Any more signings??
We still need decent experienced cover at centre hslf and centre mid snd on Saturdays performance, another striker is essential....

I agree and if we did he would probably be only some inexperienced kid from somewhere .

Re: Any more signings??
We're short of a 4th CB (Forrester can't stay fit, Gilchrist is 5 foot 6, can't see REG featuring if/when he's ever fit), another 8 to cover El Miz and Zech, and an experienced striker.
Can't see us signing 3 players tomorrow, we'll have to wait until Jan.

Re: Any more signings??
I can see us getting some premier league/ championship prospect in for midfield but that'll be it I reckon. Our squad is bloated and badly balanced. Silly number of wingers and midfielders who aren't good, fit or Wellens approved enough.

Re: Any more signings??
Good luck to REG, but he wasn’t up to much when he was fully fit let alone after a very serious injury. Guess we’re paying his wages so being able to cover would be good.aylesburyos wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 7:31 amREG back in trainingHoover Attack wrote: Mon Aug 31, 2026 11:04 pm We're short of a 4th CB (Forrester can't stay fit, Gilchrist is 5 foot 6, can't see REG featuring if/when he's ever fit), another 8 to cover El Miz and Zech, and an experienced striker.

Re: Any more signings??
This will probably age like milk but... I actually think the squad is better balanced than it has been for a few years.Mistadobalina wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 5:30 am Our squad is bloated and badly balanced. Silly number of wingers and midfielders who aren't good, fit or Wellens approved enough.
I think the main areas of weakness/vulnerability are:
(1) A physical ball-winning midfielder, especially if El Miz/Hayden out
(2) A tall/physical back-up striker who offers something different to Kabia/Oyekunle
(3) Experienced back-up CB
(4) Recognised number 10
(5) Back-up RB
Not expecting much before window closes - would be fairly happy if they can just shift out unwanted/unfancied players on permanent deals.

Re: Any more signings??
We have done a good job or rebuilding the spine of players stay fit (big if!) but the gap is still a passing No.10. We have lots of dribbling but rely on El Miz for passing. Obviously Donley coming back was well out of our budget but we need someone like that more than any other position and then pray the first choices stay fit.

Well with Levitt going, we can get at least one I reckon.Token wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 9:05 am Even if they are kids we need a CB, defensive MF and a striker as we are screwed if anyone gets injured in those positions

Re: Any more signings??
Several exits? We don't have the depth for several exits. Levitt has gone this morning, which is the right decision. Craig will hopefully move on as well. Who else is there? Cahill possibly? Sean Clare?

Re: Any more signings??
Wow , this is news to me ,Levitt has gone . ? What club did he move to ? I'm more hopeful now we can sign at least one new player before the window closes tonightCrunchie wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 9:33 am Several exits? We don't have the depth for several exits.

Edit , Ah, OK I've just checked the clubs website . Just signed for Motherwell . Well Maxy can keep a tab on him for us .

Re: Any more signings??
One joining with several exits would leave us with a very small squad . Surely we can't let that many leave

Re: Any more signings??
Richie said recently re Bakinson leaving that was just balancing the books, so we needed more out before more came in. Were we to ship more than one out, Levitt gone already, I’d hope we’d get more than one inRedDwarf 1881 wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 10:49 amOne joining with several exits would leave us with a very small squad .

I’m not saying what will happen, already said it won’t, just pointing out what we need.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 10:37 amAbsolutely no chance .
