    Marks out of 10 please on our performance thus far..

    3/10..

    One striker in, could be OK, don't know.. Need another
    Already let players go without ready replacements. Id call that slack work

    Still need ... A goalie, a left back if Yids goes, a defensive mid-fielder, a winger and another forward

    The clock is tickin...

    judging by years gone by, the first couple of weeks or so never sees a vast amount of activity. Players and their agents are wheeler dealing, clubs hold out for the best deal and want to replace before releasing.

    We don't know the exact circumstances around what's supposed to be happening.
    We do know that we have a number of targets in our sights because Hecky said as
    much in last Friday's Chronicle. Some of those are abroad, so it's all about clearance/permits etc.
    He wouldn't say who those targets were because as he rightly pointed out, until things are agreed, they
    are signed to other Clubs. I feel confident that the new owners have agreed to free money up for new signings
    and that Gauthier will now be diligently trying his best to make things happen.
    I would strongly advocate we give the Club time to complete its business and until such times as new signings
    are announced, we excercise some degree of patience.

    Out of the players going out on loan , I think only Barnes needs covering , I think Mallen stepping up helps us in midfield , I am quite happy with the goalkeepers we have I also think that Gardener can do the defensive midfield position as well as Williams but I would like to see another option up front . Regarding the defence , I am optimistic that Yiadom will stay but if he goes , I agree with you another full back would not go amiss . Plenty of time left in the month , happy with the Moore signing , so marks out 10, would be a seven at this stage

    Hecky says we NEED 4 or 5.
    We have just one.
    So as a percentage that's 20%.
    Or in other words 2/10.

    Poor.
    Must do better Ganaye.
    See me before leaving class.

    Hecky did not say 4/5 players in 15 days , think you cannot come up with your strange calculation until the window has been completed

    If you were like this waiting for Xmas, your mam and dad must have been seriously pissed off by the middle of December.

    I think he said something on the lines of 'we need at least 4'.

    Or Leicester saying wow - he's really come on with you - we'd like him to come back and challenge for a first team place

    Or it was Leicester saying “he’s come on well, scored some screamers, thanks for all you’ve done but we’d like to take him back and play him in a cup game and see what he’s like in training”.

    Not quite how you came to your conclusion it was one or other of those options.

    Also nothing to say he won’t come back at the end of January is there?

    The club are not signing players for 3 reasons: -

    A) They don't realise that they need to sign anyone.
    B) They want to annoy the fans as much as possible.
    C) The senior staff don't know how to run a professional football club.

    Good point, but I'd argue that in both cases we're talking about a period of mounting anticipation as we move towards a fixed end date. We might get the occasional early present, but, like it or not, most of the excitement comes right at the end. Lets just hope that it's worth the wait and that the presents that we expected would be the latest ****-hot gadgets don't turn out to be cheap knock-offs.
