Maybe we're not going to announce the 'big signings' until the season ticket offer has passed so the fair weather supporters foot the bill...

Like most of us I was getting concerned about the transfer activity taking place but having given it some thought I've brightened up a little...
I think the biggest problem was that I hadn't heard of any of the players (apart from Knight) that have arrived and made the assumption that they can't be any good, but is that fair?
Smith, Devera and De Vita were all 'player of the year' or very popular at their previous clubs, Comazzi has played regularly at a standard that I would imagine is higher than league 2, the foreign triallists sound like they have had pretty solid careers to date around Europe and will be hungry to be successful in England and as for Leon Knight, IF he gets his head right we know he'll score at league 2 level.
Lots of ifs and buts and no doubt 2 or 3 players still to come.
As for signings made by other teams, Rovers look to be going down the tried and trusted route and would probably be a safe bet for the play-offs, I don't want to be a 'safe bet for the play-offs' though so on that basis I'll take our 'riskier'  signings over theirs in the hope we have title winning potential!    Cheesy

I don't think that's true at all. Generally people don't seemed concerned by the quality, as you say, we don't know them. Its the lack of speed of signings coupled with suspect agent involvement.

Di Canio is no Alan Buckle but thats what we want dont we? I have said it before but I think he will not want to be seen as a failure and will want to be seen as being a bit different to other Buckle type managers in this league. It is a risk and one that will see him berated if it goes tits up. I can just see the posts coming in now, moaning about we should have gone down the Rovers route etc. It will be shit or bust but that`s what supporting this team has always been about....we had the shit last season and `things can only get better`

Even Im starting to come over to Knight. Maybe he can tide us over until the deadline day transfer window deals, and score against the Pox in the meantime?

Winners against City, Cheltenham and Oxford would certainly help

When Alan next Googles himself he'll get a nice surprise.
