We, as fans, do this every season.
Signed nobody - Not good enough, need squad in place before July 1st.
Signed too few - Not good enough.
Signed loads - We've rushed it, better players are available after July 1.
The most avoidable issue is the lack of a pre-season schedule. I bet Flitcroft was elated when he was told nothing was arranged...
Im hoping for Waterford.... rain checking an Irish trip for that possibility! |

I'm fairly sanguine about the lack of player activity. We know Power won't sign anyone until contracts are up, apart from odd bod.
We know we need a squad of 17, and apparently with some of the kids we've got 10, so I'm fully expecting Flitcroft to sign a handful of journeymen, lets say 4 or 5, then get in 3 or so loans, to be going on with by first week of August. There will then be a few more bodies arriving as the window evolves until it bangs shut in September.

Leicester have some good youngsters coming through so hopefully they will let us have a borrow of a few of them. Darnell Johnson CB, Callum Elder LB, Layton Ndukwu AMC, Harvey Barnes MC, Admiral Muskwe CF, Raul Uche CF all are the right sort of age and all promising players according to the LCFC forum.
A few were farmed out on loan last season so maybe some could come our way.

Appleton probably won't be too keen on helping us out now he's at Leicester!

So do you think that Appleton, will be looking to do us a favour? |

He might be in a "fuck them" mood, a reverse Mooney. |

He's the monkey, not the organ grinder - won't be up to him. He's a number 2 |

Did you mean to say that Leicester won't be too keen on helping now Appleton's there? That sentence is very confusing otherwise.
I don't think Appleton was at the Pox long enough to grow a major dislike for us and anyway I doubt any loan decisions would be coming from him alone so would probably be over ruled by Shakespeare and Jon Rudkin. |

I doubt very much that he gives two hoots about us one way or the other. People in football do not see football the way supporters do 9unless they get enough stick and have very little back bone, Joey B). |

True, but a lot of stuff is down to the old boy's network. Like Sherwood shipping us players because Power is his mate... Liverpool shipping us a few because we played Anton. When it comes to loans, Leicester should rightly do what they consider best for their player. |

I'd love us to sign a player called Admiral. |
