It's pretty concerning that we're still talking more about outgoings than incomings. Pascal's gone for what I think is a bargain fee, Perri's out on loan, Darlow looks close to leaving, yet some of the players who are really inflating the wage bill are still here.

It feels like we're always slow in the market and end up getting beaten to targets by clubs we're competing with. I'd love to see us get our business done early for once, get the new signings settled in, and give them a full pre-season with the squad. Unfortunately, it looks like we're heading down the same path again.

Trust the process? Nah.

The club very much needs an experienced, savvy Director of Football to steer this club. Marathe and 49ers should be strengthening our recruitment expertise.

Is this a deja vu moment from last year, when Underwood's abilities, even his parentage, were called into question, and yet the large majority of the purchases were a success and arguably worth a good deal more than their original fees.

Due to ridiculous, top-six slanted regulations of PSR and profitability, we may have less to spend than the promoted sides.

Judge the window when it's closed.

Buying early doesn't necessarily mean buying better, and if we bought the next Raphinia in the last hour of the window, is that somehow less of a signing? WC hasn't finished yet, and all the big teams' dominoes will need to be played first, then we can hopefully buy a stronger player than we currently have.

It's crazy to think there's some weird conspiracy in not signing players or not spending all that we have.

There has to be a process to trust, first of all, surely?

4.) 10 Jul 2026 19:59:02
Of course there's a process, it's just that we don't know what it is. If I were the club, I certainly wouldn't tell you, bunch of rascals, what it is, cos you'd just go and blab it to the rest of the world.

5.) 10 Jul 2026 20:04:28
Guaranteed the process didn't account for Darlow effing off?

6.) 10 Jul 2026 20:07:41
Definitely Corkey.

7.) 10 Jul 2026 21:02:47
Really, Corkey? They didn't think guaranteeing KD #1, or paying him the type of money he was after, would make him a flight risk?

I agree they wouldn't naturally expect KD to get better offers, but I believe (certainly don't know) the process in this scenario is focused on a keeper upgrade. I think we're all guessing to some extent. Time will tell.

8.) 10 Jul 2026 22:13:38
Don't believe for a minute they thought Man U would come in for KD.

9.) 10 Jul 2026 22:16:02
He wasn't regarded as first choice, so, as he was only likely to be no. 1 at a Championship club, he probably decided to go with the best offer. Man U obviously did that, especially as they are likely to dump Bayindir. It was a salary increase and the possibility of the FA Cup and maybe some European games.

We haven't handled this well. Darlow worked well with the defence last season, and there were none of the recriminations that Meslier had. We shouldn't be spending money on something that wasn't broke.

10.) 11 Jul 2026 07:19:01
Panic not, Alex Cairns has signed a new deal, we are sorted for a keeper. ?

Couldn't agree more with the last part of your opening post, Class.
As for Darlow, it's pretty obvious to me that the bright lights of a so-called elite club have tempted Darlow to switch clubs.

I'm certain the club didn't want him to leave, and it was not a question of his salary.

Too many on here want to beat our owners with a big stick all the time. I really don't understand why.

12.) 11 Jul 2026 14:13:00
If the club didn't want him to leave, why not offer him a contract in the season when he was number 1?
And, not about his salary?
You must be a share holder. You talk pooh plops.

13.) 11 Jul 2026 15:16:02
Due to all the financial restraints, it would be logical, would it not, to keep Darlow, especially if he had a decent last season.
It's very logical to me that Darlow already had a whisper in his ear during last season from a certain club.

That's why he refused to talk about a contract extension.
I'm no shareholder, Pooh boy.

Aus and OP Tom and Jerry act entertaining as ever.
