There’s no use playing it down, the lack of signings is troubling. Your views on the current squad are besides the point, the group still needs refreshing. It’s not like BBM has said he’s happy with what he has, he does want players in, so are the club struggling to attract them?

Plymouth nine new signings and Luton six.

BBM was brought in late, which wasn’t his fault.

He then had to analyse the team, figure out who was staying and who wasn’t going to work out.

He told the club to scrap the transfers they were targeting, as he has his own targets.

He has been away in Spain with the first team and has been back for less than a week.

It is well known that we don’t have the money to spend, and will mainly rely on loans.

I would have liked to see some new players in by now, but it’s not the end of the world.

It’s not as if the transfer window closed last night.

We are skint and why a coach was brought in to start with that's my opinion on it all despite what others living on different planets to some others on here say or the "it's early yet"" talkers which gets said every transfer window by the same type of people but you may see some unknown loans or freebies at some point I guess just before it closes no doubt and they will be weeks on end away from starting regularly that's what we usually get

I agree, how anyone can be happy NO Signings ???

We are once again playing catch up the usual ones have been saying it’s early yet unbelievable.

Same people will be saying give the team a chance as it’s not complete yet etc etc

And don’t forget Murphy says we will sign quality players.

2 weeks away from kick off are squad should be bedded in but as per usual Mr Tan is disruptive and awkward as ever and silent 12 players out none in and no direction or statment from the top of what's the plan promotion consolidation relegation

my dead granny could analyse the team, half of them still need to go, and we need new blood, experienced blood and stop this faffing going on around he needs time - he needs to get a move on!

Spot on.


One of the usual suspects Roath has already made the excuse and will do the same on the players.

But what he does not do is state this is all Tans fault.
100% year after year same old bullshit.

And Murphy knew all this when he accepted the job.

Promotion must be 100%.

A Minimum 4 Wins from first 6 league games as we can not be chasing and playing catch up.


This is Division 3 where Tan has taken us.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

It is a bit concerning the closer we get to first home game and a tough pre season against a Notts County side who were knocking on the door last season. I know the transfer window is until September but we really do need to set our stall at straight from the start and make us a force from the start, a poor start at home against Peterborough will have a massive negative effect not only on the team but also us as fans.

Analyse a team that finished bottom with a whimper! and were no doubt analysed by the three managers they played under. The so called pedigree of players in this squad its a disgrace we got into the third tier .

And two weeks to go any players coming in will be playing catch up. I agree that new signings arent always necassarily quality, and we dont have funds, and we dont want to add more dross just because they are available and cheap, but surely there are loans and freebies out there who can surely fight for the badge and bring something to the table.

This is a poor underwhelming, lightweight, leaderless squad with a mentality of failure. It needs decent quality adding to it ASAP, mostly a leader!!!!!!

I don’t see it as a ‘problem’ as such, as I believe good quality players will come in via BBM’s contact network

I’m also of the belief that this is an indication that we are closer to a sale agreement than we might think! No one has ‘poo-pooed’ the idea from within the club and it seems negotiations are at a ‘delicate’ stage

Personally, I think we have a squad that should compete in League 1, but I’d take a year of treading water, if it meant a sale could go through at some point, allowing both us and Tan to move on!

I don't why people things will get any better soon! The simple fact is that we are in a shit situation and absolutely nothing will improve until Tan and his cronies are gone for good. I'm hoping we can survive this season and push for promotion when/if a new owner comes in. Tan will take every thing he can from our club before he departs, so don't expect any quality players in and to lose some more of the current squad.Even harder times ahead but we will get through it and throw a party when Tan has left the building.

Now you’re just making things up again.

I’ve said many times that Tan is to blame for a lot of things, and I want him gone.

But apparently you either choose not to read that part, or ignore it.

Getting bored of it now.

According to someone at the meeting last night bbm told them all, he wants to add 4 players to the squad hopefully 2 of those before the Peterborough game

he did say its difficult as premier league sides are still working out there 25 man squads

Which tells me we are mostly looking at young loans

Great post, totally agree.

On the flip side, we had loads of new signings last year and look what happened.

Just because other clubs have made signings, doesn't mean they're any good. Luton and Plymouth have also both lost their main striker - Carlton Morris and Ryan Hardie.

We haven't.

We need 4/5 good signings that will improve us but not loads of signings.

I wouldn't trust tan and his merry men to organise a Christmas party sooner he is gone the better in my eyes .
Every season it's something. Why can't we have one season that every thing is great in place and enjoy the campaign.

Tangledupinblue spot on

Didn't you recently say that 'we already have a good enough squad to compete for top two' this coming season?
So are the 4/5 signings really required?

I did but of course a few bits of quality will be enough us to get over the line.

It would also help morale amongst the fanbase.

But I do believe we have a strong squad for this league.

We definitely need a goalkeeper and a bit of experience though.

Let’s be honest people can say oh bbm got a plan and different targets etc,but we like this every summer always on the back foot chasing and stuff it’s because we’re run like a non league side

Well yes.

Luton have brought in 6 while Plymouth have gained 8. All we have done is get rid of 12. Those figures should tell you everything yet we have one or two who think its all honky dory because we have a boss who has never managed a club. f**k it but I think our next signing should be a white coat man.

I'll give the club a chance and its called 12 games before commenting on this setup again.

We are in trouble 100%.

We won’t sign anyone decent for any big money because Tan wants out.

This league may be weaker than the Championship, but we were whipping boys in the championship and we’ve lost 12 players since.

Put a positive spin on it all you like. If you cared about the club you would admit we are in trouble and want better for us!

Just putting your head in the sand and having a go at the ones who are worried isn’t helping.

Exactly it’s like oh let’s throw all the youngsters at it with no thought behind it really that sums our board up

Oh yes

I think some are forgetting we are financially perhaps not in any position to make any signings.

But the club have said there going for promotion so has the coach who come in are we really expecting to believe anything they say. Just say we are skint and that's it we working with youngsters get behind them to us all. Id except that either way rather than the bullshit we keep being fed. It don't make us less of fans then who are questioning what's going on as let's be honest we got an untested coach as a manager and we don't have many city's u21s cream or the crop here if we dont make some good signings hence id except what I've said above over blag
