This is the report DM is talking adding 1 or 2 to the attacking end of the pitch if the right players become available the cutting edge is not good enough. So at the moment we are not looking for a CH it appears. Not giving a year equivalent contract to AB becomes more criminal by GM his judgement was wrong.

One possible interpretation of that article is that the aim is to have those attacking players in before the opening game (immediate) and then midfield and defence reinforcements hopefully before the end of the window (2 September)

That’s why said at the moment we are not looking for a CH. Let’s hope it does change when circumstances change.

Sorry that deduction doesn’t make sense..

Sure, the focus of the report is adding one or two attacking  players, but nowhere does it say we are not looking at more defenders etc.. just because it doesn’t say we are, doesn’t mean we are not.

Also, regardless of who the players are, we have let go is it 8 players including all the loanees, and signed 4 plus two of our loanees returning.. so two players coming in balances the numbers.?

IMHO we need one more centre half and a pacy attacker as a minimum..

More if any other players leave:.

Ideally we would bring in another 4 as I would like to see two new centre halves, a utility midfielder and a pacy forward..

IDM Darren said
Darren Moore admitted afterwards that his side lacked a cutting edge and, after spending the first ten days in the job assessing his squad, is now likely to press ahead with plans to add to his attacking options.

“We could do with one or two more bodies in there to bolster it a little bit more,” said Moore.

So it’s players at the top end of the pitch in the three behind a striker.

The point I made about AB if we had kept him for another year we wouldn’t have look for another CH, at this moment.

Not sure you can count two returning loan players as a comparison to the players we’ve lost.
With the funds we keep being told we have them we shouldn’t be offering players like will Atkinson short term deals, that just reeks of cutting your cloth.
We’re currently saving wages on
Marosi
Andrew
Mason
Rowe
Mandevile
Lund
Butler
Plus whatever we were paying for Kane, Wilks and downing.
We’ve now signed a young midfielder and two full backs, so we should have a hefty amount of funds available to re-build our squad.
We were told we had a number of exciting signings lined up yet we’re now considering offering will Atkinson a short term deal?

Doesn’t add up

[Dutch Uncle]

Maybe ‘short term deal’ means to the end of the window, and is insurance against injuries to defenders while we take all of the window to get the right ones in permanently?

Yes, I read it too, but omitting to mention a need to bring in defenders/midfielders doesn’t mean we are not looking..

I interpret that report as looking at attacking options only..

[Alan Southstand]

And there is still no assistant manager. What the hell is going on?

Why don’t we wait and see what happens with signings and how the team subsequently performs.?

Let me make it explicitly clear that that doesn’t mean I believe we have sufficient players yet, as I think we don’t, but it’s a bit daft to pull to shreds every statement the club makes to say “you said this but then didn’t do it”..

How many days ago was it thenapprahnwas made.?

Why should anything be “going on”..?

And I don’t necessarily agree..

I’m not pulling apart statements the club have made, but they explicitly said we had a list of players ready to sign. I agreed that when Moore was appointed he should be the person to decide upon these players.
But we’ve signed one player on loan and now he’s saying if we can find available players we will do our best to sign them.
Gavin said last week we could still sign Middleton, we’re lacking at the top end of the pitch so players like him would be just what we need.

If we do only sign one or two players then we’re only a couple of injuries away from a very poor starting 11

[Filo]

It’s all getting a bit worrying, bodies need to come in sharpish, atthe moment we look like weare going to struggle

[drfchound]

Just read Moores latest interview in the free press from today about transfers. He says he hopes to add 1 or 2 new players to the squad to help it, but only if the right players become available... Darren we need much more than 1 or 2. We are facing a season around mid table if he thinks that’s all we need.

It then says we are looking at offering Will Atkinson a short term contract. This is a lad who couldn’t get in the starting 11 at Mansfield last season.

“If the right players become available”.

So much for having a queue of players waiting to sign for us.

McCann's departure has upset the transfer plans  . DM is been given respect of over seeing the plans and it’s taking  longer than it should . Players who may have been approached will look elsewhere now if Rovers haven’t followed up in good time. Rovers are not famed for  buying  over priced players in rash hurry , so it’s loans and or out of contract players .

[Spilsby Red]

Doesn’t take long does it. Let’s just wait and see and support the team/club

I agree - grown men continually wetting themselves about anything they perceive as negative.  Get a grip and wait...

Some of you take things too literally and if things don't happen immediately you infer that you've been misled. It's like you can't wait to jump on the clubs back.

'One or Two' is a phrase and could easily mean 2 or 3 in his mind. The good news is he's recognised the same as we have where we need to strengthen. He's already on the case. It's likely that there maybe 'one or two' players that he's yet to be convinced by but wants to give them every chance.

I'm sorry but no manager is going to give you specific details of likely incoming or outgoings.

None of us are in a position at the moment to criticise as we have no clue what's going on behind the scenes. We can only be patient and judge on what we see on the pitch when the season starts.

[Chris Black come back]

Same shit again. McCann leaves. Disaster. Club will never get anyone decent in if we only look at out of work managers. Club going to dogs. Would have been better if Richardson was still in charge, etc. Manager been in job just over a week and he hasn’t signed a load of new players. Disaster. We have no chance. Give it up and just accept relegation now.

Jesus wept.

Well Idd be seriously worried if he’d not realised we needed to strengthen in attacking areas 😆... in all seriousness I’ve just read the last few remaining Bolton players are about to walk out. Oztumer would be a good player to sign for that 10 role behind the striker

[RedJ]

Thing is he's hardly gonna go to the press "oh b*llocks I need a f**k ton of new players stat or we are totally f**ked" is he? if he makes us look desperate it's just gonna push up players' demands if they think we're in the shit without them.

Hopefully, very good player at league 1 level

He’s got loads of ability. He makes May look like Mark Sale though!

[silent majority]

Some people are panicking for no reason whatsoever. And interpreting what DM says to prove their stand point and/or their negative position is sadly immature.

As I've posted earlier DM wanted a good look at what he has before entertaining the options already identified or those on his list. Thats currently happening. Wait and see.
