Great points made by all, and a really interesting debate about, basically, our lack of activity and our aging squad - 2 things that CAN'T be disputed so far.
Love the way that everyone on here is prepared to listen to other views, makes this board so much better than most!

Plus I haven't reminded people that I'm an eternal pessimist since the last transfer window!

Be patient guys. No players will sign until after the Austrian Hills torture is completed! Lol! ? ⛰

Chadli not travelled with the squad to undergo his own fitness plan... someone cant be assed with the hills! poor this!

Yeh a signing, not a new one but someone signed something at least HRK signs new deal, Dawson still on the fence, though expected to sign shortly.

You've put forward some good points so you're not too pessimistic to be fair Slick

Getting my £1.00 bets ready to back us to get relegated 25/1 to finish bottom.  No I am not being negative, I just always lose football bets so if I back us to get relegated, hopefully I will lose as normal.  £3.00 cheap insurance policy

Got so feed up of waiting for TP & Co I thought I would spend this weeks pocket money and go make a few signings of my own.  I hope people are happy with my choices, I could not decide on a LB.

A little concerned about the Chadli rumours of the moment and suggestions that Pulis might look to offload him.

First - the squad and team spirit is a significant thing and any player not prepared to be part of this does get isolated and can become an outcast to the rest of the players if they feel 'special' treatment has been given or the players seems to feel they are above things.

It's dangerous and a bad thing to not be part of the Austria trip regardless how unpleasant the regime might be.

But I did read that Chadli had discussed this with Pulis and had a personal fitness programme to follow which was accepted by West Brom and he will follow that and join the squad for the pre-season tour - so, really, is there an issue here or not?

The press seem to feel there is bad blood here which I had not previously detected in the articles I read.

Two targets gone ...
Taylor to Burnley
Iborra to Leicester  

Yes, missing those two is disappointing.
