So same as the last two years then. Lots of talk but when it comes down to it we are either outbid by league 2 clubs or due to press or agent chatter alerting other clubs, fail to get deals over the line. I really hoped this season we may have learned to go in early and get the deals done ala Sheffield Wednesday (8 players signed), but no we hold out and hold out and once again it end up with nothing but disappointment. The sad thing is most of us on here wait patiently but expect it to happen again. Hoping it won’t but preparing once again for this definition of insanity.
We should have concluded the Bishop deal weeks ago, why can’t the Eisners support the process financially especially when it was obvious harness would go and money would be returned.
Update: So piggot signed on loan and harness sold, Bishop likely lost at 11th hour, Hirst absolutely no chance (championship bound) Not the attacking force we all hoped for after such a long wait since June 10th. All we’ve actually done is sold one of our most creative players to a rival and agreed to develop one of their assets for a year. Five years on this is hardly “brick by bloody brick”or “eat what you kill”.
What/Who next? Expect a few last minute trialists tonight and Saturday, either freebies or loans as usual
