He has almost done it, trouble is they are mainly players that have extended their loans.
Jones, Nouble, Martin.
Not what you were expecting?

Madine has gone back hasn't he?
Hopefully.
I like the way we moan when no one signs then moan at the players who do..

Madine's loan is up on 30th Jan.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30659458
So anyone going to Yeovil can wave goodbye.

Really depends whether that's 4,more before 2nd Feb or 4 in total? Already signed 3!
Unless someone comes in for him on Xfer Deadline day, I suspect he will be back. Hasta la vista, baby.
Maybe there would be much less moaning if the majority of the players SP has brought in were good enough for what we need. Or if he played them in their natural position maybe they could show us what they can do.
Don't you get it? No matter how good the players we get are, Pressley's team formations and tactics will make them look bad.
Ahem, last season?

Nail on head and these are the questions to put to waggottI think people have every right to moan. The loss of talent; even during Pressley's time is astonishing. Just looking at goal-scorers, for example
Pressley joined us in 2012-13 following Robin’s departure. Looking at our top 10 scorers in that season, they were as follows:
David McGoldrick, 18 goals (gone)
Carl Baker, 15 (gone)
Leon Clarke, 10 (gone)
Franck Moussa, 6 (gone)
Stephen Elliott, 4 (gone)
Cody McDonald, 4 (gone)
Callum Ball, 3 (gone)
Adam Barton, 3
Cyrus Christie, 3 (gone)
John Fleck, 3
Of the 65 goals between them, we only still have the two players responsible for 6. So, going into the next season; we really only had three scorers – as after these four, the next highest scorer nailed 3. So:
Callum Wilson, 22 goals (gone)
Leon Clarke, 18 (gone)
Franck Moussa, 14 (gone)
Carl Baker, 10 (gone)
Bearing in mind, not only are we losing firepower, we alsolost in Joe Murphy perhaps the best keeper in the league; Christie, etc. etc.........
Yeah - I think people can look at our squad, look at our league position, and yeah - I think they should moan

I recall mine and Steve Waggott's conversation on Saturday in which he said "We hope to sign 4 players before the end of the window." I assume that means four more as of now.

Reading that post really hits home, it is throughly depressing reading, but very true.
Sorry old lad. I was reading on another thread about the 'Pressley's the second worst manager of all time after Thorn' line being spouted. Couldn't be bothered to argue with it to be frank.
The mind-set that saw us sell leading-scorer Lukas Jutkiewicz whilst staring down the gun of relegation from the Championship and deal with the consequences, simply hasn't changed. It's only when you look at that list; the talent we've lost, and how it hasn't been replaced - or anything even close - that you realise why we are where we are.
Pressley - the latest scapegoat for some - must look at this and feel like suing the club:

I had sympathy with Thorn, whilst he wasn't good enough we had a relegation squad that year and barely even attempt to replace the players we lost.
Now go and create a list of every player Pressley has signed and see how many goals they have scored between them and you will come to the only conclusion possible which is that Pressley isn't a very good manager.
I'm not saying that either Thorn or Pressley are world beaters. But I tell you what everyone in the football world will tell you - keep on selling, or letting go of your best players - will lead to only one place.
And that's - for us - currently a relegation fight not to end in in the fourth, yes fourth, tier of English football
That may be, but when you are analysing Pressleys performance as manager in isolation of everything else its irrelevant, he isn't good enough. Take this hypothetical situation, Pressley is still our manager and we have a new owner, he has bought the Ricoh, he's invested in the first team, academy and anything else you can think of which you would like for a owner to do. With all this, Pressley will still be a rubbish manager because he simply isn't good enough.
Maybe. But in mitigation, the turnover of players is incredible. David McGoldrick, Carl Baker, Leon Clarke, Franck Moussa, Callum Wilson, Joe Murphy, Cyrus Christie, etc all gone since Robin's time - and Pressley only joined in 2013. You can't constantly sell, or lose your best players and - every time - expect to find something just as good, or better. It's impossible.
It's like me telling my Sales Manager that every year he'll lose his best three sales-people from his team, yet expecting he maintain performance. I'd be at tribunal in no time for making his position untenable. What's so significantly different here? Again, hit those two links above; what Waggott says about the Wilson cash, and then Pressley's comment. How can you work like that?
