So after several key squad members leave we may be bringing in some players replacements in time for the new season. Wow, the Adver boys must have gone undercover for months to get that scoop  |

Have you been watching football long? Do you want to page back through threads during previous closed seasons and read the rants from fans about the idiocy of announcing transfer targets before the deals are done? Were the signings that Paolo made announced until they had the scarf over their heads? Mainly no from what I remember. Whereas we all knew about the loan signings that were lined up for January, and look haw that ended up. I like a bit of transfer speculation and rumour as much as the next man. But I want the club themselves to keep their mouths shut until someone has signed. |

I know it is very worrying looking at all our rivals signing so many players with us not making a move yet  |

This time last season we had not made a single signing yet.
Every year we get people panicking and forecasting doom about the lack of transfer activity and every year it has to be explained that it's the norm.

I don't expect any new signings at this time of year, but think it obvious if we need to halve the wage bill, then roughly we need to halve the squad...once this has been done, then KMac can have a look around, so what's left and see what he needs and see what he can afford.

So you think other teams on a similar or lower budget potter about with 12 or so players for a season then Reg? It's not obvious at all considering so many other teams do just fine on less, why should we be any different? There's no happy-clapping or doom-mongering to be done until we know how many come in and who they are, I'm sure you'll still persevere though. |

But Reg, the budget was £4.5mn when we had Ritchie, Risser, Hollands, Martin, Cibocchi (I could go on) by the end of the season we'd trimmed that down with players paid up and loanees returned to clubs.
Surely Caddis and Benson moving on should get us down to where we need to be, we've freed a lot of players for a club with a small squad.
