Wizzer Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Seems very strange that we are less than 2 weeks away from the season and by his own comments he is still a keeper, midfielder and striker short and there is no whispers looks like we will be going down the loan route for a striker, unless he feels rueben and smith are the answer with feeney and brooke backing them up Is Euan Holden likely or was that never on the cards?

MaskedOwl Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 like the chief scout said on the fishul this week...there are several stages when getting players in and takes a long time. for all we know we could be very close to wrapping up a deal/s. my positive post for the week.

It's a tad perplexing that we have not signed that striker/midfielder/defender - would have expected to have one or two of the trialists signed on by now on a one year deal. It is getting close to the season's start and maybe the solution will be a loan signing. I believe we will see a signing after the Burnley game. My one fear with an already small squad is that Taylor has a blinder against Burnley and they put in a bid - time to rest CT I think....

What are Smith , Mvoto , Diamond Morais and Reid then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzer Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 I understand who we have signed but after those 4 signings you mention Dickov himself has said there are more signings to come Yes i agree signing a player is a drown out process which is why you normally hear rumours!!

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 How long before the start of last season was it when the Tank and Big Jean signed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 How long before the start of last season was it when the Tank and Big Jean signed up? Tonk and Mvoto signed on 4th or 5th August 2010. Season started 7th August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The signings that PD said we would make are probably loan signings so it will be August next week before we get them !!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 after watching the burnley game, i'd say we need a couple of midfielders, a striker and a keeper. that fernandez looks ok but would get too many yellows and would need someone else to fill in, maybe someone who could also play wide to provide back-up for morais and taylor. and smith and reid could work but would take time and maybe a loanee with a bit of pace to run onto smith's endless flick-ons. not far away from a decent team.

lancy lad Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This is all getting very confusing with Wizzer and Wozzer posting on the same thread? As for signings, chill out there is still plenty of time. I would guess (and very much hope) we will bring in 1 or 2 permanently and a couple of loan signings........... watch this space!

slystallone Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I've said it before; most Prem sides are currently away on tour with squads of 35+ players.....their respective managers will be making decisions about who they are keeping; who they wish to sell and who they want to loan out everyday - and when they start to return home; deals will start to kick-on a pace. Going off what PD managed to achieve last season in the loan market - we'll once again be looking at some promising kids from Prem sides, so I would imagine (& hope!!) That these loan deals will be announced over the next 5-10 days. The window is still a while off closing so there really is plenty of time before we need to start panicing IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This must hurt sign your target early and bad injury. Didn't we have a similar story with Beckett a few years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
