    I'd love to be proven wrong, however I just can't see us signing a GK, CB, CM, CAM and a ST ( all as hinted) in the space of the next 20-odd hours, given its taken us 30 days to sign a LB, LW & a ST. It's all a little bit underwhelming isn't it.

    Good idea for a thread this. Don't think it's been discussed before.

    I’m wondering whether player’s agents take it to the wire in order to get a better deal?

    Why do we need a CAM? Mallan & Moncur both play that position?

    There aren’t enough goals coming from midfield as things stand. Someone like a Knassmüllner would, at least on paper, add that additional threat/contribution that we’re desperately lacking.

    At the start of last season we seemed to have goals and assists from all parts with the likes of Hourihane, Watkins and Hammill all helping out. We’ve lost that unfortunately.

    We’ve been thrashing the terms out with Thomas Ephestion and his agent today so unless hes gone Manzala on us it should be another more or less boxed off

    I think what has been a disappointment with goals from midfield is the fact that Potts & Moncur have good scoring records with their previous clubs even though from a lower standard & you would have hoped for a better return from them. Regarding the OP hoping for 5 more signings on top of the three we have is optimistic to say the least , the only hints seem to come from speculation as opposed to factual statements from the club but you never know , it will certainly be interesting in the last few hours of the window

    If it is, then how come Sheff Utd got their main targets in and done with early doors , while we (yet again) are rushing around like headless chickens at the last minute?

    I would hope we are not paying him a lot in wages and if it takes all day to sort out a contract ( plus all the time we have had while talking to him )to get him to sign , then it does not bode well for tomorrow !
