Well I know Preston have completely revamped their squad, don't think many other teams have signed players yet though.

stu , i think kg82 was asking generally and not arguing the point, so you've either misunderstood his question or you have totally over-reacted.

Misunderstood it I hope! Suppose I'm so used to people on here actually arguing with there own shadow! My point is still valid tho..... Even if they all sign one, it's probably more than we will!

If some are new contracts then you could easily argue we are ahead of the game as we tied up McSheffrey, Bell, Baker & McPake up on new contracts before last season ended!??? Keogh is still under contract and we are discussing terms with Crainie right now, whether we get him to commit is another matter!

Also you have to look at the quality of some of those signings.....Reuben Reid for example has swiched clubs after being released from low/mid table league one side Oldham.....hardly one to make me sit up and take notice......big Ben Burgess very ordinary player, personally would rather we did wait......not that we have much choice at the moment..... and sign quality rather than quantity. As said earlier the season does not start tomorrow it starts in August...let's see where we stand at the end of this month.

Reuban Reid and ben Burgess would both improve our squad

Not in any way saying we should sign them, but when you would rather have reuban Reid than your 2nd choice striker, Sean Jeffers, you know your in trouble

don't want to give off too many negative vibes before the seasons even started but we're already looking like cannon fodder once again. Pants.

He's tussling it out with Roy 'The Goal Machine' O'Donovan for the no. 2 slot. Hibs want ROD as well as McPake, by the way.

I said last July I was alarmed that we were getting left behind. Don't worry threaders said, there's plenty of time. Was there bollocks!! And last year we didn't have an embargo. Let SISU show me the money and I'll show them mine... some hope.

the Transfer window hasn't opened yet. Hopefully we can sort ourselves out and get a few half decent free agents soon. No harm hoping

I would argue that in league 1 rod has a better goals to game ratio than Burgess or Reuben Reid.....?? Happy for someone to look it up and prove me wrong mind!

If you are going to be a panic merchant suggest you list all the players signed so we can see if in reality we are getting left behind......imo I

that's what we are doing, waiting to sign quality. Cool, sneaky tactic pretending it is an embargo when really it is a cunning plan. :)

Ben burgess would be in my 4 strikers he was good for Blackpool in The championship. Prefer him to jefers and Daniels. Younger version of Platt.

He scored 5 goals in 45 for Notts County in League One in two seasons. Far too similar to Clive Platt I think.

I think his role would be to wreak havoc and hold the ball up for us when we are under pressure.

Do you know what his record was for Blackpool. I genuinely don't know.

23 in 126 games - we need someone to get that many in a season

I know, fingers crossed cody can. Just also want another striker on the pitch and 2 hungry and experienced ones on the bench and the the likes of jefferes and Daniels as support. Not part of the main boys

That would take too long going through each club.

If you don't think we are getting left behind then fine, but already there is debate that Ben burgess is better than what we have (Cody aside) so clearly some of the business being done is making other teams in our league more competitive.

Absolutely typical response. Ask a question, get shot down. No wonder I'm posting less on here.

kg82, i did post to stu a couple of posts later than his, that i thought he had misunderstood your question, or he had actually totally over-reacted, but don't post less kg, your definately one of the better posters on here ,so don't lose heart just post more.
