We are well behind where we need to be with recruitment.
Less than a month now to be prepared for the new season and the squad is currently nowhere near ready to compete.
Need to see at least a couple of signings by the start of August...
Sounds like we’re going all out for McAtee/Kubo doesn’t it. My one concern is us waiting around for an answer from them only to then be in a sticky situation if they don’t come to fruition.
Completely agree, could be some really embarrassing scoreline against teams operating at a similar level to us. Bit disappointed that they’re going over with such a tiny squad tbh.
Blimey, not taken today’s pre-season result too well then.
We all know it’s frustrating mate but this is a full on duvet, sheet, mattress and pyjama soaking

Are we back to the old, the bad signings are the responsibility of the person im not a fan of and the good signings are from someone else.
Its like we didnt have a decade of Moyes here already...i mean of all people, we dont need advice of a...
Still relaxed tbh. Confident with Moyes at the helm. Always found the 'dithering' tag ridiculous tbh, y'know, seeing as he was absolutely second to nobody when it came to his transfer nous. Of all the things you could level at Moyes, having a go...
I think Kubo also brings that unknown excitement as well.
We’ve had far too many plodders we all know what we was getting when we signed them such as Jack Harrison
Unfortunately think I share this pessimism. The usual cadence of a deal is personal terms agreed - fee agreed with club and then medical. Steps 1 and/or 2 would have had to have happened in the last 7 days or so possibly allowing for a player to...
