Get on it then? season kicks off saturday ,
waiting till the end of the window as per usual will we ever be ready to start a season with the squad up and ready to challenge for promotion
As for murphy ripping up the transfers that were ear marked because he wants his own is fair enough, we need to start on the front foot not waiting till September to get what we need.

Now we seem to be focusing more on actual players that fit the bill we get slagged for that too

Exactly my point.
Much rather wait to sign the right players with the right profile than rush in and just sign anyone.

Yet again Cardiff trying to play catch up, and we will end up with panic signings.
Players need time to gel, you can’t just chuck them in and expect miracles.
Bury your head all you want. He may want his signings, so make them. Don’t want to hear the lines, to make us believe they are working hard etc. We need action for once.

That momentum is tough to turn around I think.
New players would have helped with that.
If we start badly the fans will be on the players’ and managers backs.

Why not be on there backs, they have had pre season to sort out last seasons mess with new manager and team, he has moulded the team how he wants it, and it's up to him if he gets players in or not,
my advice was get players in early like a lot of clubs ,but murphy is doing it his way, so take the pats on the back when it's good and take the sh.t when it's not.

We are 8 weeks behind most other Div 1 teams and is also the reason we had such a poor quality of team to play against in pre season
We have been a shambles off the field for a decade and is the reason Tan needs to f**k off as soon as possible

The season we went up under Warnock..Etheridge, Patterson and Mendez Laing probably 3 of our most influential players that year were all signed on the 1st day the window opened
What happened? We got off to a flyer that season that was no coincidence!!
