I'd have said that was blindingly obvious that we are, wouldn't you?


Dont know ... they are not saying anything ! ( thats my point )



Problem is, i would guarantee it would end up like this:

Club: we are still working to bring in new faces this summer
Fans: very nice! Who did you have in mind to sign?
Club: we'd rather not say because of past reactions to previous announcements that have not materialised
Fans: what a b****y waste of an announcement then! Come one, it's us! Lerrus know what's happening!
Club: no sorry, we prefer to remain tight lipped till the deal is done
Fans: typical Mansfield, always telling us nowt and wasting our time with boring soundbites about nothing!

...eventually, after continued protests by the fans....

Club: Ok, we will give some details as to who might be on the cards for joining us
Fans: Brilliant! C'mon then, lerrus know!
Club: So we are in talks with players X, Y & Z but nothing is guaranteed
Fans: Brilliant about X & Y, so they'll be signing! Why the **** are you talking to player Z, he's a crock of s***e!
Club: We need player Z as he can play in several positions and he's within budget!
Fans: Same old Stags, always doing the cheap cut-price option! I won't support player Z till he's scored 50 goals, even though he's a goalkeeper
Club: Sorry but he's a necessary part of our squad. By the way, player X won't be signing due to personal reasons and we were outbid for player Y by a bigger club in the league above
Fans: But you told us they were signing!!!!!!! You absolute........ :lol:

Even if Rose did go at least we are in a position to get £££££ for a change.

Don't want him to go and doubt he will but if he does it won't be cheap.

Lewis mcgugan's cousin has told me Lincoln and Cov have asked him about joining. Not had any other interest at the minute, would be big £ on wages but possibly realistic?

Id love him here but think he'll end up in league one

Correct - The season is 2 months away and we're still looking to improve the squad. :thumbup:

I would also add that non of the 7 transfer listed players have been announced as finding another club as yet

Yorkshire Stag - can you please stop whining. I’m sure all that can be done is and will involve JR CR and DF. This is about getting the right players

It could be some of the transfer listed players will actually play a part

Just grow up and realise this is about people having to make big decisions and I assume many are being paid by their current clubs

You can’t force players to sign as the in demand players will have to weigh up options

All will be well

Tbf Yorkie, as I recall County signed Grant on loan mid to late July? That suggests there's still adequate time to get decent players in to me

I can't understand why you can't all see that the World Cup is on and obviously we have to wait til it's over to sign our new players.
Keep the faith gents it's not too bad a squad we have.

No, we gave a squad of 20 with 6 transfer listed. Just because they are on the TL does not mean they aren't part of the squad. I vaguely recall Luke Jones being told he could find another club in our promotion season, he stayed and fought for his position and became one of the most influential players in our title win!

Are you sure all 6 will be made welcome as part of the squad ;)

I think we can safely assume from the pictures of Macca signing of the squad in the background, that the listed players are not considered part of the squad.

Actually our squad is currently 27! 7 youth team graduates, 14 contracted and the 6 listed - not sure we have ever had that many players at this stage of the season. Some of the comments on here are hilarious and best read as if the poster was making them in a high pitch, squeaky voice.
