Is that for a pre-season tour of Italy ?

Correct! and we've only bought 3 of them...in very patriotic colours mind.

By shocking and inexcusable, do you mean pretty much par for the course across the league?

14 out of the 24 clubs in the Championship have yet to bring anyone in. Of the 10 that have brought someone in, only 4 of those have brought more than one player.

The very last thing it is, is shocking. Apart from last summer I can't remember any summer window under Venkys where we had brought any first teamers in at this stage. There probably are a couple I'm forgetting, but most seasons we've done nothing at this point. If you're shocked by this, you haven't been paying attention.

Edit - looks like my list was a week old, those numbers may not be totally accurate anymore

Don't give a monkey's toss what other Championship clubs do or don't do.

Arguably, we escaped relegation on the last day with a win only because Leicester had nothing to play for and had, probably, been out on the p1ss for several days and nights following them sealing their season at PNE on the Monday night.

I think under Eustace we were dire and got lucky.  If you think that squad does not need major surgery then I think you are dreaming.  To not have at least one new face in by now is I repeat both shocking and inexcusable  given last season's traumas - as things stand. I think we are nailed on certainties for the drop.

There's a thought. Maybe we're doing more cutbacks and the team will travel to games in a series of state of the art Mini Coopers.

Would be quite a site, convoy of 30 minis zooming about the country tbf, new shirt sponsor?

You're putting words in my mouth - I absolutely do think the squad needs major surgery. But if you're shocked by something that happens every year here, and has happened at most clubs in the league this year, you're very, very easily shocked.

Like you, I think we will go down. Because I fully believe we won't rebuild the squad as much as is needed, so I'm not shocked here whatsoever.

[Ghost7]

It must be inspiring as a player to come back to a squad that hasn't been invested in, or that plans to invest late on in the window 🤣

Sidibie is a frigging giant in the Vieira mould, not sure he's anywhere near in terms of playing ability mind

If Hull are interested I don't Imagine we have a chance. Not that there a bigger club, but their owner is ambitious and get things done. We just fuck about trying to get folk on the cheap.

Not really sure why we’d be after another defensive midfielder when we have Tronstad, Travis, Buckley etc…Unless one is leaving.

More excuses from yourself time after time. The fact of it we won and stay up. Get over it now!

no we didn't get lucky at all. 

The squad needs improving and we need signings. I wouldn't called needed 7 or 8 signings as major surgery either. A new keeper, centre back, full back, right winger, 2 strikers is a must. Probably replacement for Sigurdsson if he does leave and maybe a new centre midfielder if someone leaves

Same, no way he starts ahead of Tronstad and Trav won’t settle for the bench, I can see a West Brom/Bristol City coming in for him…2 mill and it’s a deal.

the only way travis gets back in the team is at right back,where he`s quite good,ive never rated him as a midfielder and would`nt want him in there ahead of tronstadt

Id consider basically a new team to be quite major surgery. And needed.

Hes not that similar to Tronstad, he could play next to him.

[Rover8T4]

Trav could be useful, makes some good runs in the right hand channel. Beginning of last season linked up with Britain and JRC well before his injury

Everybody on this board and their dogs already knew this without you needing to say it Chaddy. We could release our entire senior squad on frees and you still wouldn't think we're going down.

I can say with absolute certainty and without needing to ask you, that the last three times we went down, you thought we wouldn't go down.

[Forever Blue]

Eustace is a fan of Travis according to the LT today.
 

I can see him and Tronstad in a 2 man CM.

Got a feeling we could be set up for a 3-4-3 system
