So another week goes by and after rumour this and rumour that, we’ll have two by then and 3 will go before that date etc etc we have secured precisely nothing, zero, zilch totally F*%k all and are still in the same position as last week. Oh except from the bench warming striker (who wasn’t given a chance) we got rid of to Killy.
Now I know the end of June is when all the contacts end and more should start happening then but if you look at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13600908.stm
There has been 72 players going from 1 English club to another in June so far; of which we have been part of NONE.
If you look at the list there is a lot of transfers involving lower league sides which I believe is where a lot of people on here want us to look for the up coming players of tomorrow. Also haven’t Rushden and Diamonds just folded as a club surely they had one player that could have done half a job in this league. By the way half a job is all that is required to perform better than last season.
Don’t know why I’m so frustrated by this because apart from last season when was the last time we brought in so many players as is apparently planned this off season break. Just wish Megson would have not said anything about a wish list or we are talking to him etc then I wouldn’t get my hopes up for them to be dashed, before the season even starts.
Whinge over, suffering continues.
Where are they!!!

I think you're missing a pattern. Nearly all those transfers are frees or loans. Not many fees there.
How many 'big' clubs are in there? Hardly any, its practically all (bar a few) smaller clubs with either very limited or no funds.
Come July, the bigger teams will start to pull signings out of the bag. Stay calm, its hard to get used to but we have dosh now y'know

Here's that ray of sunshine again.
Seriously, it's June 17th. Most players are still on their holibobs or only just back. I'm sure there's plenty of work going on behind the scenes.
Can you not fill the time in with made up rumour-mongering instead of needless whinging!
......and no, I've not just been on Owlstalk but I might head over there now for a bit of a cheer up!

Cos we have a bit of spare cash behind the sofas doesn't mean we can't get a good free from somewhere. or even a loan signing like Batth. Like i said most want us to unearth tomorrows Rooney and that needn't be someone for a massive fee, or does it???

Why couldn't Megson scour the lower leagues for a free or a season loan? We are desperate for some new young players who will bring some much needed hope, belief and passion into the squad, which in my view is completely uninspiring and following last season debacle should be ashamed of themselves. The thought of watching the likes of O'Connor, Sedgwick, Potter, Teale and JJ dishing up the same boring dross is not going to bring the fans back, nor will our opposition have to worry. Sign up some fearless young kids who have energy, commitment and fire in their bellies and set them loose. I know who I would rather watch.

Seriously, who knows he isn't doing this...
Folk are just getting wound up & moaning for no reason.
Enjoy your life for a month or at least try & crack a smile, forget them for a couple of weeks & let them get on with it!
