that definitely rings true, we also slipped down the table after signing Fabio, which beggars belief really.

I understand everyone's panic re no incomings but I actually understand why we're binding our time. While the club have been able to assume with a bit of confidence that Philogene and Greaves are going, until they do it's not a 100% guarantee. If you knew you were likely to have a pot of money coming, the sensible thing would be to wait until that was in the bank before spending it. Yes, we could gamble (with confidence) and have brought players in, free agents or a transfer fee but there would always be the risk that we spend all of our money on those signings, the outgoings fall through (or go at the very last min) and we have to scrap the barrel to fill the squad as we used all our headroom. We might have the room to bring in a couple of C calibre players before the outgoings but following the sales we could bring in B or even A calibre players. You could bring them in early but risk compromising on the overall build. Once the main outgoings happen I think we'll see a flurry of activity. If we sign no one by the end of the month AND Philogene and Greaves have gone then I would worry. PS. The friendlies in Turkey seem to have played a party in the Acun/Rosenior breakdown. Surely Acun will want to players in so those games in Turkey are competitive?
I'll laugh it is someone like that and people try to claim we couldn't risk signing him before selling Greaves.
Respectfully this is rubbish. You could bring one or two in and not risk much. We are literally down to Roary the tiger getting a run out from the subs bench
It's logical to say we can't sign a third string striker in case we don't get enough from Greaves' sale?
