So while you are negotiating for the strikers you want, you would not complete a deal for a good promising CM/CB who is ready to sign? Bizarre; considering we haven't really got a replacement for Fleck and Reda is injury prone. you want it all at once that's your problem.

It is not blind faith, nothing in life is certain. But it does show some people are realistic in that it takes time to build a team especially on a limited budget.

1. We were never going to be bringing in players for fees. It is a positive we have paid a fee at all. 2. Ricketts experience and leadership. Vincelot player in his prime and can take the club forward. Lameiras comes from good football background young with lots of skill and potential...

What's the fixation with this deadline?

You haven't been paying attention have you.

Williams was on big wages at Swindon from the Di Caneo period, Williams in his early season goal glut said he was prepared to take a wage cut. Then the goals dried up and he was dropped to the bench where he was in the play off final. Swindon haven't fought to keep him. That is the trouble...

I think you have just shown what a narrow insight you have on football and how team building works.

I bet he is nowhere near the wages of Williams who you thought the departure of Tudgay would fund. our players aren't paid a lot so even being one of the highest doesn't mean that much.

Forward planning? TM has had to start from scratch the club had no targets or data on players at this level. I think he has voiced his plan very well. The world doesn't follow ideal patterns, everything doesn't just drop in your lap. His experience tells him some of the best deals are to be...

What has Tudgay signed for? He might actually be offering very good value for money in what I suspect he knows is probably his last season. Someone who has the experience to handle a bit of pressure. I don't think Tudgay is here just for what he is going to contribute on the pitch with so many...

So what? We could have signed someone weeks ago and they could be out with a pulled hamstring? Armstrong has had a week with the squad, not long but sometime. I would imagine training around attacking options have been fairly intense this week. If we sign someone tommorrow I doubt they would...

Where has all the pre friendly optimism gone around Madderson and George Thomas? We still have Tudgay and we have added Lameiras and Armstrong who haven't had time to bed in yet. TM hasn't finished recruiting yet. People have swallowed the knee jerk reaction over Waggots comments and...

At this level and with League 1 budgets you would be stupid to ignore the loan market. I think some fans are pre judging because in the past we have used it poorly. TM certainly seems to be taking on people he and his staff have some knowledge about. Some people on here keep banging on about...

Good signing, don't know what all the moaning is about. TM has acknowledged we need options up front so this is not an either or situation. But you sign players as and when the deal becomes available. TM knows what qualities and characteristics he wants and is prepared to wait for the right...

Yes he is, after the event.

Even if we sign someone tomorrow, they would only have friday with the team. Can't see them being in the team, on the bench at best. i don't think anything will happen before Wigan now.

one that gets me is fans focus too much on the ball. The important work is done off it. Sometimes that backward pass is due to the lack of options and movement rather than the ball players lack of vision. If you are going to gamble on a forward ball it has too at least make it difficult for...

Pie n peace, good luck for the season. I think Wigans achievements have been fantastic even with Whelans money.

Have your fans accepted that financial reality or are they like some of our fans who think it is their right that the owners should fund regardless to achieve success? Their suggested transfer targets are usually over rated has beens or simply players who are just not on our financial radar.

who is the 'their' though? Who moved us to Northampton? I think that was more Seppala and Fisher.....not Waggott. I see Waggotts weakness (and it is only an opinion) has been in sourcing players. Mowbrey has removed that responsibility from him, but has acknowledged his ability in sorting...
