Thank you Matthew. Sharp as a tack except for they had no problems getting international recognition at SFC and Spurs are not one of the 'biggest clubs in the world' or playing CL (I note you now say European instead of CL)

So the sales were nothing to do with FFP compliance then. Just disgruntled players which begs the question why?

Sounds like times really are tough. Shame you couldn't have had a drink each.

..

Not a single mention of our activities being to comply with FFP? Surely that's a mistake. I read it here today.

Koeman said after the Brighton game he hoped to 'complete 2 or 3 signings over the weekend'. That obviously didn't happen.

DJ's numbers on refer to incomings (by way of explanation of the resource involved in a transfer other than a loan or free). Our issue is the net effect of 'in's' vs 'out's' which is another debate altogether.

I think I know what you mean.

Crystal Palace have signed 3 players. Aston Villa have signed 5. Data from the official website. http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/2014-15/summer-transfer-window-2014.html

Why are you called 'madruss'?

Only QPR and Man Utd have signed less than SFC at this point.

Give the medical team a chance. They can only do one at a time so it will take a while to get through the queue.

Let's hope we have no bookings / dismissal's or injuries. Whichever way you dress it up we are woefully short of cover at the CB position and one match could see us even more than threadbare. Of course, there is time to address this but time is not on our side.

You don't trust our 'excellent' scouting network then WG? Maybe Kat doesn't either.

We've waited quite a long time already. I admire your optimism that we can give Liverpool a run for their money on opening day. I hope you're right............

I would guess most clubs have a 'failure' rate of perhaps one-signing per season (or less). Would you agree?

Shouldn't our excellent extensive scouting network have done it's homework first? Either these players are good enough for us or they're not. 'Try before you buy' ranks highly in the not-a-great-justification stakes.

Why do you think the Club haven't come out and explained this is the reason behind the playing staff changes?

The signing of Samaras would take us to a new, comedic level.

Or sold?

It's been rubbish since it went over to Ch5. Except for Emma Willis that is.

How long are we likely to be hamstrung by this situation? Could we be in a position to make the loan signings permanent in a years time (or make other permanent signings)? How on earth did a Californian get interested in SFC? We normally struggle to get interest in our club outside of Hampshire - this close season being an exception for obvious reasons!

The problem with that is that the third window could be a Championship window.

The post July 1 comment may be relevant.

Yes. That occurred to me as well.
