Sheff Weds set to sign Michael Ihiekwe and Michael Smith from Rotherham
Were we beaten by mkd for Hollands return, or for B.Rivers latest signing who we were allegedly after?Sometimes we will be beaten by other clubs due to finances or the players personal desire to play in the championship for example. no matter how hard we try. I’m comfortable with that as it shows we’re going for players that clubs we want to be competing with are as well.
Now, Now, you're assuming I felt he should have been given a chance this season, as I was concerned that this transfer window would be as much of a let down as others had been.But how long do you think KR will last B4 Christmas or after Christmas
The trip to Spain has distorted the importance of getting transfers in so early . Its only because the training ground is being improved therefore out of action.Still struggling to understand why people think the timing of the trip to Spain has any significance or gives us any reason to be nervous. It was probably booked around Christmas time before we even knew who was filling the seats from the existing squad let alone anybody new.
The fact there are no new signings by the time the plane departs bears no significance outside of the fact we know this was probably the cheapest week in pre season to go! And there is still a season to prepare for so if there are suggestions KR stay here to sign players, you’re more interested in a transfer headline than you are actually winning games next season.
Nope, would have been the same for me. Having players available for a full pre-season I feel is important no matter whether it's Spain or Horspath Road.The trip to Spain has distorted the importance of getting transfers in so early .

If we were training as per usual I'm sure the clamour wouldn't be quite as bad .
How many teams have you seen not sign anybody after pre season starts? 9/10 teams will sign someone after the full season starts. It’s not all about us.Nope, would have been the same for me.

When have I ever claimed that the start of preseason is the absolute cut-off date for signings? Of course we'll be bringing players in, as no club ever gets all their business done before the first day of pre-season. But there's a big difference between not having all signings completed in time for pre-season vs none.How many teams have you seen not sign anybody after pre season starts?
And who’s to say we haven’t got new players out in Spain?
Am I right I thinking that makes us the only L1 club not to have made a signing in this window?
Good signing from Pompey
I would be surprised. Like most on here I would think that Oxford saw Holland as decent back up to BrowneWere we beaten by mkd for Hollands return, or for B.Rivers latest signing who we were allegedly
Sheffield Wednesday showing that ambition. As I keep stating. There's saying. And there's doing. We are world beating at the former..Sheffield Wednesday will do well to not get promoted with their signings.
Stockdale, Ihiekwe, Heneghan, Vaulks, Smith.
Or just one even!just 1 or 2 signings wouldve made a world of difference at this stage.
