We rarely seem to get business done early which is frustrating as we have a lot of games coming up.

Our rivals (Cov/Boro) have already moved to strengthen with some decent acquisitions, so you have to wonder why we always take so long. You’d have thought a lot of the legwork could be done or to 1st of Jan so they can be wrapped up ASAP.

Kind of leads to the suspicion that we didn’t really know who we want, or is it a case that we are again aiming too high (as with Hackney), and therefore end up dragging it out and missing other opportunities.

I’ve actually been fairly non-critical in the past but it does seem to be becoming a pattern.

What opportunities have we missed? If a good CM/CF target had gone elsewhere I might agree but they haven't. As always, better to get the right player than just any player. We could be down the line with a target and waiting for the dominoes to fall elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Ipswich have identified their targets and behind the scenes have contacted the players clubs and are waiting patiently for the deals to happen.

Not sure how much coventry will be the lad who had been at Portsmouth on loan could hardly get a game. We need better than we have or no real point to it.

Cov/Boro had holes in the squad that needed filling urgently, we don't need signings straight away so can afford to wait.

Jesus wept.

Why do people think so black and white. It’s quite possible to appreciate Ashton on the whole has done a good job leading the club to where it is now, whilst at the same time wondering whether we can do some things more efficiently.

Why do people bang on an on about not making early January additions when anybody with half a bloody brain realise that its NEVER as simple as that.

I don't think black and white, I just get sick to death of the constant moaning.

Last season we'd signed Godfrey by this point and the year before we had Sarmiento and Travis through the door by now, so i don't think it's necessarily the case we don't get our business done early


I think it's probably more that players who are in demand will be leaving it until the last minute to weigh up their options/drive better offers

edit: league 1 season we had Luongo, Hirst and Broadhead at the club by 10th Jan. So we definitely have been quick to do deals in recent years

“ I just get sick to death of the constant moaning.”

Have you ever considered a football forum might not be the best place for you?

Without any diversity of opinion it would be an incredibly dull place (ridiculous Frimley takes aside).

Don't try to be so condescending, leave that to the experts on here.

I have no issue with "diversity of opinion", none what so ever.

My issues lie with the same people, digging at the club with literally everything they post. Theres no diversity it that, is there.

Pretty certain that wasnt the question I asked.

So go on, what makes the lad from spurs a "good signing".

Happy to give you time to Google him.....

I have no issue with the transfers taking as long as they need so long as they are good players that improve us.

Does it slam shut ? I always see it slowly closing a quarter of an hour before the allotted time, looks like it's shut at that time but a chink of light is still showing and then three clubs rush up at once and squeeze through on a technicality.
