Obviously I don’t know the ins and outs, and without knowing what our budget is, my first thought is Wellens needs to be a bit more realistic with regards to transfers. Power has always made sure our wage budget is affordable and we don’t overspend. So when we haven’t had any income for 6 months, what is Wellens expecting? I can’t imagine Pitman, Grant and Fryers are cheap, so he’s clearly had a bit of money spent on wages already.
I agree.

First time Wellens has rubbed me up the wrong way.
He's always said how well Power has backed him and now all of a sudden he appears to be criticising the recruitment? Not great before the league has even started.

I was going to say, someone needs to let Wellens in on the secret about a worldwide pandemic pretty much ripping up the clubs income. In all fairness though, I think he knows how to play it with the media. Hep spent most of last season saying we were short.

I didn't hear it, but he does like to play games.
He might have just been saying stuff for any agents that might be hearing and trying to ask for too much.

We have a manager who is a winner, of course he wants more and better players, he wants to challenge

Rob Hartley said it made the hairs stand up on his neck and described Wellens as prickly

Hartley was a rare positive tonight - I always enjoy him on the comms. Hopefully a mainstay for the time being so we don’t have to suffer Hockaday!

Trolling as ever right? Listening to that commentary duo results in you having no idea what is going on?

Spot on. Wellens likes a moan, nothing wrong with that and he is clearly frustrated. Let’s hope we can get a few more in.

I get that but it's not Football Manager. I think all of the players we have carrying injuries were signed by him. We're not short at centre back for example but our centre backs are injury prone players, Wellens brought in two of them. Unless he knows we've got money to spent but are holding back on doing certain deals. Im sure it'll be alright come the end of the window.

well, either he's been given a budget, has some left now isn't allowed to spend it
or he's being unrealistic.
no idea which

Wellens cannot say he hasn’t been backed this summer, not a chance in hell we would have signed Pitman, Grant, DJ etc if that was the case. To some extent he also has a hand in extending the contracts of players like Fryers who have known injury problem, when we could have released them and looked for more stable replacements..
On the flipside really all we have done is replace players we have lost, so I can understand why Wellens is looking for the extra bodies to add to the squad depth.
We are normally pretty active towards the end of the transfer window, so I am pretty confident we will get those bodies in... fingers crossed anyway!
