Fuck me you’re a right pessimist. If by the start of the season we haven’t added to the squad then yeah it’s time to worry. I happen to trust the most successful manager we’ve had in years

Im quite literally replying to a guy with inside knowledge saying confidently that there will be no more signings.

That's not what I said though. I said one or two more permanent if we cant free up more wages. We still have people like Mason, Hilsner and Jobello that aren't even in the plans. We will also add to the development squad and add some quality loans. That's not nobody and we already have a few through the door, one signed in January and JJ who will hopefully be like a new signing too. We had terrible luck with long term injuries too last year and those players also now available. I'm confident of mid-table.

He must have been suicidal when Mowbray was here & we had a squad of about 13 a week from the start of the season 2 seasons running

One or two being the rumoured Bright and Györkeres I assume. If we’ve blown the budget and not bothered to improve our weakest area last season (defence) consider me worried.

We will improve the defence. Do you think Robins isn’t aware that he needs to?

Am I talking Greek? If we do that’s fine, however I was responding to the rumour we weren’t going to. Sorry now corrected to we aren’t going to unless we can find someone to sign Jobello, Hilßner, et al, then we might loan someone once the seasons started.

It’s not a rumour though, Rob was giving an opinion. Robins is astute enough to have budgeted for defensive reinforcements

Imagine only posting facts on a forum. This would be a slow and pretty boring place.

Yea but Rob the problem is people hang onto people's words .

I know all sorts of people who deal with people at the club , down to shitty things like Servicing their cars ... yet I can't get any credible information off anybody about signings etc

Yet we have atleast 20 on here who practically work at Ryton by the sounds of it and you're the latest one .

Hardly the latest one. In 10,000 odd posts I've never posted a rumour of anyone coming. All I've said here is dont expect loads of signings unless some go out. It is what I've been told as has any other small snippets I've ever posted that have been factual, but like Chinese whispers it is barely more than an opinion and practically what Robins has himself said on many previous occasions.

This could all be solved if you’d just say whether you’re spouting bollocks like the rest of us or have info to make educated guesses.
Neither really. All i said was my understanding which is only based on what someone else said and not DB or MR but equally I've not suggested anything other than dont get too excited expecting lots of incomings. People practically suggesting we need someone in all positions. We dont need them and cant afford them, nothing that ground breaking either way.

Thats fine, thanks for clarifying. I disagree and think we need three in at the back minimum.

It sounds great to me. Quite tiresome wading through pages of bollocks everyday trying to find if there are any rumours of substance.

It’s just separating the rumours from the opinion that was the issue here. Went from budget is tight (rumour) to we don’t need any defenders (opinion) that caused the confusion.

I welcome all our in the know overlords and am capable of deciding which ones are worth listening to (not that guy with the Arsenal loanee rumour for example)

Yeah, because I'm sure our most successful manager ever would blow our entire budget on non-weakest areas for shits and gigs.

A long way to go man...stop getting worked up by the weird rumour brigade. Things are going on behind the scenes.

Its not surprising - we only really actually signed 4 players last season for the 1st team squad

Going to be a long old season.

A back line of a L1 keeper who has barely played since the referendum, a kid who got nowhere near our first team last season, two players unproven since injury, Fadz but a year older and Hyam who looked out of his depth for large chunks of last season. With backup being a kid who hasn’t played above L2, Pask and Dacosta for five positions.

But hey, at least we’ve signed backup strikers and AMs who refuse to turn up to team meetings.

I’m sure Rob has some knowledge within the club but better days and Russell seem to know more.

Can’t believe we wouldn’t make at least 4 more permanent signings. CB, LB are two places where that’s necessary
