Why do you think we may have more signings if more leave?

So far from the end of last season we've lost

Arter
Gunnar
Camarasa
Bruno
Ken
Healey

We've replaced them with

Flint
Vaulks
A League 1 player who may or may not have been signed as a starter.
A League 2 goalie.

The squad at the moment looks far weaker than it did last season and needs significant strengthening if a promotion push is a realistic target.

I tend to agree that we will be going with what we currently have with one or two lower league or Scottish additions.


You left out kadeem harris who also has left

:lol: :lol: :lol: f*cking hell your always good for a chuckle.

I can see us signing at least four in the next two weeks.
I don’t know how you can think otherwise it’s not a case of wanting to. They have to sign that many to give us half a chance.

There is no way in the world we are starting the season with Madine Ward and Bogle as our only strikers.


They dont have to sign anyone
We have in our squad

3 goalkeepers
4 full backs
5 centre backs
6 midfielders
3 wingers
4 strikers

That's a squad of 25
We may bring in a squad filler but cant really see any big signings, I think if they were coming we would have them in by now.
The only reason we signed Flint was because Manga left.
Dont know why you would have the impression we will sign 4. There has not even been a hint that will be the case.
Reid, Ward, Bogle and Madine as strikers is still better than most championship teams

Everyone said we needed strengthening in january to give us a chance , it didnt happen!

Ummm yes it did we broke our transfer record in January how can people keep forgetting this and what happened acting like the club just did f**k all in January.

If they want promotion they have to strengthen. Our midfield is weak and we have no decent striker.

The same thing happens every season. The signings which have been arranged for months are completed quickly at the start of the window and the may or may not transfers happen right at the end of the window.

Camarasa and Arter both signed on loan right at the end of the transfer window last season. I can remember the panic as many fans feared we would go into the PL season without hardly any central midfielders.

I would imagine there are possible loan deals lined up which won't be finalised until 7/8th August for a number of reasons but I'm sure players will come.
