Incoming: with just under a month to go... 21:52 - Aug 6 with 2513 viewspointofblue

Which three players (within budget restraints) would you like to see us bring in?

For me:
Nathan Thompson - Right Back on a free transfer, last club: Portsmouth
Stephen Hendrie - Left Back on a free transfer, last club: Southend
Josh Magennis - Striker on a free transfer, due to leave Bolton

Poll: Who would you play at right centre back on Saturday?

RB Ben Marshall still a free agent

Poll: W or W

I've no idea to be honest. Haven't heard of most of the free agents. That's not to say there aren't some useful players there.

Has James Collins retired? Would maybe give him a contract until Jan.

If we were spending, I'd go for Rob Dickie from Oxford... but we won't be paying fees.

Poll: Would Lambert have acheived better results than Cook if given the same resources

Would be a great signing.

Really can't see it happening at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if a Championship club offers Ben Marshall a contract. To be fair, I don't think Nathan Thompson will happen either for that very reason.

I reckon Ben Marshall will end up back in the north west with a Champ club.

Or to Yorkshire at least; maybe at Barnsley.

Not sure why Thompson hasn't been snapped up yet.

It's just so painfully quiet at present

I can only imagine he's playing a couple of clubs off each other? Unless he's carrying an underlying injury of some kind.

Same problem we've had for years. Most of those available on a free are not worth it, getting to the end of their careers or injury prone. Those who are not cost money, often quite a lot of it.

I think we were extremely fortunate to attract and hire Norwood when we did. He is our real nugget signing for the season.

This is also why the loan system has burgeoned in the lower divisions. It's the only source of quality players who would otherwise not be available at all, except perhaps for eyewatering sums of money.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

That is yet another problem with this transfer window system. If a player just happens to be injured between May and August, or in January, that scuppers any real possibility of a move.

Honestly can't see anything happening transfer wise now this late in the week.

I believe we're ok all over the pitch even up front to be fair but the defense bloody worries me if anyone gets injured , not to mention the full back issue that has been apparent for seasons now

It’s a funny one, the defence being an issue. We’ve conceded just 1 goal in the last 4 games. Tidy.

If we could only have one new addition, I’d go for another front man.

I think with 5-6 full backs on the books we won't be signing any more.

Also think that Kenlock is good enough for L1 as are Donacien and Emmanuel. Could do with another CB.

It's more about what happens after the Prem/Champ window closes. There'll be those thwarted in their ambition to sign for clubs in the latter and surplus squad members going out on loan.

Barry Fry to ME:
‘Are you coming over in a couple of weeks?’
ME: ‘can do Baz, how about lunch?’
BF: ‘Lunch is on me if you’ll take Bassong off us on a free.’
ME: i’f you throw in a nice bottle you’ve got a deal.’

What’s not to like? 33 year old has-been (good in his day) with no recent game time.

It is quiet, but bear in mind Premiership squads were only finalised 4 days ago, not that we're in the market for any Prem players. But maybe an emerging talent could come our way, and if a Champ club gets a good loan from one of the big 6 clubs, that may make another of their squad players surplus to requirements. Unfortunately we're a long way down the pecking order for any quality loans like Fraser, Lawrence etc we had in the past.
Fingers crossed Lambert is using his German connections - I feel we need a European talent to make this season special.
