Ill imagine well start the League with only 9 players taking the field because everybody has out bid us with the max 2.5 million salary they all have  Huh?
I think we will have 11 starters but won’t be able to fill the bench (unless we count youth team players)

Outside Sunderland and Ipswich and a few, that will be case for a lot the league. No gate receipts effect everyone.

It's not exactly been a busy transfer week so far, however.

Shoemaker, are you really a Cobblers fan? Your relentless negativity is boring and yes others are aware what the real world in football is all about.

KC has proved many fans wrong, including me, and his back up staff have provided a range of good players. Therefore I have faith in their professionalism, even if you obviously don't!

It has filled my heart with joy that you have faith in KC and the back room staffs professionalism which is not in doubt.

Unfortunately your faith needs to be matched by hard cash investment for us to be able to compete for players at this level.

A salary cap was literally brought in within the last few days. Smart investment is required for us to compete at this level, not blowing our budget immediately.

If we have a tiny budget and don't splash out on massive transfer fees we could easily find ourselves in the same boat as poor old Wycombe!;)

That’s a fair point but to add balance the season is 3 weeks away.

Our off season dealings are revolving around whether or not Goode stays....
Whether we can get Morton back on loan
Whether we can get Wharton back on loan

We haven’t got a bloody clue if any of these will happen and the season is 3 weeks away...,

It’d be nice to have a couple of friendlies with our first game starting 11 playing wouldn’t it ??

We are basing all our dealings around what other clubs decide to do at the end of the window and imo it’s a recipe for disaster.

Get some permanent players in assuming that we won’t get either back and if we do it’ll be a bonus.
Waiting around wishing and hoping while others are playing friendlies and getting ready for next season is just daft.

Give clubs a deadline to sign Goode and get some decent standard players signed.

The way we are going we will still be playing friendlies in October.

Some of the clubs competing for players with hard cash shouldn’t dream of doing it in their financial position. It very well may be the case that players just signed up may be back on the market before the season starts? Cut your cloth or die, and the fact is some of the people currently in charge of clubs shouldn’t be allowed to run a tap. Compete for players against some of this lot with hard cash my arse, stay off the drugs.

To hammer the point home this lot have just out bid us? What was a certain player and his agent thinking?
No offence, but brains of a rocking horse!

Absolutely correct and well spotted too. So Gillingham have issues and yet the Player seems oblivious to the financial situation. Its a shame on here that one member on here championed Gillingham's signing for outbidding us?

Interesting that the reason cited was not always playing in his favoured centre half slot?

This is s standard windup reply from Mr Shoemaker who thrives on spreading doom and despair. Come the season he quietly fades away.  Incidentally Goode was at Sixfields today but weather curtailed training.

Omar Beccles would be a good signing and I hope he joins but I’ve heard he’s likely to end up at Crewe.
I imagine that may change when Goode leaves
If Charlie has signed for qpr then maybe we’ve made beccles a priority.

Exactly, anybody would think it was a choice between signing these players or signing no-one. The window doesn't close until October 5th, so almost 8 weeks away. Loan signings will be able to made from the Prem up to the 16th October as well. The season starts on 12th September, so there will likely only be 4-5 matches played between then and the windows closes so not a disaster if we don't get our business sorted by then.
