midds Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It's still June like. Still plenty of time to make our own luck, hit the ground running and give the new signings time to bed it, it's a moveable feast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Players are back in less than three weeks. Even taking into account the reputation of our regime, surely people weren't expecting much action before July. One, two signings at the most. I'm totally on board with the scepticism and worry but perhaps it's not quite time to panic. Like I've said earlier, if we haven't made ANY progress whatsoever by next weekend, then I'll start the onslaught. If might only be two weeks but there's a big difference between mid June and the start of July, in terms of the transfer market. After all, alot of players are on holiday. We will all be disappointed come September anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The £25m has to be bollocks surely? We need to spend more than double than that just to stand still and keep safety for next season assured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're still seeing no recruits next week then it's quite clear somat's up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Our media black out tends to be in spite of rags making up stuff about us that's negative. There's a huge irony though that if we don't talk to them then they have nothing to write, so are more likely to make stuff up. I'm sort of hoping the £25m thing is a rumour they've ran with as they have no official comms on strategy, plus as a bit of a fuck you to stir up trouble. That's my clutching at straws angle, the sad thing is that it's so Ashley to make out that we are going to invest, then spend much less than what's needed and what we could afford.

Might as well start slagging them off whenever tbh, I stand to be corrected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 10m is ridiculous for Deeney All the numbers for the players we have been linked with sounds ridiculous to me, especially considering all of them are average at best. Not like we are linked with overpaying for quality, not one of the links gets me even remotely interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
