I think I’m still scarred by us not managing to sign a striker who could contribute on day one for multiple windows until we got Isidor so I feel like we might just miss out on the business we want to do.

I just would like to see us give ourselves the best chance we’ve got and have most of our business done ready for the season start.

obviously every game is hard but I do feel our opening games could be a real head start for us

We also signed Mayenda in that time.

Just for some context, last summer our first signing was 1st July and was the sub bloody keeper. Second signing wasn’t until 11th July and third wasn’t until 24th July.

And that season started a week earlier than this one. Granted it was a window needing less signings tho

So whilst we want urgency we have to trust it will fall into place.
 
Yeah but he was a one for later. We don’t really have the luxury this time round.

I want to stress I’m not bedwetting I was purely just trying to state I hope we see stuff soon and get the business done for game 1 <laugh>

mind if we get to 10th July and we still haven’t signed an outfield player like last season, then you might see me bed wetting :D

You’re a decent poster mate but you don’t need to torture yourself like this every window. Keep the faith we are fairly shrewd operators in the market now.
 
I’m not saying we aren’t going to sign anyone. My point is we always seem to say “oh we keep things quiet” but we used that excuse all last Jan when RLB said he wanted a versatile forward etc and we ended up with Danns on the final day. I just think sometimes we are a bit slow with our business.

This isn’t me saying we aren’t going to do anything it was just an observation
Don’t think we’re slow I think we’re very big on the deal being right. We won’t overpay and we won’t have the piss taken out of us. That’s what happened in January

I've never understood 'concerns' based on vague predictions ...

... it's no different to saying how delighted you are about unknown players we might be signing.

A few of our linked targets are playing in u21 euros and then there is club world cup and some are simply just still on holiday. Be a couple weeks yet before things start to rock and roll

Almost the perfect example of why the idea that a promoted club needs to sign a few "premier league players with experience" is a non starter really. You could get rid of way more than £100m in no time, then the wages, then that agent's kilos of flesh. And this particular guy is not a game changer either.

We'll sign players at a good level I'm sure, but they won't be this type of signing. KS has already more or less said this, when he was talking about transfers a week or so ago, referring to different types of experience. I agree with him.

We were too young to go up, too inexperienced, no players with PL time, a novice manager, a naive "model" and an immature owner. I heard all of this stuff from the talking heads at different times. We are better off having a go at it our own way. It's our best bet.
Couldn't agree more mate, so many of our players who managed to get promoted were written off at the end of the season before last and the beginning of last season. A lot of negative comments and frustrations which were obviously raw at the time were posted and were not well thought out or formed.
Patience was needed then and patience is needed now. Players who were not even considered as first team regulars at the start of the season ended up getting us promoted because the club allowed them to grow, gain experience, and flourish. (Mayenda and Watson).
We don't know who will step up this season and what quality of players we are looking at but I am willing to let this team do their work and see where we end up.
