I get it doesn't shut for a couple of weeks but to me if you don't have your most important business done by the first game there's something not quite right. If Guehi doesn't sign what a total waste these last 2 weeks have been. 

 

Not all of our work is being done in public.

Ideally you want them in at the start of the transfer window but so many factors are in play here. Our main problem has been that we haven't been able to shift anyone, I imagine the club wanted to get a few out by now so they know how much they can spend on the few players they want to buy, remember it is quality not quantity this year and we wouldn't want to settle on a weaker RW and then manage to raise some funds and free up wages that meant we could maybe go for someone that we perhaps wanted more. 

 

There are plenty of other teams that have either not done much or are just starting to do more now, I am sure we will see some activity at Newcastle over the next two weeks and we will all end up happy come two weeks or so time.

It doesn't make sense that club don't wrap their business up earlier, but I suppose you could say that about any deadline in life. You don't have to run right up to it but it's hard to resist doing that.

Craving that new embedded tweet hit around these parts.

It's been a poor window so far - but confident we'll get someone in

[Rocker]

Any new rumours flying around?

[Sima]

It's the Bowyer/Anita window all over again so far.

To be fair there's not much happening anywhere is there?

Clubs around us have significantly strengthened imo.

[The Prophet]

I wouldn't say significantly, but there's a fair amount of business being done by those around us for sure.

My god the Chronicle headlines on Newsnow are complete bullshit. Refuse to click them these days. Football365 has been taking the piss, but it's sad how much Reach has destroyed local press. But suppose you can't complain if the public won't pay or click for proper journalism.

[LFEE]

Logan Costa looks a bit of a beast mind. Not sure how fast he is but seems to have good anticipation and great range of passing. Might be worth a gamble.

Eggs in one basket transfer approach this. Have we no other scouting reports after a year of looking for players?

Incredible people actually think the club rings up journos to tell them who they want......

Have you no immediate evidence of the club literally never doing this since the takeover 

[Weezertron]

Our window has been shite so far, like. Starting the season having only added an understudy striker and a CB on a free (plus however many backup goalkeepers that we never hope to see play). 

 

Chuffed with Hall, but that doesn't strengthen our team from last season. 

 

I'm happy to entertain the whole 'You can't judge until the window is over', but you can't deny the season starting is a significant point to have not signed anyone that improves the first 11. 

 

Hoping it improves.

Especially on the back of no movement in January. I thought we were holding back with a view to strengthening this summer. Instead we've arguably regressed through the sale of Anderson and Minteh, and a couple of players who previously served us quite well - Trips and Wilson - are getting slower and more injury prone.

It is frustrating definitely. I was having a whinge about this last week and got moaned at by others. Thought we would be further along than this. Hope there are a few surprises coming but it's been shite up until now.

[Kid Icarus]

Not to be all 'we tried' but that's definitely applicable this time so far. Having serious money on the table for Olise and Guehi is very different to the Bowyer/Anita summers I've seen this compared to so far. 

I'm still confident we'll bring in 2 signings with one of them being significant.
