Summer Recruitment 09:24 - Aug 31 with 4487 viewsTalkingBlues

I was banging on about it being poor back in July, here we are 24 hours away from deadline and we’ve missed virtually every target we’ve bid for and will now be scrambling around for what we can get on deadline day, Ahadme MKII is in full swing.

How are we all feeling about signings with a day to go?

If you ignore all the targets we've signed we've definitely missed out on virtually all the players we were after.

I feel like squad depth has improved with Taylor and Hutchinson but not overall impressed. The starting XI is the same as last year and it’s clear we’ve missed out on targets.

That's funny, I could have sworn we signed Luongo, Taylor, Hirst, Hutchinson, Williams and Slicker?

So not missing out on virtually every target.

Ashton has set himself up for a fall though by claiming we'd sign at least 2 or 3 more a couple of weeks ago.

The starting XI has lost exactly one game since January, though.

Only really Luongo and Hirst out of that list playing regularly. And they were both playing regularly the end of last season. It's still basically the same first team with a couple of squad players added. Both Ashton and Kieran said we needed more quality and were going to push on this year with better players. That hasn't happened upto now, we still have around 36 hours though, so we will see. If the club isn't as ambitious as KmK that will be the only reason we lose him. So it's down to the club and Ashton to sort it.

Don’t get me wrong I love our side, but each window is the opportunity to progress and improve and I feel if you don’t do that your standing still.

The fact is that you bang on and bring negativity to every post you make. Yes,in hindsight Ahadme was not a great signing. Can you name any others?

We have no idea what other signings have been “missed” , and if there were other players we would have liked to have signed, there are several possible reasons w by we didn’t.

You, and the Twitter gimps, can’t supply a single name that you 100% categorically know we were in for that we’ve missed out on.

You’re angry over rumours that didn’t materialise.

Good morning Mr Positive.

What is it about extending the contracts of the likes of Chaplin and McKenna, the signings of Luongo, Hirst, Taylor, Slicker, Hutchinson and Williams and the moving on of some League 1 squad players that contributed to our recent success that has you so down?

Three weeks 'on holiday' which by coincidence happens to be all the weeks we've been getting good results and this is what they come back with.

Classic budgie move.

To be fair, unlike TalkingSh1te, Frimmers isn't an actual budgie. Just a bit dim.
