Some fans need to chill the bleep out. There is plenty of time to sign players today and in January, so chillax and enjoy the sunshine! I'm in Colorado and very chilled! Some fans are passionate about wanting to see the club progress. Others don't care too much about it either way and in truth quite like the lower leagues. Waiting for January as a strategy is a strange recommendation. Players are more not less expensive then, as teams in with a shout of promotion or relegation desperately try to strengthen for the run-in. And in any case, if one is 10 points off the pace then it would be counter-intuitibe to bother. A lot of us think that we are 2 or 3 playets away from being able to compete for promotion to our Holy Grail (the Championship), after 20 long years in the lower leagues. It would be only natural to feel some frustration if we buggered up that opportunity in July and August when we had plenty of firepower. In January, you have the opportunity to look at players who are out of contract in the summer and the team they are at may want to cash in, where today they want to hold on. It's not ideal, but more desirable than feeling like we have to do business today and compromising the overall strategy. Today, there is plenty of time to do a deal or two. No need to get all down just because someone isn't in by tea time. I don't see the angst as being productive or needed.

Now that is ambition. He is an excellent player - more consistent than Marvin. How do you know he's more consistent? How come we've just got 2.5+ million for Marv, yet he's been on the transfer list for the past 3 months and no one has matched the million they wanted? Love to hear your answers on this one.... He wants play for his club He trains with his club He doesn't have phantom injuries He signs a new three year contract with his club rather than trying to orchestrate a move away. That's what is more consistent about him compared to Johnston

Dipping in and out of this thread as on holiday with the missus and at risk at pissing her off if I keep my nose pressed against my phone.. Is the general feeling that we won't be bringing new players in today? Edit: At the risk of pissing taffyewe off by asking that question I can at least put my phone away and avoid a knee in the nuts from the afore mentioned missus... lol......I know the feeling you have at the minute. I try to say to her (not your missus, but mine ) "It only happens twice a year" meaning the transfer window. Not your fault your on holidays .... just badly planned!

Sorry about that.🙂 Certainly wasn't the first post in the thread to hazard a guess at loans + a big signing, though. What hasn't been mentioned, if no big action does take place, is if we can offer some extended contracts to the players we have? Would like to avoid a Lundstram style situation with Nelson or Ledson next summer.

That's what is more consistent about him compared to Johnston I'd do some research on him, Peterborough fans even say he's a bad egg in their camp, disrespects the fans and has a shocking attitude.

I'm sure the club are doing all they can to bring a player or two in.
Johnson leaving isn't a negative for me, we got a great price for a player that didn't want to be here - no reflection at all on the club or its plans.
It's the way of the world, players and agents have the power.
COYY.
Johnson hasn't played most of our games this season and our start is more than half decent.

If he's so good and so consistent I'd want to know why his agent couldn't get him a move to somewhere for less than half the price of Johnson and being 3 years younger.... or just maybe this guy has never actually seen him play so his 'consistent' comment was a load of rubbish?

Agree but according to it it's as if our season might be over already and the club is making decisions on the hop and or being economical with the facts..I trust there is a planned strategy which as we have seen with MJ can be flexible.
