It's a damp start, with light showers looming in the West Midlands
Excellent post that hits the nail squarely on the head.Right now, with less than 24 hours of the window to go, our squad is weaker a month into the season, than it was at the start of the season. But yeah, anyone who points that out is a pant-wetter

It really isn't, but I get your point regarding a striker!
How isn't it? We have bought nobody in since the start of the season and have let several players go, leaving us with one recognised striker in the squad. It's significantly weaker as it stands.It really isn't, but I get your point regarding a striker!

I think the pant wetting reference, well as far as i'm concerned anyway, is the constant over reaction every time something doesn't go our way transfer wise or it doesn't happen fast enough. all i ever see on here when the slightest thing doesn't your our way is..FFS..sort it out Jeff.. why are we messing around... and all this stuff. It's like some people think our lot are sat there playing cards and drinking beer instead of trying to sort it out.
Do some of you honestly think they couldn't be ***** to do anything about it? we don't know what's going on in the background, but i'd bet they're working at it full tilt.
its one thing bellyaching about Moxey and Morgan, but to start having a go at this lot after what they've delivered seems a bit childish and the window hasn't even closed yet.
It's no point stockpiling strikers that don't score.
It's also bad for morale having bodies around the place that realistically weren't going to add anything to the team and weren't even going to get in the squad.
I do agree we need strikers and quick though.
It's all about opinions...
Love this optimism....started to rain here in mid Wales but my pants remain dry. i am still not worried, i think the transfers have already been done and are delaying the announcement for the fun of it
Two points - (1) using "our squad is weaker than it was at the start of the season" is ridiculous - basically we brought in loads of players before the season started, and since then we have let some go. Someone posted the other day about our squad being huge. It is. It is just - currently - light on strikers.
(2) None of you know that we are "scrambling around for strikers". We are surely in the process of trying to get signings over the line, but that doesn't mean we are "scrambling around".
when I said 'on here' I meant the mix in general, not this thread in particular, I should have made myself clearer.Please point out the overreaction on this thread. The argument "clearly they're doing something about it" means that this entire forum is completely defunct. We can't influence anything that we talk about on here - but we do, because it's interesting. Not one single person thinks Fosun aren't doing anything, what a lot of us are thinking though, is that there doesn't seem to be much of a plan. Which is a perfectly reasonable reaction to the current situation.

I've got no idea what you mean by the forum being defunct by the "clearly they're doing something about it" argument.
I suppose the meat and bones of it come down to you lot thinking there doesn't seem to be much of a plan as you say. Why do think they haven't got much of a plan?
Whats his name again?
Still under 11 hours to go I just don't get the hysteria among some the club want signings and I'm 100% sure with fosun that signings will happen in that time frame.

Just because we appear to be making enquiries, putting bids in and some deals aren't happening doesn't mean we're panicking because we've got no plan.
If we're still in this position at 11.05 tonight, you're argument will be much stronger.
Anyway let's sack this for now GNL, we've had our say and I'm sure we'd both like to keep an eye on the proceedings and not be squabbling on here ok mate.
Right, I've wet myself, I need to go and change my pants.
