From what I've heard Bristol, but not officially signed yet. Until that point I suppose there's still hope but I wouldn't get hopes up too much.

Hypothetical question as there will be changes. If no one comes in and no one goes out I think we would be looking at probably being in the bottom 3 next season. Interesting to see how opinions will change as we bring players in or players leave. Interested in peoples opinions as things develop. Do you think we will be in deep poop if we don't strengthen properly?

I think every team faces that risk if they recruit poorly-but nobody can really comment in mid June. QPR and Luton have done good business but it's been quiet or so-so from the rest so far.

Well hypothetically yes it would be tough as the squad is weaker with the loan players having returned. But we will strengthen and strengthen Well. I look at the signings made by the likes of Huddersfield, Luton, Hull and Blackpool and would have been underwhelmed if we had signed them. Do I am excited that we are looking and hopefully looking to sign better players of a better calibre than those that have already committed to those teams.

With borroughs,Eccles,bapaga getting closer.A fully fit godden and walker plus Jones back to full fitness we will still be better equipped to stay out of the bottom 3 maybe only just .if we add a bit more quality and another older head or 2 in back up we will be comfortable and get good results.

Nigel pearson a prick and Simpson and king are pushing there sell by dates and u dont know who we have lined up yet so u can't make them kind of assumptions...PUSB
I can see him signing for them to be honest.

We’re talking about Matty James though. Taking the money aspect out of it for a second. Pearson signed him and was central to his team at Leicester, Simpson and King are more than likely mates.
Just becuase you think Pearson is a prick, doesn’t mean his players do

Only hypothetical of course but in response to the posts above about what if we didnt add anyone, i think its nailed on that we would be relegated. Probably even bottom

I’m not sure how many on here listen to “The Price of Football“ podcast. This week they had the agent Tony Sharkey and he was reporting that clubs are currently offering contracts at 25-30% lower than previous years. Additionally, clubs in Championship have been financially hit hard .
Itll be interesting if we might offer a longer contract to players we are interested in, if the rate of pay is we offer is lower than other clubs. So giving players more security

Exuded calm - I like him, but wouldn't break the bank for him. Keeper, centre back, lwb and striker(s) more crucial.

Been saying this on various threads for weeks now this close season is going to be very different new contracts are going to be reduced significantly and we ain’t seen nothing yet this seasons budgets are based on last years accounts the worst is yet to come next year so called “top” end clubs Bristol City, Stoke, Blackburn, Forest, Derby all fancied for promotion last season down amongst “the others” I believe our division has levelled out which could be good for us because of Robins/Viveash

Definitely not time to panic on the lack of signings front. We know we were in for Collins and Paterson, two players who would improve the squad, and the starting XI in the case of Paterson. We also know we’ve reached out re Gilmour. All signs of positive intent.
We also heard from Boddy directly that things are happening.
Plus we are fairly sure Sheaf and Dinanga have signed.
And it’s the Euros so it’ll slow things down.
And overall it’s a very different market this year and more of a buyers one, which may have an impact on players speed in agreeing terms.
