RedChaser said:@soapboxsam I think Nick Pope was released by Ipswich at 16 and went to Bury Town (St Edmunds) and into their first team from whom we signed him aged 19 in 2011.
@RedChaser you are correct. I knew Nick Pope was at Bury town (St Edmunds) after being released but for some reason I thought he was a few years younger than 19 when he signed for Cafc.

May be a leftover follow from back in January when the move fell through late on? Just forgot to unfollow…0

anyway it’s probably not a legitimate bid and I can’t believe a Crewe Alexandra player regardless how good he is has got us in the blender. Genuinely my least favourite transfer window in god knows how long. Rolands first couple of years we actually signed some really exciting players, then we all expected naff all. Now the expectations are up (rightly so IMO) and it’s been very underwhelming. I cannot believe how many league 1 gems we have missed out on.
anyway on a more positive spin, 2 more sleeps till I can get trollied and call the Wendy’s dirty northern b******s2 -

I want us to WIN this league so I want us to have the best squad.
Currently we don't.
I genuinely don't care about other clubs. Our owner made strong comments at the end of last season and I trust him and are glad we have him.
But we don't have a fit left back and NO left midfielder.
Totally unbalanced. I'm not saying our squad should be finished by now but come on now. We've needed both these positions in cover and first choice since our last two loanees in those positions left!
What are you comparing it to? Powell's, Bowyer's, Curbishley's, Man City, Peps Barca, Brazil 1970?
Its not a pub league, but we don't have a pub team.
You completely avoid my point about the lack of any fit or signed left sided players.
Or do you only care to answer the parts that are easy to have an opinion on?
Does anybody really think we should be starting the season with no left back and no left midfielder?
Do you think we should be starting the season with Gunther at left back and Washington, out of position, as our only real option to play left hand side?0 -

The problem we'll have if Washington is our main left winger this season is that we have signed a striker that thrives on balls into the box and washington won't give us that. We 100% need a winger who can get the ball onto Stockleys head otherwise we'll be pretty impotent and may as well not bothered signing Stockley if we're not going to actually play to his main strength.3 -

I really don't understand why people can't see it.It’ll stop after Saturday when we’ve got games to look back on and ahead to. Especially when we beat Wednesday and realise our first 11 is pretty decent.3 -
'Every footballing failure we've suffered has been down to lack of depth'? Not sure I agree with that. Player selection and positioning has played a part. As have useless managers and crackpot management.

If we are to see a "marquee signing" before the end of the window I think it'll be in the final few days where we maybe chuck a bit of money at one. I'm expecting Gomes to sign as he's been with us pretty much all pre season and 2/3 loan signings.
Trying to put our business into perspective my conclusion is that TS is happy to invest but in a careful business like manor. Why splash out on a new left winger if he's being told by our coaches a youth player who costs nothing is ready? The world has changed over the last 18 months and the "smaller" clubs are going to squeeze every penny they can out of clubs for their prized possessions. This in turn makes negotiations difficult. I'm my industry our margins are next to nothing at the moment with materials/goods prices rocketing and companies going in low with tenders just to get work. Football is a different ball game but it still is a business, not to us but whether we like it or not it is to TS and it would be any other owner.
I'd love to see us have a Powell style re-build and win the league but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.
