I didn’t say things are awful, but we are struggling to make the signings the club wanted at the start of the window.

 

This place is getting well rawky when it comes to anything remotely negative.

 

I just don't understand why you can't just wait till the window closes man. There's never any guarantees of when signings are done by.

 

I mean I get that some people like having a bit of a whinge, but equally some others will find it tedious and a bit irritating, and so will comment on it as well.

 

It's just the nature of the beast really. Can't wait for the window to close whether we sign anyone or not that's for sure.

Okay, I will!

Nobody is whinging.

Where the fuck are our purples?  This is major worrying.

You may have the opinion that this hasn't been a good transfer window to date. Others may think that it is and there are those that are waiting until September to form an opinion, those people might debate with you. Going 'OMG its like RAWK on here' when someone disagrees with your opinion is really odd.

Paraphrasing but "You'll be lucky to get one of those signings the way things are going" sounds a lot like whining.

 

Be glad when the window is over, the sharp insight that we need better players is starting to get a bit old.

[Kimbo]

I am waiting until the window is closed, I have little option. I’m cautiously optimistic that we can bring in one significant player before the deadline (but it may be a loan), but if we got 3 I think I’d faint.

Well how do you think the search for attacking players has gone so far?

[elbee909]

We'd just find something else to be annoyed about!

[Zero]

Ok no body is whining. Everyone remember this. Negativity in this thread does not count as whining.

[Coffee_Johnny]

I feel like having a good whinge, mind. Feel like we are close to a remarkable season. Hope the decision makers believe this too, want it now, and push the boat out in the next couple of weeks.

It's a rock and a hard place. Can't spend too much due to FFP; but no point getting people in who aren't a proper step up. The situation is obviously not ideal. What's the solution? Fucked if I know

That's not really a valid point.  It's not about how much money has been spent, it's about which areas of the team need strengthening and which are ok.

 

Defensively we weren't too bad last year but if you go back through the threads the one consistent note is that our attack lacks depth and quality, particularly at striker and RW. 

We lack quality in attack and depth in midfield.

We lacked depth all over the park until we brought Pope and Botman in.

It's very difficult to say, because it depends on what is going on behind the scenes.

 

If we land Isak before the window closes because we finally managed to get Sociedad to agree to a fee that worked for us then I'd say amazing!

 

If we end up not getting anyone at all then incredibly disappointing.

 

It could be either extreme still really. We'll find out soon enough though.

How or why is Chilwell in the development squad?

Fitness?

If they loan CHO, won't he have a year only left on his contract at the end of the season?

They could extend by a year and loan out. We done that didn't we ?

Probably add a year on as a condition of going on loan as a lot of clubs do these days.

[xLiaaamx]

Plenty of time. There's still 7... Uh, 2 and a bit weeks of the window left.

Hopefully along with that they also stipulate a fee should we wish to buy next Summer, similar to the Targett deal. Excited by CHO, think he could finally have that breakout year under Howe.
