Fair enough. My view is the current first XI is capable of top 7. The lack of depth causes concern for me over the course of the season but this will be fixed by the end of August. No major panic alarms for me
That's fine, we disagree on the first team, so we won't have the same view on current business, such is life. I want a top three first XI with the back-ups to ensure it remains at least in the top 7 for the season. That is my expectation for our club at this level. Right now there are too many players who can be good, but showed they can be very average last season as well. Too much inconsistency for a top three group. The depth is non existent, almost. Lavinier is one of those I think could be a good depth player, but losing him clearly diminishes that in my world view.

Skimmed reading back after a cracking day at the GBBF.
So, the benchmark for bottom feeding budgets making good would be Accrington in 2017-18 when they got promoted as champions. Prior to start of that season they had signed 3 on free transfers & 2 for undisclosed fees.
To my relatively simple mind a "competitive" L2 budget that has funded 3 loans thus far should be able to sustain a 200k (or so) bid for a key target with 3 or 4 days left until start of the season.
Circumstances can of course change over 3 or 4 months since we were reassured by senior management & a club admitting to being brassic isn't likely to encourage a flood of interest from the market.
My, somewhat forlorn, hope now is that the 2 or 3 bodies desperately needed to shore up the defence can still be brought in before the window swings gently to at the end of August.

Says it in the bloody screenshot. I'm not with it today, much like our transfer activity.

I think John McEnroe said it best.

Still doesn't track with update from Sat where it was 2 or 3 basically done. So still sounds like something has gone wrong somewhere sadly.

I’ll take that considering what I fell for about an hour or so ago.
