Imminent incomings today?

[Derbymiller]

we can only comment based on what we know, but personally I am not feeling very hopeful for this season as we stand at the moment. This squad will not stay up, it has nothing down the right, little up front and lacks real pace (except Bramall). If we are in the situation that a player must leave before one comes in, then the finances must be in a mess, I am not sure they are in a mess so i hope we are not playing the game.

We know we have a limited budget, however it is that a budget, you balance a budget over the season not before it starts. There will be a target wage bill, a target signing on, bonus, transfer fee budget as well, you ensure you hit your target for the end of the window not this early. If we ignore those first group of matches (I think it is 6!!) and don't expect to have our squad ready until september then that is a very stupid strategy, we are very likely to be bottom 3 early on and then that will take a lot to claw out of. Also why would Wiles and Rathbone sign new deals at the moment? They are not seeing a squad being built that would excite them and so they can wait until September until the see what investment has been made, before they commit.

The manager has stated that none of the young players are ready for the championship, what does that say about our academy and this means that we need even more senior players if the young players can't even be on the fringe of the first team squad. MT did what he had to do last season, he kept us up after the loss of Warne, but based on a good start, he hasn't a cat in hells chance with this squad and the speed this squad is being built. Lets see what the next 2 weeks bring
