6 teams not made at least one signing so far.

Crewe
Coventry
Doncaster
MK Dons
Portsmouth
Sheff Utd

Preston lead the way with 12 signings.

MK Dons have earmarked 5 new signings to enable them to "make an automatic promotion push"

Crewe have 4 million following on from Powell going to Man Utd

Sheff Utd, released a fair few players following on from not going up

Pompy down to 14 1st teamers

We might not have signed anyone, but 12 is just rediculous!

Not as ridiculous as 21 going the other way.

I can't be bothered to keep up with it as I don't really like league football anymore, but have Preston just simply gone and signed Westley's old Stevenage team?! He's a right old rogue that bloke.

Their squad was more massive than Staines, though.

Whats to say those who have signed players have strengthened?

Plus Crewe dont have 4 million to spend on players it will more than likly keep them going for 3 years.

Well, youd like to hope as a fan that you either sign a player who will stengthen a position or at worst, will strengthen your squad

why sign someone who wont add anything to the squad ?

I wouldn't be surprised, I was away last week and wondered if I had missed anything. So 24 months is it? and counting and still no sign of anything other than one way traffic..............I'd settle for 4 decent loan signings, surely we would offset the cost of their wages with fans stepping forward with renewed optimism to buy more ST's??

They havent signed anyone YET

They have earmarked 5 new signings, indicating they will make them, as a result, they WILL be strengthen in the very near future

That make sense ?

AT has earmarked players. He is waiting to go BANG BANG BANG. MK Dons have earmarked players. Are they waiting to go BANG BANG BANG?

Maybe we have players waiting to join us. Maybe they have players wanting to join them. What is there to say that these players will be offered a contract to sign. What is there to say that these players won't get a better offer put in front of them?

I will only take notice of any signings after they are completed. I have not forgotten the King fiasco

Swindon are hoping to re-sign loan pair Jay McEveley and John Bostock. Manager Paolo Di Canio wants to bring in left-back McEveley, 27, on a permanent deal following his release by Barnsley, while Tottenham midfielder Bostock, 20, would return on loan.

Both vey useful at this level.
