SNSUN Posted 14 August, 2012 Share Posted 14 August, 2012 My real worry is having a rubbish start to the season that could prove costly come the end of the season. Even getting a CB in now will harm our early season chances as he settles in and gets an understanding with the players around him. We could've signed Buttner, 2 CB's, a quality keeper and an amazing right winger this summer and we'd still struggle to get more than 3 points from our first 4 games. It's who we sign before the deadline and how they gel that will shape our season. I'm pleased our run in is a darn sight easier than our beginning, we always seem to start a season badly/slowly and that would have been the case had we 4 easier games in the first four. We need the winnable games when we're on a run of form, it's our fellow relegation candidates that we need to be beating, not the big boys. (though that would be nice!)

Naturally they should go into every game thinking they can win it, cupsets happen, so can leagupsets. (A new word, it won't catch on.) We're just being more realistic as fans, especially ones that support a team that has had so many ups and downs as we've had in the past.

I think we can nick a result with the team we have. We've got quality in the team, and in spite of us bemoaning our lack of bringing in a CB, Jos and Jose are far from the worst CB's in the world. My view is we have 17 days to bring in recruits, not 4, so there's no immediate need to panic. (An injury to Jos or Jose against City and I will of course change my mind!)

If we are really holding out till the last minute for two CBs then I would question our transfer strategy if we did not have at least one other signing that was able to be signed sooner so that it is less detrimental to our early season chances.

What I'm saying is that we should have got a CB in before now. It was blindingly obvious that we needed a couple in before the end of last season. We could and should have managed to get a CB in by now IMO.We're one of many still actively pursuing transfers. Last minute will be the last minute of deadline day and as long as the squad looks more competitive than it does now, I'll be happy.I will be happy if/when we get transfers in before the deadline but I will be disappointed if we lose heavily or for example fail to beat Wigan when I feel we could have done more in terms of bringing in players earlier and thus being more prepared for the start of the season. We should have got a CB in IMO and not doing so before now could well cost us. What if we don't get someone in before Sunday? What if Fonte or Jos get injured five minutes into the game?

You've taken my quote and made it look all weird! We'll likely to lose the city, Utd and arsenal games regardless and a loss to Wigan wouldn't be the end of our season. We should be looking to get 3 points against them and I think we will anyway. I'll judge the window come the end of the deadline day and if we are as we are now, we'd be in trouble. Just can't see that being the case and I'm sure we're in for a couple of surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup we're leaving it later than I'd like getting the right new faces in. But the thing is we probably set our stall out for specific targets, if these didn't want to come or clubs didn't want to sell, is it our fault? I really can't believe that the relevant people at the club have been sat on their arses for the last month or so. We may end up having to bring in players that were lower down our list than we would have liked but I'm not one of those who thinks we'd have been better off setting our sights lower in the first place.
