club announcing friendlies when they are confirmed but still people moan?

agree. The only signing who is urgently needed and needs to gel is RB, first 11 is pretty good apart from that. If we can improve it great and do need more depth in couple of position. These could be as cover, but if they can better first 11 even better

Squads are going to be limited to 25 players over 21 - I can't see Pardew wanting an inflated squad. They were discussing this morning that today is the opening of the full transfer window - appreciate England allow transfers - I think - from the end of the season, but it highlights how it is still very very early.

they were quite poor, not trying to re-write history. But Lambert fitted in - but we didn't have Hammond, Harding, Fonte, Jaidi at the start of the season - that is the difference, we are probably adding one or two first team players, the rest back up. We are not building a team from scratch.

when did Lambert arrive, around 10 August? Think he fitted in ok. Will be concerned if we haven't signed anyone when we are in August.

Bart, RB, Seaborne, Martin, Dickson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wooton, Holmes, Mills, Connolly Not bad back up for league 1. Think we will see RB, forward and CM at least, probably then winger

did they annouce time and location before the other clubs involved?

would be surprised if Pardew is after any where near that many

Really disappointed, thought club were going to sign new players and ask them to spend their summer with existing players families so they could bond over the summer. Guess left it too late.

The world cup isn't over, we were always looking at players from the better teams, players from teams already knocked out quite simple are not good enough - I saw Rooney over the last 4 games - he is no Rickie!

didn't even convince yourself! When he quotes startrek and starts talking about the mindless mob etc then compare!

agree, wish they had made more of an effort to fill the stadium but suspect still will have decent crowds for where we are

think you failed to understand the comment.

Some good points there.

me,right about what?

nope, me neither.

seems that location and time are yet to be agreed - but still NC should have announced it!

I hope it was tongue in cheek - unless those moaning have really lost the plot!

their new manager of the radio today, identified two free transfers -competing with prem clubs but happy can convince them skates are better club

trousers you are an ignorant old fool.

Doubt at his age any signing on fees etc would be that high for James. He will want decent level football, commutable from West Country

False, imho -fans running clubs is crazy.

not saying its all we should wish for, but majority of fans will be very happy if we are doing well. OS updates with news- if echo are 12 hours behind - so what?

exactly. Wins and players are more important than what time OS gets updated.

best of luck to him, decent guy.
