Nobody this week, then all systems go next week. |  |

5-6 by the end of the window, maximum of 2 (would bet 0, but hope 1) by the end of Friday | | | |

Will be more sensible to get one or two in as soon as possible rather than the pressure of getting all your ducks in a line last few days. | | | |

If Egeli is going to happen then surely that will be fairly quick. Imagine we have our foot to the floor on that one. [Post edited 18 Aug 9:45]

Really hope so, he looks very good indeed.
Would be very happy to see the lad here. It might be my blue tinted glasses but this would be a very logical and sensible step up in his career. Just hope he’s not persuaded by a Wolves, Leeds or Burnley where he may get Prem football but ultimately learn more under Kmc. | | | |

Don't think it would be unreasonable for people to feel frustrated if we cant get a couple sorted this week. We've felt the frustration of a couple of panic buys in the last couple of summer windows that have always not worked out. The rumours are far quieter than im comfortable with considering how much mckenna has made it clear we need to do.
I'm starting to sense some concern because of the Hackney and azon situation where things drag then don't get over the line, we're running out of time where we can get away with that, realistically each signing seems to be taking a minimum 7 days from initial rumour. It feels a bit long compared to previous windows but that may be virtue of waiting for something exciting and knowing we have funds to make a go of it. | | | |

Although we all desperately want bodies in ASAP it's a long season and far more critical that we get the right players in who will really help us rather than settling for players who may not benefit us hugely just because they're available. If that means waiting an extra week then so be it. I have confidence we'll be happy with the squad by the time the window closes. |  |

We've got 2 weeks, although clearly the earlier the better.
Priority for Saturday probably has to be getting Jens and Matusiwa a week on the training ground together, and hopefully Akpom a bit closer to involvement. I would go unchanged across the back 4 and front 4, its important we start building some levels of continuity. |  | | |

Where are we going to fit 5 or 6 new players into the squad, even if we move on one or two and a couple are U21s (not on loan)? |  |

We are an injury away from having zero senior strikers to select?
Notoriously difficult to get the "right" striker in. But I'd like to see a few links, at least, this week... | | | |

None this week probably a couple of panic buys in the last few days of the window. | | | |

Without wanting to sound like McKenna, getting the ones we have, especially Akpom and Cajuste closer to match fitness would be just as important. |  | | |

Not much in Midfield is there? Also interesting the club have Burns as a midfielder, not a forward. |  |

I mean, I'm pretty sure it's not a conscious choice FFS! It's not like they're ready to go and we're saying 'no-no let's wait until the final few hours of the window'.
The deals we're doing mean better players exhausting bigger options, that's the reality and that won't be until near the end of the window. Or those deals failing and us pushing through back up choices, sadly. |  | | |

AAH could get the full set of *'s and be de-registered. If he's injured then not easy to offload, so we could be stuck with him. | | | |

Yeah, rather than any sort of ITK knowledge I’m afraid.
Prem clubs will go mad next week, so we’ll just see the knock on effect of that. | |
