Seems to me, with three days already gone the influx we all expected doesn't seem to be happening.
This can't be a serious post surely?! You're throwing your toys out of the pram and assuming we'all do nothing because we haven't signed anyone after 3 days?! I despair I really do! |

Don't go on the clubs facebook, twitter or the FB group, they were moaning on Sunday lunchtime that there wasn't anyone in |

But if we don't get a minute by minute record of what's happening, some "fans" won't be happy......  |

We tend to announce signings later in the week anyway. Who knows who is actually training at the moment. I'm a bit surprised we didn't have something ready to announce straight away but not panicking yet.
In terms of this being the worst squad, I'd still say the "Quinn administration squad" was worse/less inspiring.
The QAS of 99/00 had the likes of Mark McCammon, Michael Meaker and Wayne Gray on loan.....all terrible, + a collection of youth teamers nowhere near ready for second tier football. However Quinny also got in Michael Carrick, arguably in the top 5 English players of the 21st century. The previous season....had some stumers.....Neale Fenn, Des Linton and Shayne Bradley. |

You could see he oozed quality, even in the few (6) games he played for us.. The previous season....had some stumers.....Neale Fenn, Des Linton and Shayne Bradley.
Jeez, Fenn only played four games for us but his name was instantly recognizable. To be fair he did OK for Cork City  . |

You're forgetting the fact that Quinn resorted to playing himself... at 40! That's how bad that team was! Only good points that season were the Dean Gorre meltdown at home to Huddersfield and that away win at Charlton. |

What influx and who was expecting it? There's not been any half decent rumours either! |

The adver couldn't start a decent rumour even if the club told them about it....... they don't have journalists anymore, they just check social media and copy paste crap from other sources |

I'm expecting some signings, but not within 3 fucking days of the window opening.

exactly but one "fan" on the FB group keeps spouting that there should have been signings on Sunday, I agree with him in principle we need players in but the only reason to make signings on Sunday would be to impress the fans. Cheltenham signed two and Coventry signed two as they really are in the shit. |

Not forgetting....I remember Quinny hitting the post v Walsall, I was gutted having never seen anyone score in 3 spells at the CG....still the case. Adi Viveash ws marking him that day. |
