gregorystevens, I fully understand your sentiments however we just made poor signings when it came to most journeymen we signed and this was down to the Managers at the time. There have been some good ones and I personally think that DC is capable of getting us the right people in if he is given money. Of course I don't know because he has never been given much money (or so we are led to believe). It will be the next stage of DC as a Manager which I hope we find out how good he is at using money rather than another club. To move the club up a notch we need to be signing SOME known and proven players especially in the "goalscorer" bracket-they do not come cheap. There are still those who say he won't sign 10 or 11 but I say he has NO CHOICE because with the loan rules we have to start the season with about 26 players so signing that number is a necessity and not a choice.

I think though when DC says 10 or 11. people instantly think we are trying to sign 10 or 11 permanent players.
I would guess we would look at 6 or 7 permanent and 3 or 4, 6 month/season long loans ala Clarke-Salter, Boateng etc to bolster the squad.
Of course no doubt people will moan that no one will loan us players because we didn't use them etc, despite it being the same for every team

Lumley & Sweeney weren't "known" to any of us before they signed but Lawrence was, DC may need to sign a known striker, or strikers, but not sure about the other players.

Dread the thought that maybe two players could be sold. We are not immune to an acceptable bid for ANY player whatever anyone might say - it's the type of business we're in. If that turns out to be the case I hope every penny is given to DC to use.

In todays market signing 10-11 ordinary players does not come cheap and I am sure that the squad we started last season with would not have been cheap when you consider that we had 28 players of which 22 were players who you could say would all have been looking to have been in the starting 11 and definitely the match day squad. If we had not been taken over by Waels family I can see no way that we could have afforded to have such a huge squad for the level we are playing. ]

Let's just see who DC brings in before we draw judgement about the signings, as with the UWE, The Colony etc the ALQ have got to be thinking of securing around £50/60m of investment in the club in the next couple of years alone, so giving DC a decent budget this summer is hardly going to break the bank. If it was all just a pipe dream then it'll become clear over the summer.

Well with our budget only just being decided and 10 or 11 players to come in assuming the other three who haven't signed yet,do it is interesting to see that Bury have already signed three players and two are players I would have loved to seen come to us- Jermaine Beckford and Stephen Dawson (from Scunthorpe). Of course Northern clubs have a huge advantage with so many more clubs at our level around them but the truth is we probably don't have the financial clout to get players from even say Exeter. Both those players would have been of the sort of quality that a side aiming for the Championship should be signing. I await with interest who our first signings will be but hope that we see some action in this direction soon as in my opinion the "late" signings are generally going to be ones who use us as a last resort rather than us being top of their list. The trouble we have is that if you want a player who has a good goalscoring record then they are going to be a) expensive or 2) have a lot of clubs interested in them.and this is true whether you are going for a striker or a goalscoring midfielder or winger. It may be a case of getting someone like Beckford who are on their way down but have the chance that by dropping down they are able to find the net regularly again. Hope you are enjoying your humble pie?

Blimey, some are obsessed with Peterborough and now Bury have a 5 page thread! We can't worry about others, let's concentrate on ourselves and DC this week has made a very good start. I suspect that Bury will struggle to sustain this spending although they might have found a benefactor. But with respect to Bury, I'm very glad I support the gas and it's great to see us growing slowly but steadily. That will suit me! UTG!

Who cares what Bury do? FFS - they are spunking money up the wall they don't have in a desperate attempt. If they fail (and even if they succeed), three seasons down the line they'll be back in their semi-pernnial 'staring at the financial abyss' state.
Some clubs will never learn.
And neither will some posters on here.

Stevek just look how much the sh!t spent last season and almost went down DC will hand pick the players he needs and not rush out and sign anyone to please you or any other fan he's the manager and will sign who and when the time and players are right so sit back and relax everyone team building began with LS UTG
