Right, I just want to say I am in no way moaning atall, I understand that we're in the early stages of pre-season and Mogga is waiting for the right signings to come along,
But, do you think it's a little strange that there was the "Tony is back from holiday tomorrow and ready to make his first signing" headline, and then nothing ? Or was he talking about back room staff and tying kids down to longer contracts ?
I'm in no way a pessimist and honestly believe we'll have a team that can challenge by the time August the 8th comes, but with releasing as many players as he did I'm just a bit nervous that if he misses out on his preffered targets we might end up with a rather thread bare squad next season
Am I just worrying too soon or does anyone else share similar views ?
Very early days, if nothing has happened by this time next month then it's time to be a bit concerned but there could be a rush of captures just before pre season training begins again.
Not at all worried at the moment.
They key isn't bringing people in, it's making sure you bring the right people in.
I agree with that statement Otis, of course that has to be a priority. However, I really want to renew my ST and as a senior this year it's a really good deal but for me there has to be some signs of intent to entertain and challenge at the top of the league before I hand over the cash. I bet there are many many more like me who are waiting for that sign.Not at all worried at the moment.

I know of one player he is talking to and the club are just trying to fine tune the budget for each area of the squad, in my opinion he would be a great addition to the squad. This is straight from the player himself so I can't reveal anything until the deal is done if it ever gets done.
Inside rumour, but is quite versatile.....Which position does this mysterious player play in?

No chance. Still plays regularly at Forest doesn't he?Jamie Paterson?
You have to remember as well the sooner you sign them the sooner you have to pay them and at the moment that would be for sitting in their gardens. Say we had contracted 6 players on £2500 per week from the beginning of June that would be a tidy £60,000 ?! for the month !
They are all still all on the piss with McIndoe.....It's worrying when the players who were with us haven't even signed yet either, never mind new signings.
All in a days work for SISU though...
Talking to my wolves supporting mate yesterday he tells me the rumour is that Wolves are going to offer Sam Ricketts a 1 year extention to his playing contract with a view of joining the coaching staff at the end of next season and will be loaned out until the end of next season and we're apparently one of the clubs in the frame to take him on loan.
Isn't Sam Ricketts the player TM try to bring in last season on loan but he chose to go to Swindon Instead? He was definately at Swindon on loan last season just can't remember if this was the player TM was trying to get.
Yes he was. I also posted about this a few weeks back
I think equally there is a factor of managing fans expectations. People are still thinking we are going to sign quality players and get disappointed with who we sign. We need workhorses to get us out of the league with the odd Diamond in the rough from 2nd/non league clubs. Still think people think we aer going to bring in top players in the division we are in.
Must be true then
My mate certainly rates him and thinks he'd do a cracking job and be good at guiding the younger players on pitch at the same time. Can play anwhere in defence too apparently although CB is his prefered position.
It's a shame though as with a couple of meaningful additions would bump up season ticket sales I'm sure
Ricketts and Reda Johnson would be a pretty formidable duo
