A couple of new signings this week would lift the mood and i don't mean Byram!
Nat Phillips and maybe a midfielder and/or striker.
Id say we also need at least a gk and a left back but its looking like we are stuck with Meslier and Firpo as no one wants them
Its time for action now not words

Keeper, LB, creative midfielder and striker.
I think 60 mill could buy you all those for this division.
If that is too much for parachute payments, 49ers wealth and any monies from player sales (already have a whopping 3m from Rodrigo), then we're in serious trouble.
Like I said time for actions not words, lets hope we see some this week!
Not sure we can spend 60m with financial fair play.
Which means getting nothing for these players gone out on loan is even more frustrating

FFP works over 3 years, its always used as an excuse by owners.
Completely agree re frustration re loans.
Just listened to DFs post-Monaco interview on LUTV. Another clear statement by DF is that he wouldn’t have chosen the pre-season friendlies with ManU and Monaco.
I hope DF doesn’t get so frustrated that he either leaves, or gives the 49ers the ultimate decision to make by the comments he’s making (that I applaud him for making btw). If we lose DF, we’re in serious trouble.

Not his fault of course we had those friendlies, but an insight that who is deciding those is really not connected to what the team needs.
I like him and how he communicates, he reminds me of TC, I really hope we haven't brought him in because he is malleable and doesnt rock the boat.
As Paraaag said, bring in good people and then let them get on with their job.
I really want to hear from DF less one teh contracts and more of the "I'm getting everything I need"
I've not yet heard him say anything like that.

I have a friend who is a Coventry fan, they too have four friendlies lined up, Forest Green, Shrewsbury, MK Dons and Exeter City. Teams you'd expect them to win, not really a test of fitness and probably doesn't illustrate where shortcomings are.
Do you opt for matches that pose a challenge or ones that help build confidence.
Certainly a dilemma.

For me priorities are:
Match sharpness
Assessing players
Trying out tactics
Avoiding injuries
Engaging with fans
You want to make your practices as close to the real thing, which means playing teams around your level, some a bit higher, some a bit lower.
Play v too high, your players go over top and risk injury, play too low a level, their players go over top and risk injury to us.
I think point here is Farke wouldn't have chosen these matches. One hopes that next time he is more in control.

Very wise. Thomas and Spieth stand to lose a few bucks in the next year or two.

Don't really want those just init to make a quick buck. Id like those that invest to be genuinely interested in the club doing well and being prosperous.
