of it was tied up by Tommy D and Gobbinson's signings that hardly played. We had players on about £800 a week that played every week and players on 10 times that that didn't.DubaiCAFC said:

Pre-seasons are absolutely irrelevant in trying to read a team.Callumcafc said:Ipswich drew 3-3 with Colchester earlier tonight, with an 87th minute equaliser saving them from defeat.
Not a rumour I know, but relevant with everyone watching Ipswich hoovering up players and turning green with envy.
I remember coming out of Solly’s testimonial after being pasted by Villa and his words of ‘stick by us, we’re gonna need you this season’, thinking we were doomed. We of course still went down, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, and we went down on the final day, owned for half of the season by Dutchatelet and the other half by ESI.Even the first few games can’t really give you an indication of what will happen. The season we were in the championship, I thought we were genuine play off contenders! Last season, we had those 6 wins in the league and it was a given we were up automatically.
I haven’t seen any of the pre-season games, so can’t comment, but I pay no attention to good or bad reviews at this stage. We definitely need more players in to get promoted, but as for giving predictions off the back of pre-season games, I think it’s an absolute waste of time.8 -
