Firstly, it was inevitable that Cam was gonna have his release clause triggered this window, as there have been multiple championship clubs interested for a while, and it should've been obvious by his refusal to sign OUFC's recent offer, that if the clause was triggered, he'd be off. So planning ahead, and bringing in genuine competition/cover for his position would not only have been sensible, to provide competition for him, should he stay, and the rest of the midfielders, but it would've meant we had a ready made replacement for him, should he leave, and we wouldn't now be in desperate need of TWO first team midfielders 2 days before the first game of the season.
Secondly, if he has players in mind, why doesn't KR want to do anything 48 hours before our first game?? It's this kind of mindset that lets other clubs get ahead of us in the queue for these players, and get their claws into them first!
And lastly, KR saying he has players in mind doesn't fill me with confidence, given the fact that he brings in so many players who are either injury prone, crocks, or players who have barley played for 2 years, and so far off match fitness, that they need their own "mini preseason" just to get up to speed, and knowing him, he'll probably just bring in another bloody winger!
