Let’s not start ranking posters, it’s not a competition. How do we know you are a quality poster? Objectively, the winner so far is the bloke who knew that Sinclair was going abroad
Won't many of them be playing at Grenoble Road on Saturday?Back home tomorrow then was going to pop over to Gosport on Saturday to watch the up and coming U23/18 play.
There are not many "strong and successful" squads in place. Portsmouth and Sunderland have lost players, others have barely added. As frustrating as it is getting signings across the line, we are a centre back and striker away from a strong squad, especially if we add with a few young loanees.
So we are in exactly the same situation as nearly every other club in the football league, and the next couple of weeks will be when lots of business is done through the league.
No quite a lot out.I might be wrong but I believe every club in League One have now signed 3 or more players, apart from us and Wycombe.
I tend to agree ( unless Mous were to go)I don't think we need 2 centre backs, especially if we go for real quality with the one we bring in. Dickie, new CB, Mous and Jones should be good enough to get us through the season.
As for strikers, one established player (Evans) and one young PL loanee should be enough with the way we play.
Gorrin, Fosu, Berkoe, Allardyce and Sade =5 ??I might be wrong but I believe every club in League One have now signed 3 or more players, apart from us and Wycombe.

Berkoe will be in the first team squad as backup to Ruffels.I might be wrong but I believe every club in League One have now signed 3 or more 1ST TEAM PLAYERS players, apart from us and Wycombe.
Happy now?
No quite a lot out.
It also depends who you include (msnh have signed U23s etc)
I will try and work through it all if I get a chance.
Mous can be in the squad, but primarily as cover for the defensive midfielder position.I tend to agree ( unless Mous were to go)
A club at out level cant pay Mous and not include him.in the squad.
If we had Nelson we wouldn't be too worried about CBs.
Up front one very good striker and a promising young player from PL/ Championship.
It was more the point that other teams may be signing U23 players too which distorts the fact they have signed a few moreI might be wrong but I believe every club in League One have now signed 3 or more 1ST TEAM PLAYERS players, apart from us and Wycombe.

But that will be like having Raglan in the squad never to play. It's a luxury that we certainly shouldn't prioritise.Definitely need two additional centre backs.
If we just get one to play alongside Dickie, and then either of those two has an injury I wouldn't be too happy about Mous or Jones having to play a run of games. We know how Mous performed at CB and I don't think Jones is ready to play more than the odd first team game at present.
This may upset some people but I don't think Jones is anywhere near ready yet. The unimportant cup games and the odd league game yes. But I wouldn't feel comfortable if he had to cover half a dozen league games or so on the trot. Could be asking too much.I don't think we need 2 centre backs, especially if we go for real quality with the one we bring in. Dickie, new CB, Mous and Jones should be good enough to get us through the season.
