I'm sure there are bargains out there.
I just worry that a lot of those players still without a club are those who have an opinion of themselves that is greater than the opinion all the clubs have of them. And those are generally the type of characters we don't want in the dressing room. (Remember Van Veen.)
Do people think KT will spunk all of the EFL cup prize money on our new marquee striker?

Do you mean the FA cup from last year? Because the EFL cup pays f*** all (I think we get £7k for getting through to the second round yesterday).

I'm not really bothered about a striker now. I think the three that played after me slating them actually deserve a chance after they showed hunger and a bit of passion, that's all I ask. Then we have nuttal and the youngster on the bench as backup.

Clearly out of our budget range but I'm shocked Michael Jacobs is still without a club following his release from Wigan. Presumably waiting on a Championship offer.
Devante Cole also still without a club.
Honestly you say he’s out of our range now but the season starts in a week’s time and he’s currently unemployed, and with Wigan he was yo-yoing between L1 and the Championship anyway - so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that he might still not have had an offer in 3-4 weeks... Then presumably his demands drop a touch as otherwise he’s looking at a season on the shelf. Whether he fits into what Curle wants is another thing (I think he could fit as one of the wide forwards) but I don’t see why he couldn’t be tempted to come back to us under similar circumstances that attracted Gabor Gypes. A fair wage for our club (good housekeeping!) but also a fairly cheap release clause should a bigger club come knocking. Either he stays and we have a good player, or he leaves and the club get a quick profit. No lose situation.

Nobody knows?
He signs who he wants, He's Keef Curle, he signs who he wants.
(As long as its within his budget and maintains good housekeeping)

Somebody quoted £1m so I hope he doesn’t frit it all away on one player! Prefer midfield, winger, centre back and full back cover I suppose wages must be the real issue as is the recent £2.5 bar level?

I'm hoping a useful by-product of yestarday's win will mean that it makes the club a more attractive proposition for any potential player.

They've already said that we're not going to be affected by the cap, the wages available isnt as high as 2.5m.

So whats the whisperings on the ins this week ntfclad?
With a few injuries and not the largest squad, be interesting to see how we treat the EFL trophy tomorrow against MK
Could play similar team to Cardiff and get more minutes in legs but then also risking 3 games in a week when we start the league saturday for some players
I'm saying ring the changes, play some youth and a few fringe players.

I would make all the changes I could, but even then with the injuries we currently have we are limited with what we can do.
Mitchell Marshall Ballinger Horsfall Martin Roberts Lines Watson Warburton Smith Johnston
Something along those lines? Everyone that did not start on Saturday I would bring in!

We need to bring in some strong players for competition as whilst the first choice players have looked great so far, the mish-mash makeshift eleven that finished against Luton looked absolutely woeful! We can't rely on the same players to stay injury free, match fit and in good form all season - and Hoskins, Adams, McWilliams and Pollock's returns won't add too much depth onto what's currently available. I'm sure KC is on it but if we play a second string side tomorrow night I think it could be a mauling from MK. First team were superb to a man on Saturday though! Loving the players KC has managed to bring in thus far

Seeings as our first two league games are against two clubs that are also predicted to finish in the bottom four, it would be worthwhile trying to get some of these 3/4 key signings in before we throw six points the way of our relegation rivals!

Do the rules still apply involving having to play x number of players from the last game, is that only count for league games before it?

Some of the lads that have stepped up from the under 18s need game time to showcase what they can do. The game tomorrow is an ideal opportunity for this because they can’t be wrapped in cotton wool forever . Other clubs may also be in the same position as us because everyone had been hit financially by the crisis .

Difficult one......it usually is, but as we haven't played any league games yet then it can't work can it? Having looked at the rules they state that you must play your "full available strength" side..... however, the rules stipulate that there must be at least 4 "qualifying players" in the starting line up. To be a qualifying player you need to..... Have started the previous game (ie our EFL Cup game on Saturday) or...... Goes on to start the next League game (on Saturday coming) or..... Has made over 40 senior appearances in his career or...... Is in the list of the 10 players who have made the highest number of appearances for the team that season. So basically, at this early stage of the season we only to satisfy criteria 1....... pick 4 of the 11 who started on Saturday. The rest can be made up of the youth players or those subs who didn't get on. Its not like we have much available strength in depth to change things too much anyway.

There has been one at least so far - lost to the senior side.!
