Well this is all very predictable, not a pot to piss in, waiting for handouts from Premiership club and billionaire owners.

You can keep changing the manager and his direct reports, but we need a change in ownership or this continues season after season after season.........

Venkys Out!

This post will get a like from me at the end of the window if like you say no money is spent. 

For now il take JDT'S word for it that money is available and we are trying to bring in quality.

The Venkys out part il like now

Jesus, get a grip. Just because we don't come out telling the world our targets doesn't mean stuff isn't going on behind the scenes. Still got 5 weeks until the window closes.

Magloire left the club for Northampton on a permanent deal.

[Cordoba]

Magloire permanent move to Northampton confirmed, undisclosed fee. Good for all parties, never looked like he was going to make the grade at this level

Is there not a case to say that three or four weeks into the season is not the best time to be doing your transfer business?

He looked shot to pieces away at Blackpool last year.  Felt sorry for him in the end.  Can't see him ever making it above League 1 at best.  Good luck to him, hope he can have a fresh start.

In an ideal world yes but this summer was always going to be difficult with the new team only just being in place. In reality JDT hasn't seen any of the players in a competitive match yet.

We seem to have a plan of the system JDT wants to play and the additional players needed to make it a success which is better than most seasons. It's just going to take time to get the players in within our budget.

Magloire wouldn’t get a game in my Monday night 6 a side league so I’ll be impressed if Northampton decide he’s anything but hopeless. Good luck though, young man!

Looking at Twitter their fans rate him and are happy with the deal.

I can't say I watch much League Two football, but I assume he can get by with his pace down there.

WIth Magliore deal confirmed I hope that's a sign someone may be coming in, dare I dream.....

Can’t see a correlation there I’m afraid, if it was a one in one out policy half of this message board wouldn’t be having panic attacks at our lack of business

Me neither.

It is pleasing that JDT / Broughton have watched Magloire play / train for a month and thought "Nope", though.

You're probably right, but then again we're now left with only three senior centre backs, one of them is Carter and another can't be trusted to stay fit.

 

I know we have Phillips too, but it does leave us particularly short. I wonder if it's because we're close to bringing one in.

Squad numbers are in, notable absentees: 

Number 5 (CB)

Number 6 (CB)

Number 8 (CM)

Sometimes people just have their own numbers and the traditional numbers don't get filled, however I would hold out hope that Morton wouldn't take 8 so assume they want a big/decent midfield signing.

If I allow myself to dream, people don't seem to like that round here, then JPVH can have the 5 shirt and become the new Big Col.

They don't mean anything.

Wharton is 16, Brereton is 22, Dack is 23 etc, whilst Edun is 7. 

If Edun is a starter this year we're in trouble.

Wonder what number our other CM signing is going to be. And our other forward. 

Still need 5 in my opinion!

They certainly do in this case.

We know we’re going to sign a CM and 2 CBs and the traditional numbers for them positions are untaken. 

Just helps reaffirm our recruitment priorities.

No Butterworth on the list. Have i missed something about him leaving?

Not seen anything but neither him nor Brown have a squad number, so guessing a move for each is lined up

[Angry_Pirate]

Call me a traditionalist, but would it have killed Wharton, Buckley, Markanday and Travis to take numbers in the first XI. 

I get Brereton-Diaz and Dack have "brand worth" with 22 and 23. But Markanday could be #7, Buckley #8, Wharton #5 or #6, and our captain not "down" at #27.

Edun, JRC and Dolan rocking top XI numbers is vomit worthy (if numbers meant anything!)

Maybe we have 3 more of these quality signings to come in and take the remaining 3.

Worrying if it took them a month to fathom that out!

[Tom]

The fact that Butterworth is absent from the squad numbers shows he is off any day now

The last manager offered him a new contract.

Baby steps.

If Tyler Morton is our CM option then god help us.
