Which one is it? There are three training with us at the moment
They must all be of a pretty exceptional standard to be training with us whilst the seasons ongoing, a couple of days ahead of the window closing, with only a small chance of being the missing domino KC is after. |

The club are trying really hard but they won’t sign a player just for the sake of it and the player has to fit the dynamic of the group and fall within the good housekeeping model even if this means a few more tonkings will be dealt out between now and January.

You make a good point. No point signing a player that doesn't suit the dynamics of the group. We've already got a good squad that will be competitive at this level. It's always good to meet face to face with a player to see what his character is like. It's a buyers market and its just a case of waiting for the dominos to fall. If that doesn't happen in this window, there is always the next one and the one after that. |

We've been spun a web of lies once again.
Go up to L1 and "we won't make the same mistakes again".
Fast forward and we make exactly the same mistakes again.
Speculate to accumulate for once ffs.
It’s only a hunch , but Have you been made aware of the current global crisis ? |

Reading some of the posts on here I would suggest the club never discuss transfer dealings in public as when they do and things don't work out people get upset. Even though the club clearly state that the signings are dependent on things outside of their control at other clubs.
Also I am sure the club knows what has happened in the past with regards promotions and relegations, we simply don't have the finances to do as we please in the transfer market. I suspect that's why they are developing the club off the field to bring in more money.
I am sure they are doing everything they can to improve things within the financial restraints they have and the sands of other clubs.

Wattie, Stop trying to be sensible by expressing yourself with a touch of reality and logic, it will not be understood on here. Even if it is, it will be ignored anyway so that they are able to promote their own varying agenda's...  |

Don't give up hope Shoey. Last season we signed Harriman and Anderson when they were free agents. And January is just round the corner |

I don't think anybody wants us to splurge a load of cash we don't have, but when funds are limited, that just makes spending it correctly even more important. We've managed to close the transfer window with only three senior centre backs on our books, two of whom have been pants so far, even though we start with three centre backs in Curle's preferred system. That means either Racic goes back in the team, or a full back continues to play out of position to plug the gap. God forbid we have one or even two injuries in this position. We have no direct replacement for McCormack. We have no direct replacement for Oliver, even though we have about half a dozen forwards in the squad now. But apparently we shouldn't panic because there are 'more free agents than usual this year' - in other words, we're planning to plug gaps in the squad reactively, by seeing which journeyman who hasn't played a competitive game for 8 months is willing to take up a short term deal here as a last resort. This is despite Curle saying before the P*sh game that he wants to follow their model of signing young, hungry players in the Korboa or BAS mould, with potential resale value. Is that really the plan? Because the autumn free agents route seems at odds with that. I think we've got recruitment all wrong this summer. If we continue shipping two or three goals a game then we'll go down and we'll be able to trace the reasons why back to this transfer window. |

Spot on Put much more eloquently than I. Only the most claret tinted happy clapper could argue that our strongest starting eleven is stronger than the play off winning team We have had income of one million pounds plus and have spent £0 on the defence and have got a forward line without a target man, without a proven striker at this level and haven’t scored a league goal since the old king died. Cracking work town. We deserve to stay up. |
