Yep we're fine with half a squad. Let the season begin tomorrow.

Stupid comment of the week. Nothing on I follow, we must be done

I get that we are being less public this time round with targets etc but I do think the total lack of any updates from the club is poor...

Nah think they've just given up. Olejnik has been trained up to be a pacy winger.

I’ve bit my tongue over this but it’s now getting really close to pre season and the lack of activity is worrying. What’s the point in going Portugal if the squad isn’t together

If you include the transfer listed and youth graduates, our current first team squad is 27! I remember at times our squad at this stage of the season was 6 :lol:

I'd say part of the issue is the 6 listed players need to find new clubs to make room for new players, but I am absolutely certain the club is working on getting the squad together as soon as possible whilst at the same time learning from the mistakes clearly made last summer.

Fatboy’s hyper-activity last summer didn’t exactly work out, did it?

I’d rather have facts than rumours any day. When there are some facts, we will get to know.

I could understand the anxiety if we had a squad of 6, but in terms of numbers I suspect we have rarely had as big a squad at this stage of the summer! Sit back and trust in our owner and manager and enjoy the World Cup :D

What lack of activity ?
Just because you don’t hear about it, that doesn’t mean that there is nothing going on.

When you need to know, you’ll be told.

By lack of activity i think we can infer that he means lack of announced new signings. Doesnt mean nothing is happening behind the scenes but its time we had some output from our negotiations. I agree with him we need players in.

What do you want?! DF to sit down and waste time doing an interview to say hello were trying to sign some players. ITS FLIPPING OBVIOUS THATS WHATS HAPPENING.

If you really think the club aren't trying or going to sign anyone else because they're not giving you hourly updates then bloody hell how sad can you be.

Be patient.

Read on here that his last comments were made after the last game on the 5th of may . There is a big difference between hourly updates and a 7 week stretch with no comment from the manager . For what its worth i agree with you regarding pointless interviews but a manager should be trying generate interest and pushing up season ticket sales with statements far more frequently that Flitcroft currently does .

No, it states clearly that the “lack of activity is worrying”

Nothing to infer there. It’s explicit.
