Let's focus on the use of 'hope' and avoid 'WHERE ARE THE TWO PLAYERS YOU PROMISED MOWBRAY?' posts in the next few days.

I expect the Telegraph to run their weekly story that we are 'closing in' on two targets before the Southend game.

How can you say he has kept his word when he simply hasn't done anything. He'll have kept his word when we bring in some more quality signings before the window closes.

If he's said we wait until the window closes so Prem teams have their squads before we act. He hasn't kept his word until the event has happened.

Before the season started I doubt if TM had any more idea how we would start than most of us on here.
He had just watched his team give several mediocre performances against lower league opposition without scoring goals,
and I expect he was as worried as us, maybe even more so.
But the addition of Armstrong, and to some extent, Murphy has transformed us, scoring 11 goals in 5 games and scoring in every game. So now he is probably thinking of holding onto his money as long as possible unless someone exceptional becomes available.
I am sure he has highered his sights since we started the season, and he probably recognises that the loss of 2 key players needs addressing with different players to what he thought he needed 1 month ago.
If we can get to January with cash in hand I think that will give us a good advantage over most teams.

Apparently he doesn't exist and was just a scenario created by TM which was taken out of hand

thing is tho, several other teams are taking champ players on loan and some of them look half decent. I'm happy TM doesn't broadcast his signings til they're done, but a bit of activity would sooth the nerves no end.

If he brings in 0 Champ loans and gets two or three more quality loanees like Armstrong, I'll be happy.

No certainly not. I want him to stick with what he has done so far and that is to source good players and if they are not available wait until they are.

Panicing and signing anyone who happens to be available is false progress. There is still the loans window and then a window in January to add depth to the squad. 2 year job it hasn't changed.

Rich, I guess that's your name and not your life's condition, although I hope it is. Why are you taking everything TM says as gospel fact? I really hope he isspinning a yarn because quite honestly if I was being interviewed by Alan and Andy, Clive and Geoff, Simon Gilbert or any other of that motley crew I would feel the necessity to lie my ass off.
I would have a field day and tell them we are signing this player or that, why? Because they frigging deserve it. They are as bad as CCC, ACL, SISU and Thomas the tank regime.

AND THE SOONER WE ALL JUST SEE THE FUNNY SIDE OF IT ALL THE BETTER. We deserve better than what we CCFC fans have to put up with, and I for one love TM because he doesn't take the whole damn thing seriously.

Placed in one, not born in one. I doubt a pregnant woman could be reported as climbing into an animal trough to give birth!

He may be being interviewed by those listed but he is speaking to the fans. I presume he isn't bullshitting the fans?

Being a moderator means that one can't voice ones own opinion?

Wouldn't mind a right back on short term loan and of course a target man permanently. That would do me nicely. We can see how Murphy and Swanson get on before worrying about wingers.

I see TM mentioned there are a number of triaists at the training ground that he's worked with in the past..

I guess one is the guy from Malta...
