WHY ARE WE WAITING FOR SIGNINGS ?

Fri Aug 08, 2025 6:40 pm

There are quality players with experience out there now but getting snapped up, we do not need man city kids, we have 7 academy players in the team already so what are we waiting for when it's clear what we need.?

Not sure we're waiting monty, we have to remember we're a league1 club now & it's even more difficult to attract players than ever. Plus of course we have the added uncertainty around the clown & his band of jesters.

It's about finding the right profiles and that work is ongoing.

The right players will come in. Better than signing just anyone - that's how you end up with players like Meite.

Change the record

Fans are not asking to sign anyone for the sake of it they are saying they are there now what we need seasoned players who can help our youngsters along

I think that it will start happening now as teams are / have sorted their first team squads out and hopefully the ones we’re after will find themselves surplus to requirements at their clubs.
A seasoned, hard nut pro at centre back and a left winger with pace and the ability to cross are a must. Then a left back.

It's aload of bollocks talk the club are not properly investing in the team just hoping we go up like every other season over the last good few years. They've talk of cost cutting every season then say "We are going for promotion" then release 13 or 14 players basically, let's be realistic here I can except them saying we using the youngsters with maybe some freebies and loans I'd prefer honestly and it won't make us less of fans rather than saying we bringing in quality players then seeing only an unknown goalkeeper who can't hold down a club after loans galore that clearly clubs didn't fancy him after the loan it's that simple, so that tells me something. Id rather them all be honest than bullshit as we are immune to that with the current clowns at the club.

A few unknown younger players won't be quality signings in my opinion we have enough of them already. I'm sure the Manager would love to bring in 10 players he knows who are better than what we got but we are skint that's how it is. :bluescarf:

Not skint just starved of investment from an owner who has lost complete interest and is just an awkward that.

Let's hope so especially if we loose at home to Rotherham and murphy still has not got his quality players in, he might hear some more booes, we had a sickner of it last year false promises from a manager and a lot of fans patients is very thin.

Re: WHY ARE WE WAITING FOR SIGNINGS ?

Sat Aug 09, 2025 3:15 pm

I don't think we'll see much before teams start loaning out players & even then they will need to be free or very cheap.

Re: WHY ARE WE WAITING FOR SIGNINGS ?

Sat Aug 09, 2025 3:22 pm

Monty I think this is our team unfortunately, he ain’t gonna spend , this is what we are left with , he’s gonna suck the club dry and I can see a relegation battle on the cards again . Nothing is gonna change while he owns this club

Re: WHY ARE WE WAITING FOR SIGNINGS ?

Sat Aug 09, 2025 3:38 pm

We need 3 or 4 signings if we are to compete for the top 2 and probably another couple in the January window

Even if tan says no signings which I wouldn't put past the clown there is no chance we will be anywhere close to the relegation places

Yes Thursday was awful as bad as last season but people need to get a grip, it's gonna take a few games for the team to settle down and adjust to this division

People saying bbm is no different to riza make me smirk a bit, my. Blind dog could see riza was useless, at the moment we are still unbeaten (just about) since bbm walked through the door 9 games including pre season

Let's see where we are after 12 games I still think we will be in the top 8 by then

But I do agree tan needs to stop being a prick and back bbm in the transfer market

Re: WHY ARE WE WAITING FOR SIGNINGS ?

After the pv performance OR LACK OF IT BBM NEEDS TO GET A COUPLE OF SIGNINGS IN ASAP before the Rotherham GAME!!!

The question is how do we force clubs to release experienced players to us before Rotherham game Can't be that hard can it? Well get impression all got to do is ask club for a player and hey presto hes ours! .. :o

I didn't say they should or even would, in fact I said the opposite of what you're suggesting & it was a statement on what I thought we should expect with the current regime, nothing.

Sorry wasn't a dig at your post! More about people expecting clubs to release players just for us
When we ask for them? I agree with you players won't be available until late into window ... all we can do is trust bbm knows what he's foing and he can deliver the type of players he wants.

Who's worrying about other teams?
Are we bringing anyone in ?
Huddersfield Luton have invested just stating a fact and oddly are top of the division funny that what a coincidence ,
same as birmingham last season investing getting the squad together and going for it they got there rewards for investing getting the team together early.
As per usual for us last minute been here heard all the same excuses year after year then when we don' t bring anyone in the excuses start, well they were not right they wanted to much bla bloody bla tan is not interested and will be very surprised if murphy brings in all this quality in the next fortnight.

Monty , guaranteed we ain’t getting anyone in , there’s no change for the better it’s just a downward spiral , we will hear excuses and more bullshit off dahlman , the club is gonna be run into the ground , the future is so bleak until he eventually decides to sell up

It may be that no one wants to play for the manager. Hes no experience no track record no one’s heard of him outside the clubs he works and there had a low profile.

He needs to gain respect and a good reputation in the football world which takes time. He’s an unknown as it stands and is bound to make signing players more difficult for him. Plus he said he’s happy with what he has.

Thanks but I’m passed my best now.
Mind you I might give a few a run for their money on a five aside though.
