Much as we are hankering for news of actual signings, don't expect to hear anything until June. Most players' contracts extend until June and the transfer window doesn't open until June 10th so no-one - signings or free agents - are in any rush right now.

DC has said he wants to start his pre-season with most of the 2022-23 squad in place. Pompey are due back on July 20th so that gives a window of about a month when you can expect things to happen. Four players needed I would guess, maybe five.

For now, go on holiday, take a break. Ignore websites with 'rumours of' stories, closely followed by 'blow to hopes of signing...' stories. 

Take a chill pill. Have a beer. Enjoy the sun.

Yup, Cullen has said that's when they'll be announcing the signings they've been doing whilst we've all been crying about them not doing any work. 

Currently the best starting XI we can rustle up would be:

_________________Bass
Freeman Robertson Ogilvie Mnoga
Thompson Morris Tunnicliff hume
___________Curtis harness 

Bench:
Liam Vincent, Jay Mingi

Edit: Did we renew Reeco?

I think we also renewed Reid (who?) or at least the club said they were going to.

Everybody whose contract was due to expire and Dc wanted has been offered a new contract,so far only Jacobs has turned his down,I would imagine Raggett to follow. Recco,Thompson & Harness have accepted their new contract/extension.

I do enjoy a bit of misplaced optimism.
If it's right it looks like June 10th is going to be a really busy day!

that's not a bad starting point especially as we are likely to add several extended contracts before the window opens.

I just can't see us doing any major business in the transfer window.

We're linked to lots of players on Transfer News but players like Kyle Wooton who are more likely to go to a Championship side. If we can get both Hirst & Hayden back on loan that will be great but won't know until the last minute.

In my candid opinion Tornanate don't have a clue & are playing at managing the club.

The owners have said they want promotion but aren't backing that up with team investment.

Once the ground improvements are finished & ground capacity back to 20K there's No excuse to not invest on the pitch. If they persist with the "Eat what we kill" addage we're going nowhere so I 'd rather they're honest put the club up for sale & move on.

On the positive side they'll leave us debt free & the ground & training ground up to scratch hopefully.

For the fans 6 years in Div 1 is simply not good enough as we need to be in the Championship playing a decent level of football rather being turned over by clubs like Forrest Green Rovers.

Ffs we haven’t even got to the window yet and we certainly haven’t been turned over by Forest Green Rovers.

Try a little optimism, you’ll feel better for it.

Well we will be doing major business because we need about 10 players.

Cullen on Hayden Carter: "We'll continue to monitor that one and if there's any chance of us having him back then we'd love to have him... if we could do a permanent fantastic but I think that's relatively unlikely given Blackburn's plans for him"

I'll reserve judgement until then but don't expect any thing earth shattering. We all just want to see some decent football being played.
