Who are we waiting on confirming nothing is happening? Rich Sharpe?

and we didn't get the players in we needed despite the fact we've had all summer to try to do so.

Bottom 4/5 squad.

The squad is good enough to stay up Rev, particularly with a loan or two before the end of the month and staying up is the only aim this season.   Bottom line is nobody knows what the budget is, who we've been after or why deals have failed to be done.  The players mentioned on this thread may not have been of interest to Mowbray so he's hardly missed out on then.   Glad that Mowbray hasn't paid over the odds for players in a market that is inflated beyond belief.  One or two loans gives those players the chance to prove their worth before we actually buy them.

For £5m I’d prefer it if we had heard of him. Or that he was more than a 19yo ‘prospect’. The English Premium?

This doesn’t feel like ‘good business’. Not if Dack was £750k.

Seems an awful lot of money.

It certainly does seem a lot of money. I personally don't believe it.

Already happened. Andy Bayes tweeted that was it for permanent signings.

Or those players prove their worth too much and either get brought back by their parent clubs or sold on to a club who can pay a higher transfer fee and pay bigger wages

Bottom line, we've signed no one.

Wouldnt be that bothered if Tony hadn’t talked about 4/5 new players after Armstrong.

Ooops.

[Gordon Gekko]

Massive piss take! Can’t believe I fell for the nonsense that we were actually going to sign some players.

I actually meant, he said"that was it for permanent signings today"

That is the kind of thing said after one or two have come in...not after signing absolutely nobody.

Our powder must be as dry as a bath mat in Burnley by now.

Exactly this. Mainly Rich Sharpe, Bayes etc. yet we didn’t get even one more over the line after Armstrong. Seems to me we’ve waited until the 11th hour to put in bids for players that we’ve had no chance of getting. What have we been doing for circa 3 months? Very disappointed and underwhelmed yet again. Oh well, our powder will be dry for January when we’ll likely be up shit creek after Graham gets crocked.

Why does it feel like you're enjoying this a little too much?

It is slightly disappointing but the time to spit your dummy out is if no meaningful activity occurs before the end of August. 

Lots of people seem to be talking about today as if that's it for transfers 'til Christmas - clearly this isn't the case,

[Bepeja43]

Look forward to going through all this again on 31st of August.. And we will you know.
