Pointless and boring this thread may be to daveu, life can be unkind at times. Anyhow daveu I am not really panicking but 2 players were 'strongly rumoured' to be turning up at the club yesterday to sign contracts. What happened ? No idea ! Is there fine contract tuning taking place, is the club about to make an announcement or are the deals dead in the water ? Time will tell but time is of the essence. Not yet it isn't, neither legally or grammatically. OH YES IT IS !

No time Toulouse. Python - showing my age.

So, with Richards and WDH both leaving, am guessing that means a net loss in players, again. Just saying, Captain Mainwaring.

This has turned into the most pointless and boring thread ever. Just everyone stop worrying and trust the club to get it right. Here's an idea, if all you're gonna post is yet another thing about how you're either panicking or not panicking or claiming not to be panicking when you really are, then how about not posting it. We've seen hundreds of the same post, I think we all know by now who's panicking and who isn't. Christ I keep visiting this thread hoping there might at least be some strong rumours or speculation only to find yet another repeat of something I've already read 100 times. The reason we are constantly bantering which each other about panicking and not panicking is because we don't have any new signings to talk about! Not even rumours, just news of other clubs signing players we may have fancied but missed. When we sign someone, we can talk about that. Its just not happening very often yet!

The fact BW seemed to think we had two in the bank and a third last week, you’d have thought by now they’d have been announced. Ashs tweet probably gives a fair bit away in that things probably haven’t gone to plan with targets escaping our grasp.

Another post to frustrate daveu
The problem is with the days slipping away, it is really beginning to look that expected recruitment targets have failed to materialise. Not sure that Oliver's tweets will have done much to increase confidence. Have we missed out in some first choice signings ? Are the number of available quality players increasing? Is no news good news ?

That KOL article makes depressing reading. I know it's history and we're starting again, etc, etc, but it still pisses me off what went on last season. Going down wasn't inevtable, and in the early days could have been avoided (eg like Dover!). But the chaos just spiralled out of control.

While disappointing to see names we might have liked going elsewhere, more important is that those who eventually come here can play together. Personally, have no idea who might be good in NLS, but it would be nice to start having some names to hear about.

Not panicking, of course.
But we have just over three weeks to the first PSF, and we currently have (I think) a squad of just 7. Not sure of the rules for friendlies, but as the ref has to stop a game when you're down to 8 players, techically we don't actually have enough players to even start a game (never mind what the result would be!).
Assuming the minimum squad is 11 players, plus five on the bench, we need at least 16 players by early July - more than twice the 'squad' we have now. Or, to put it another way, we have to recruit a minimum of three players each week for the next three weeks. And then another five or six before the start of August.
Not impossible, of course, but we could be forgiven if some of us started to feel just a little panicky...

For christ sake give it a rest. Wake up to reality DaveU. JS2s big selling point was new recruitment which he’s been doing since March and look where we are at - THATS the issue. It’s very disappointing. Not panicking as yes we still have just about enough time but a growing number on this forum are expressing understandable concern. One day of five signings and we may be all ok again, but it’s still disappointing that’s its been such a struggle, and that’s a fact. Of course if we have a great year next year allthus will be forgotten but right now even what’s coming out of the club is cause for concern if not yet panic.

The “growing number” is about 5 people. Every time there’s a post, I think there’s news, but it turns out to be your daily drivel. You don’t know how it all works or is working
