And of that lot, only really Sheaf is a serious first team player.Since last season that’s 10 out:
Tavares
Bassette
Patterson
Collins
Burroughs
Howley
Sheaf
Rapha
Obikwu
Binks
4 in:
KKH
Brau
Wolfenden
Rushworth
Can still pick up free agents so still time to strengthen. That said if we don’t we are a couple of injuries away from having real depth issues and it’s not been the window we were promised two weeks ago by Doug.
Lots of credit for the purchase of the stadium but to Doug it’s amazing that it’s done. But maybe Austin and the recruitment team maybe need reviewing, we seem to always be scrambling rather than being proactive KKH aside.
Yes they have. You have months to sort this shit out.Have they?
They clearly had a lot of targets, but if clubs don't want to sell / want too much money / player wants to high wages / player gets offered more elsewhere / gets an offer at a higher level, what are you supposed to do?
Sign the wrong players? Massively overpay?
It's disappointing, and it does feel that we're light, but if you're going for players who are going to take you to the next level, then you have to accept that it's going to be more challenging to sign them.

I think they thought it would be a nice surpriseI'm also annoyed that as fans we live for signings don't we, it's a fun thing! We only had fucking 4 all summer and even then they managed to completely buzz kill the last one.
Our socials are absolute shite.
And if for the reasons that I've stated (and more) you can't land the right targets? What then?Yes they have. You have months to sort this shit out.
Pictures all taken this afternoon, why wait until after 9?
Hasn't done for a couple of years now!!I genuinely thought it stayed open after the transfer window???
We can't sign loans anymore, it's the same deadline looolFeeling Doug will change tact on loans and let Lampard move with some of his contacts. It worked for him at Derby so no doubt he will be pushing for the same.
This is the whole purpose of a recruitment team. They should in theory have many many players identified. They have a lot of time to sort this out my friend. They fucked it. We move on.And if for the reasons that I've stated (and more) you can't land the right targets? What then?
Sign the wrong ones?
Probably read it on here. Bloke ain’t got a clueTurner says all business is done
We've let no one go who was going to get any minutes, so relax.Turner saying no more. Genuinely baffled we’ve let 3 forwards go today without 1 coming in

We can't sign any loans until JanFeeling Doug will change tact on loans and let Lampard move with some of his contacts. It worked for him at Derby so no doubt he will be pushing for the same.
We shouldn't be leaving til today really. That's the problem.I reckon one or two fell over today. Also sounds like sheaf was very last minute. Right call to sell still (for him and us). Will be interesting to see where a lot of the young prem lads have gone out on loan
Would have liked a couple more in, but we're no worse off than when we started today.
That's superb tbf
Sheaf has gone. You mean Grimes I think?If anyone apart from MVE or Kitch get an injury. We're fucked.
JDS = Bidwell
Thomas = Lati
Sheaf = Allen
Torp = Eccles
Rudi = ????
EMC = Brau
Saka = BTA
Wright = Simms
Thats a HUGE drop off in quality in EVERY position bar RB and LCB. We all just need to cross everything and hope to fuck we dont get more than 1 injury at a time. Swap out 1 player we could manage. 2 or 3 at once and were fucked.

Como have released Deli Alli.
Frank took him to Everton, but i can't see that really happening...can it ?
I'd recall him just because of that.
