God some people are really fucking thick. They are blaming Fitton now and the club saying we are not offering enough and to pull their fingers out? Well the whole point of negotiation is to get something for a price you think is fair?Huh? Fucking Spastics.

So another day no new players! what is it with this club, why does it take them so long to get people in! We will start the season slowly like we did last season and it will be a real battle to achieve what we did last year. It really irritates me how long it takes for us to get people in. Pull your fingers out guys!

Hope we've got a plan B in place, if signing Ferry and Caddis doesn't come off. The way things are dragging on with signing players (as usual) I think AF can forget about his plan of hitting the ground running at the start of the season. As someone mentioned yesterday, we'll be hitting the ground crawling. Time's running out!!

Luckily there were 0 comments when i read the article this morning.

I expect it's all the usual doom & gloom merchants posting as usual.  Is it the end of the world?

I don't understand why they allow comments to be made, why don't the Adver just disable it?

It's understandable the the worriers are showing a little bit of concern, I don't agree with the scale of panic that the Adver is conjuring up though.

As far as we know, there are no more suitors so it's just a case of sorting the fee and other incentives for Celtic.

However,  fitness levels aside, it's always worrying to see Celtic select Ferry for fixtures where it's a safe bet that he's going to look great, Lincoln City being that match.

I bet it's very rare in the history of transfers that the first bid has ever been accepted by a selling club.

Close season Fitton says that we need to get the players in earlier to get off to the best possible start, but its the same as last year. Ideal world you have the squad together to go away to Austria and bond, no denying that, yet we're still what 5/6 players off the squad Wilson has said we need. It frustrates me how long these things seem to take. I'm content with the three added so far but the squad is weaker than the squad we finished last season with, and as a fan all i want is progression year after year, at the moment thats not happened. Fingers crossed we get some positive news in the next couple of weeks.

Wasnt somebody saying yesterday Radio Swindon reported that Ferry and Caddis deals should be done early this week?!

I would take all these stories as a pinch of salt, the media dont know what's happening any more than we do, well at least most of them dont. will happen when it(if) happens, no point getting worked up.

At the moment, it's far too early to tell, the squad isn't complete and the season hasn't even started yet! We can, however, judge on last season when we at this stage of proceedings we were weaker, we had exactly the same kind of panic as expressed above and we definitely progressed then on the year before. Bit early to be breaking out the nervous nelly pills

The adver may well have it right. And i'm a worrier. But i'm still not concerned at this news just yet. If transfer deadline passes even then we have the loan market on a "loan with a view to a permanent deal" possible. Its only when fitton says its dead in the water i'll be concerned. But we aren't stupid enough to have no plan b. It just won't be as good as plan a, obviously!

I just love reading some of the OTT comments on the Adver website some people are just completely clueless about football goings on. 

Thank fuck they're not running the club.  I bet half of them were probably on the old STFC Diamandis board as they were clueless too  Cheesy

We're in the market for very good players, which will take time and patience. If we wanted crap we could have done 10 deals, which wouldn't have got us anywhere. The market is slow anyway, and the only team that has really strengthened is Huddersfield who have got in early and paid top whack. Will it do them any good? Didn't last year! It will all pan out in due course.
