Buzzing for the Blackmore/House PR tweets in 7 days time about how it's a tough market, SR tried, something something PSR, happy with what we've got etc etc.

Given the evidence of all the transfer windows so far under SR. I think we have to be expect to be underwhelmed. At no stage have they shown an understanding or what is required.

There is still time, but I imagine we'll sign some up and coming player we've never heard of with potential to replace Dibling. Then that'll be it.

We will be told we have a big squad with too many strikers etc already. Which is true, but most of them are crap.

I expect Blackmore is just relieved as he hadn't been locate anyone at BBC Radio Krasnodar to tell us about Spertsyan if he signed.

I think something has had to give for a while and now it’s finally giving. We have had arguably the worst on-field season ever and SR are just going about business as usual.

Whatever the position I think we can all agree a signing that the fans of the existing club think is laughably shit is never a great sign.

Hugely underwhelmed by Spors so far. Looks like wasted the whole summer chasing Sperty. I predict we will overpay for Azaz and sign that winger from Still’s old club that’s currently at St Pauli. Will be a massively disappointing window if I’m right. Was hoping for much better but so far it’s been objectively crap again.

it’s 100% coming save that I predict we will panic buy Azaz at the 11th hour and claim he’s the one we wanted all along. 
 

I actually think Alfie is pretty much aligned with what a lot of fans think in terms of transfers. You can tell he isn’t impressed on TSP, he just can’t say it out loud.

Didn't they loan him out under Still ? Seems even more bizarre.

(I thought he was back with his French club).

Maybe start George Long at Norwich tomorrow just for lols. He should know which way to dive for the inevitable pens. And we have a ready made song for him.

He was loaned to St Pauli who triggered the buy clause in the loan, but then a few weeks later Lens triggered the buy back and got him back. A really weird chain of events.

The Lens fans aren't happy he's back as he's not rated at all by them, nor was he rated by Still if he loaned him out I guess. This one might not happen though, probably one of those random 2+2=5 transfer rumours.

I don’t know too much about Azaz technically. But what I’ve heard is that he frequently goes missing in big games according to Boro fans. Tidy player, but is it good to have more players that roll over when it gets tough?

He's a good player, he's not the quickest but he's got a physical presence and he can hold his own. He's good at making runs into the box, primarily a 10 or he can play as an advanced CM at a push - but he'll be the '10', the link guy and the guy delivering goals from midfield. 

Wouldn't fix the problems out wide, which I assume we're still working on sorting.

Only Spors and his recruitment team.

How about another Dane? Christian Eriksen is without a club and might no longer be a target for top teams. But he still needs playing time ahead of the World Cup – and wasn’t Ankersen’s moneyball idea all about surrounding young players with experienced ones? We can pay him whatever salary he wants and still save on transfer fees.

He improves our starting 11 and at the moment, that's all we can really ask for I guess.

I get that a lot of you want to be annoyed, but the Long transfer is not the one to get annoyed about. The lack of attacking mid and wingers are the ones.

However, we may be announcing a new signing soon after Dibling is confirmed...

Except, we were promoted with Baz and Macca last time around.

And that was behind a LegoHead-coached 'defence'.

Our keeper options aren't a disaster.

We scored goals last time around - eventually more than we conceded.  We're struggling on that front this time around...

Long signing is just the trigger. A lot of the anger you are seeing on here is the culmination of everything you’ve said and more.

Are we really melting down on here because we signed a 3rd choice keeper

Lol

No, I think some people are "melting down" because it rubber stamps Bazunu as our first choice keeper and without a decent 2nd choice keeper pushing for his place. 

Lol

Will Still also alluded in an interview to the fact Bazunu would be given competition. Surely he can’t have been referring to George Long..?!

We were never going to sign a new first pick when we have our number 1 still on our books ready to come back if we go up. Absolutely mental to think we'd sign a new number 1 for this season only. Just was never going to happen. 

If we can loan out a number one why couldn't we loan in a number one?

Essentially you are right, Long is a metaphor for how appalling these owners are, but I think we are too far gone between the fanbase and SR. People are expecting any signings to be more very poor squad filler and can you honestly blame them? 

I think the Pompey game will be the absolute final watershed. Handful of knock out signings for this level this week, Championship record for a transfer fee, and a heavy derby win is probably only thing that could save them.

Where would you rank him versus his peers in this division? Genuine question.

His a midtable level GK, maybe he’s turned a corner, his pre season form was good and has been largely decent in our matches so far

You can blame him for Stoke but on balance if was more the team and Stephens imo

The real question will be, for all of us moaning about how we’re overpaying for mediocre players and have a bloated squad, did they really expect us to sign a 3rd ‘1st choice’ keeper?

No, probably someone better than McCarthy.. as mental as that sounds it seems

Don't loan out Ramsdale then. He stays until someone puts a proper bid in for him. 

 

That highlights the point that loaning in a first pick isn't as easy as it sounds. When we're not buying one, and can't loan one, then we loan in a 3rd pick which is exactly what we've done.
