gibbo7 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I may be mistaken but many a time through last season it was mentioned that the team spirit built by having such a great tour with everyone there due to early signings was a key reason for our success!! If this was to case, which it was stated why would you not pay a little extra during the start of the transfer window and replicate the business model of last year?

If this was to case, which it was stated why would you not pay a little extra during the start of the transfer window and replicate the business model of last year? I thought the general consensus from last season was that because we were assured of promotion so early it meant the management team had a head start on identifying targets for this season. Maybe it's a different ball game at this level to coax promising youngsters to enhance their careers with what is yet an unknown quantity at this level. Still a bit of time left yet but agree the squad is looking small on numbers at the moment without even considering quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Not every one of the new signings were on tour though?! There's goes that logic, if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Agard... annnnd.... Agard and the loan signings. None of which seemed to have a problem integrating into the squad. In an ideal world, I've no doubt SC would have liked more business done by this time, but it's not that easy. It certainly won't derail our season.

Up The City! Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 The problem is we are no longer the big fish. We may have our targets but we are probably way down on the list of clubs they want to join. There is so many factors such as other players moving before we can secure our targets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I just know that if we do struggle this season this is the stick that some people will use to beat the club with, we failed to bring targets early enough to intergrate them in pre-season. Just as very thing good was heaped on Botswana, everything bad will be blamed on Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as very thing good was heaped on Botswana, everything bad will be blamed on Portugal. And that would be a justified reason, if we do struggle this season, but I'm absolutely convinced that's it's not been for the want of trying to get quality players in. As long as out targets have been ambitious but realistic, then I can live with that. It's better that dishing out 3 year deals to 6-7 sub standard players or has been names, which would dump us firmly back in the position we were in 2-3 years ago. I do t think I've ever had as much trust in the club to be doing the best that it can do. If it doesn't come off, then I hope plan B isn't a panic solution.

Big C Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Ok it is probably a good thing to get players in as early as possible but it also not a complete disaster to get players in at the last minute. If it was that much of a drawback why are so many deals done on deadline day? People should stop panicking and enjoy the sunshine as its raining tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 We have a first 11 that are used to playing together as a team. As long as late signings have done a decent pre-season they can bed in once the season is underway. Obviously preferable to get players in early, but hopefully this means we are waiting for premier league squads and top championship squads to settle so we can capture our targets. These teams will have their 'Greg Cunninghams' that'll suit us fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
