Boss tells fans signings will come
           



  SWINDON Town will have their full squad in place by the start of the season and could even sign a number of players within quick succession of each other.

Haha love this :

Quote
A player who gives their best and gives a blood and guts performance on the pitch is what I want. Not someone who wears hairbands and runs around on the pitch thinking they are model. That is not for me.

Been watching videos of Prutton last season much Paolo?

eVery time Paolo opens his mouth I like him a bit more and become a little less worried about having no strikers.

if he can walk the walk half as good as he talks the talk we'll be in for a good season.

We've won 11-0 and 5-0 so far, we don't need any strikers ;)

Agree and I can't help but feel we're 2 strikers short of being in a very good position to challenge.

Lets hope today is transfer Friday and we have 2 strikers signed by the end of the day.  It was very quiet yesterday.

That's what I was thinking. The transfer rumours thread was very quiet until about 9pm and this was about Liam Dickinson leaving Plymouth after 1 week.

Last few days have been very quiet. I personally dont think we'll see any developments until next week.

I don't see why people put deadlines on transfers. We have til the window closes. Yes in an ideal world we will have all our signings before the season starts.

Good things come to those who wait.

If by this time next week we still aint looking nearly complete then i will become slightly concerned. Alot can happen in that time and i'm pretty sure it will.

I dont think its deadlines, I think its a feeling that we would rather get players sooner rather than later, based on the concern that all the good players are snapped up early and if you leave it too long you are left with the dregs...

Personally i'd rather we waited and got the right player than rush in and panic.  I can't believe people would be happy if we signed Liam Dickinson his goals to game ratio is worse than Pericards. 

Dickinson would be a desperate signing imo and if he came here i would be concerned that weren't able to attract someone better

I think Dickinson is on the radar as now we have spent a lot of our budget and we are now on a Bargain hunt.

That's complete and utter bollocks. Why the fuck would we ever be after him? Anyone who thinks he's the real deal is clearly wrong.

Eh?
What is/was our budget?

What have we spent so far?
All I can think is £30K for Smith.

I imagine we have a fair few quid to spend if need be.

I think the issue will be hitting the wage cap rather than having nothing left for transfer fees. We may of course be well below our % of predicted income limit, but the £25 match day prices and Paolo's "pay good wages" quote make me wonder if thats true.

That said, he is still confident of getting players in so we must have some wiggle room.

Dickinson would be a desperate signing, I'm pretty sure we can attract better players than that, there are plenty of bottom half League 2, Top Half Conf strikers we would be better off with, as has been shown with Alan Connell!

  Have to say di Canio has gone up in my estimation, for his headband comment....we were always in trouble last season for having 2 in the side.  Think it's possible to live with one though.

It was difficult for PDC to sign players while the club was on tour abroad (not having a pop at the tour at all, I bet it was brilliant for them).

Hopefully get business done a bit more quickly now.

The transfer fee raises eyebrows. But thats what will happen if we are trying to complete the squad with transfer fees before deadline day.

Eh?

PDC can still go for players while on tour, e.g.
- Pick up a phone and call someone
- The board can do the face-to-face discussions / interview

Our key priority (obviously not the only priority) is to get ready for the 1st match and that is what the tour is delivering, e.g.
- Building a team atmosphere
- Getting the team fit
- Instilling PDC's tactics
- PDC analysing who does what and what their capabilities are, which will clearly mean PDC will know their strengths / weaknesses, then look to fix the weaknesses by more training / new players

So for PDC to purchase players quicker, then they turn into flops, a la Dossevi, would you be happy with that?
