Wael and hamer have been crystal clear on their stance regarding spending money on players. I'm not sure what else there suppose to tell people. It was made clear from day one that they wouldn't be spending big on players until the infrastructure was right. Have they, or have they actually said he'll have a competitive budget (and that was last season not this?) which could actually mean anything? Bar the top 3 or 4 clubs this summer's season ticket sales probably exceed most Div 1 clubs, average attendances could also exceed most Div 1 clubs, so I can't see why DC hasn't been given a top 6 budget, regardless of whether Wael wants to top it up with his own money or not. The whole club as a "feel good" feeling to it at present and it's down to DC & Wael/SH to keep that going with a successful season, which must surely be competing at the right end of the table. I can't see that happening with our present midfield. They have said many times our budget this year is competitive for league 1.

Not very clear at all............ He has cleared the debt bought the club and said from day ONE that the club will evolve... that means it has to stand on its own 2 feet and not be subsidised He also never said he has cleared the debt, the wonga loan yes, the other £6/7m we will have to wait for the financial figures for last season. Our season ticket sales, gates last season and wage budget which is hugely reduced from the previous regimes all would support aquiring a few decent league 1 players. Look forward to a chance to find out why we are not investing in the squad. Wael and hamer have been crystal clear on their stance regarding spending money on players.

Given were absolutely flying in terms of on the pitch football is there really any need to fork out shed loads on new players, especially at league one level. I'm more than happy for wael to pour his time an money into off field ventures like getting the stadium sorted , building a new training ground and improving the academy . How do you qualify flying on the pitch.we have won 1 game out of 4 in the league the only win against a fellow promotion side who slod their best 2 players in the close season? Double promotions = flying But who am I to get in the way of a good moan.

It would be nice to have a big signing of two, someone to really get the excitement levels up amongst the fans. At this point it's hard to know if Wael's being a bit tight (by alleged 'billionaire' standards) or if DC purposely wants to duck the inevitable pressure and expectation spending a bit of ££££ brings (a la Wenger!).

that DC has waited all summer and into the start of the season to sign? I ask this question because all along he has maintained that his first choices were very much still in the picture and yet when they come from the words they speak they do not sound like they have been chased for a long time so I wonder if he has missed out on some players which IMO is always the big risk of waiting so long before making signings. The other point would be that a defender and a Goalkeeper neither of whom have played at this standard before is not really what I expected to be waiting this long for. I really thought that we would see something to really inspire us in the Central midfield area/striker/winger area but also that it would be players who could come straight in the team and strengthen the current squad. I am not convinced these two will do that and feel that we could have got better or at least up to this standard BEFORE the season started. I very much hope that there will be two more creative players coming in before the deadline which would then make this seem more like good business. I have never been completely happy with Puddy as a no 2 and also have never been convinced with Greenslade as a replacement should Brown be injured but then today when I look at these two deals I do wonder if they will both start tomorrow which IMO would be harsh on Mildy and James Clarke. Have we missed out on DC's intended first choice signings? Will two more still be coming in?What do people think? Don't really seen how it's harsh on mildly to drop him he is a very average keeper at this level and hasn't got a decent save in him any more. Roos said he was first told about rovers interest 2 weeks ago and Roberts was yeovils player of the year last season so I would go as far to say theses are DC's first choice signings.

keeper situation really needed sorting , need a attacking central midfielder in next. Nah we've got Easter. If we are going to play 3-5-2 a lot this season ( which I'd rather we didn't )then Easter should be behind the two. Id rather we brought in a midfield general to push Olly and Sinclair for competition. Have to take into account there will be no loan window. Going to need a big squad so wouldn't be supprised to see 2 cms coming in.

but there was no deal with UWE (other than words). Nothing concrete or watertight. I think Rovers under NH were desperate to build it and were prepared to give away as much silver as possible. Obvie; WAQ isn't going to want to do that Perhaps there was no contract officially in place but you sense some kind of deal must have been agreed in principle with the UWE, but if it was a poor deal perhaps NH did us a good turn by not putting pen to paper on a contract. The deal between rovers and the uwe was dependant on the sainsburys deal , the sainsburys saga wasn't just about getting funding in place. once the sainsburys deal fell through the deal with the uwe went with it.

It's ok to joke about it now.. Let's hope we don't find ourselves in a relegation scrap otherwise there will be tears. That being said, it seems as though we are so numb towards sh1teness that we could probably bounce down to the conference again and some would still see the positives! And on the flip side we could get double promotions and some would still find things to moan about . Football is a fickle game.

Sinclair isn't really there for the attacking play he's there to put tackles in , win the ball and make a pass. Incidentally he didn't put a single pass astray last night.

DC just said on the radio that he will have 3 or 4 players in before the window closes and 1 player will go out on loan tomorrow. Jake gosling will be going on loan tomoz , don't know where though.

Mildenhall is just not a very good goalkeeper anymore, he was very over hyped during the run in last year and needs to be replaced.

The thing about mildenhall is he doesn't have a good save in him any more. he can do the basics well but if you want a keeper that's going to win you points he is not your man. From memory he brought off a couple of brilliant saves late last season, but it looks like the forum's got its first target of the season already, even if he actually did nothing wrong yesterday - well done! Thought he was average last year , no better now.
