I still think there will be a few surprise signings that the papers haven't got hold of yet.
Everyone's focused on the big money signings like Anderson Rogers etc. We're going to be looking in the £30m bracket which, let's face it, isn't going to gather the same attention and the fact it's us, no one really cares about us anymore.
I think it'll be like Kdh when he signed last season and no one saw that coming, I didn't know too much about him and thought we could've got a better signing but I'm happy to be proven wrong as he's been class.

I wonder if our business is being held up by potential sales. If someone like Ndayie pushes for a move, then our budget would change significantly, and we may then sign different players that are more expensive?
{Ed025's Note - it could be that JB, or it could be that we are very dozy as always with our transfers and we are looking for bargain basement deals at the last minute, then buy 3- 15 year old kids who wont be ready for 8 years and a couple of over the hill has-beens and declare it a success, sorry for not being overwhelmed at this point guys..

Surely things are gonna turn toxic pretty quickly this season if we haven't got a rb in place? Just a thought. No Branthwaite means Keane and Tarky, obviously, Myko as lb seems to have been forgotten about.
And if we are so lucky as to create a chance, it will be Big bad Barry or Beto to finish it. I'd be amazed and absolutely gutted if we are not trying to sign a new striker.
{Ed025's Note - you have got my juices flowing now SARB.. :)

The Club said at the beginning they would try to balance incoming with outgoing. In any case, it will take at least another year or two before the Stadium starts accruing significant revenue in the plus column. Our owners' team are doing an excellent job and getting better.

He doesn't seem to like Aznou either, I thought he did okay against the Scots. Mind you, I didn't see anything from Dibling but others thought he was the gnats. What do I know.

Completely agree on the stadium revenue point, these things take time.
Nice to see a realistic view point. ??

The naming rights, higher match day income and new sponsors will all be having a positive impact already and this should only improve. We still have to balance the books, of course, but fully expect to see several outgoings and incomings. Fully understand the frustration that more haven't come in already, but realistically, how many Prem teams have finished their business? I'd say none.
