Signings
It may not have been a case of being outbid.Mikins wrote:I should say I'm a little surprised we're still being outbid by Barnet on contracts, but then they've always seemed to have more money than their fanbase and not being in the league for a few seasons should explain.
Tbh we'll probably see no signings until after the first few pre-season games are under way and the trialists start getting run outs. and I'm happy enough not to be signing people sight unseen anymore.
I remember Hoyte being portrayed in a negative way once he had he contract withdrawn.
I'm not sure I'd be desperate to go back somewhere that did that to me.
What do you guys think we NEED defensively? Currently we have 3 contracted defenders, Partridge, Connors and Widdowson and you would imagine Gayle will sign his new contract.
Will Partridge be given a starting place at CB? (I reckon that will be his position in the long term).
I think we NEED a top class RB & CB, leaving Gayle and Connors as back up and I would like to add another young defender as back up.
I looked at the likes of Hoyte, Legge and Tozer being ideal, but they've been snapped up. Would anyone take Marvin McCoy from York? Bring Magnus back?
Has anyone else got any realistic names in mind?

Get ayo back on loan asap.
If zav fit then that big bonus but we will need at least 1rb 1cb and a ball winner.
Not sure how far our budget can go tho so will probably see 2 signings and 330 loans by Xmas.

Hope this is true but did they not just sell that defender to Liverpool for £3m. Now Luton have Doey do we get McNulty.......
Matt McClure is signing according to someone online. No idea if true.

At least 5 spaces to fill in the squad if it's to be competitive with very minimal time, less than a month to go now.

Well how did we plan to keep what you would feel were the 4 biggest wage earners in Doe, Abu, Howell andMikins wrote:Highly doubt we've got the money for 5 players. I expect to sign 1-3 and then loan in anyone else.
Bingham if we never had the money to pay them. Thought Wayne was disappointed to see them go. Another season where we get fed the team needs time to gel

We've probably spent a good chunk of our wage budget on Nyron. It's very disappointing at the moment to see the core of the team gone only to be replaced by a 34 year old at the arse end of his career. I'm hoping WB has some players to come in as time is running out. Fed up with seeing flexi cards and special offers on friendly matches, when we've barely got a team to put out on the pitch. It's laughable how they expect people to turn up to support them.

I doubt very much a large chunk has gone on Nyron, he has made his money from the game. We don't chuck money at individuals otherwise you would have seen others stay.stanton101 wrote:We've probably spent a good chunk of our wage budget on Nyron.
