as serious lack of activity in the transfer market

[Derbymiller]

The lack of activity is a concern and this is why

13 players have left the club since the end of the season we have brought in 2 !!!!!
We have 3 more players that are likely to leave in Vaulks, Forde and Purrington
We have no right back, no goalkeeper and no goal scorer
Warne stated he wants a first team squad of 20, that means we will only have 3 players spare on a match day if we fill the bench, that leaves things very tight especially as we know we have 5 players that suffer a lot from injuries.
Warne also stated he wanted the business done early, we are 50% of the way through, pre-season starts in a week
warne also stated he wanted most if not all the squad together before germany
Anyone that thinks we will do well by getting players at the last minute, that have not trained are not listening to our own manager
We have only 4 bids in for players according to Hamshaw and 1 looks dead
We failed to get the lad from Ross County for the sake of £50k
So by the targets set by warne and his team, the summer is not going well so far, a team like us cannot lose that many players over the summer and expect to be in the top half of the league
Not time to panic yet but the next 2 weeks if we haven't brought in a minimum of 4 players including a goalie and goal scorer we shouldn't expect a lot this season.
How TS says we are in a better place is beyond me, perhaps he means the family finances
UTM and fingers crossed

Got to agree with that

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

The last time I looked the season didn't start for another 6 weeks.

A good point but I would have thought new additions would be needed before the Germany trip to get best effect

It's only one game so he only needs to take 13 players with him!

It's not the game alone though, it's Currahee for the new Band of Brothers

I think in an ideal world you'd want your business completed before flying out to the pre season camp most definitely .

The influence of agents have complicated the process massively and significantly lengthen the time it takes to complete deals .

Every club are in the same boat so Rotherham aren't in reality any further behind than let's say Sunderland or Pompey who have only completed one incoming deal between them so far .

Plenty of time to go yet , if players arrive late then so be it just as long as they are the right fit for the club .

Cauley Woodrow didn't sign for ourselves till the end of august and then got himself injured in training and didn't make his debut till early November .

He still hit 19 goals and had a massive influence on our promotion .

I don't think there's an exact science with players coming in at this stage of proceedings , the right fit is far more important .

And some people are just attention seekers.

Stop doing it then lol

Incoming is around the corner

Don't get giddy over it......

Of the 13 players left only Rodak was a regular ? 5 of the players were out on loan all season,Vyner played quite a few games,Towel less and the wingers all shared a game ! So those 13 equated to no more than 5 in game time !
I agree 20 players is not enough but we also have 5 first year pros also who might get some game time !
No right back ?so have you heard of Billy Jones ?
