The way I am looking at it is there are a couple of targets that are decent bets, Dack and May. When one of them goes somewhere else, I will be concerend. It isn't a question on whether I think these are the right players or not but more that I think they are on Holden's list and if we don't get them something could be wrong.
I really think Dack is a risk tbh couod be another Arter
Given the timescale of the takeover, and the fact that we will be dependent on the outgoing Sandgaard to finance any deals - I think we may be about to witness the most underwhelming CAFC transfer window of all time.
We are going to bring in some truly, truly crap players. Of that I have no doubt.
No .. same targets will be worked on with or without the takeover makes no diff at this time .. the only change when the takeover happens middle of July is the new owners will increase the budget for the final weeks of the window
It's not hard to increase the budget from nothing though is it.
And come mid-end of July all the better players would have been snapped up.
Glad I'm not buying a ST as the new season will be even worse than the last one. A real relegation
Relegation ?? you supporting Stevenage next season … good luck I shall be supporting us at the other end of the league ..
I admire your optimism.
Last year was bad. But this season we need more players than we did this time last year
we need around 10-12 new players. Some can be loans & some can be squad players to fill in some gaps.
However, we need 4 or 5 mainstays that will play 40+ league games next season.
2 strikers (as we really only have 1 at the moment)
A winger to replace JRS
A midfield dynamo to create things & unlock defences (Alan Barry Bannon)
Central defenders to replace Innis & Hector.
So I ask again @RonnieMoore......what's happened to.Alfie May. We were all told last week that he was having a medical & would he unveiled shortly afterwards. Not having a pop mate but you have been so sure there is going to be incomings I'm wondering what the hold up is.
Just because it’s not announced does not mean it not happened , but your right the delay seems strange two other reasons perhaps something come up in the medical or Cheltenham want to get a replacement in before they let him leave ..like a loan signing that was agreed yesterday the player in question as taken a short holiday should be announced on July 1.
Transfer market does not start properly until teams return for pre season we see it every year Hopefully we will be big players in the market with the new owners wanting to make their mark once the EFL gives the ok in the next 2/3 weeks.
ha, ha. A loan signing was agreed yesterday but the player has now gone on holiday?
If we need two strikers and one is May, what about Matty Taylor as back up? 33 now but always liked him and now a free agent after being released by Oxford.
That really would be accepting that League One was our level
Maybe but ive always thought he was effective and we did get promoted with Josh Parker
That’s because the majority of our team were good enough to play in the championship.
We did get relegated literally tge year after with largely the same team

No we didn’t. We lost, Bauer, Bielik, Aribo, Dijksteel and Taylor played less than half a season. That XI who won the play offs would’ve survived comfortably.

Yes but we brought in Lockyer, Gallagher and Taylor played way mpre than half a season. The idea that the team was signiticantly worse is wrong

We wouldn't have been relegated if we had most of our players fit all season, which wasn't the case. People always seem to forget about the massive injury crisis we had that season yet we still very nearly stayed up

It was a lot worse. Our play off winning team would have spanked our most regular team in the relegation campaign. And Taylor didn’t play “way more than half a season” he played 22 games.

No chance, it was definitely worse. Lockyer wasn’t as good as Bauer had been, Gallagher only here half a season and we had very little going forwards.

We only had Gallagher for the first half of the season
RC not as up to date with his comments as he once was remember only few weeks back he said TS had not signed the paperwork when everyone else said he had .. few days later he admitted it was signed

Well that's convinced me. Cawley has been replaced by RonnieMoore as our source of knowledge.

Not true, some people were saying it has happened, or was about to happen, a week or so before it did. RC was only a few hours behind @DubaiCAFC who was the first to say it was done on the actual day. Bear in mind Rich needs confirmation before he can say something like that prior to putting it out there.

It really is, though, sadly. I don't think we can pretend it is a temporary dip any more.
Surely something has to happen for us soon….Sess coming back on a perm free transfer would be a good start. We must be able to get that over the line with our “increased transfer budget”.
We need players like Sess to be back training next week to ensure he’s fit & ready for the new season kick off.

Roland’s biggest blunder IMO. He didn’t have to balls to go all in after Wembley, we really could have had a crack at promotion again.

Do you know if we are close to any targets?
