What a complete Shit Show the transfer window has been we are losing our best players left right and centre, and yet after a decent start signing (Naismith ,Saville ) all we have is a 17 year old from league 1 Exeter, I thought Sweet said the board may have taken its eye off the ball with new stadium and all that last season, he also said this transfer window will be different we need to hit the ground running, the only thing that’s hitting the ground running is our best players the money keeps poring in and nothing going out , we haven’t spent one penny on the 3 signings so far , and before people have a go at me about plenty of time left in the window, this is a load off bolloks the players should be in now to get a decent pre-season and hit the ground running , unfortunately we will end up with the dross at the end of the window and fuckin journeymen , anyway enjoy league 1 as I believe we will be in it for many years . Rant over cu later .

Let’s see where we are 1/8/25

Surely they’ll be at least one decent striker signing

Doughty will need to be replaced when/if sold

Given according to MB they didn’t want to sell TA that money at the very least can be invested in a quality signing

Bloomfield has said yesterday he won't have the squad available that he wants by that point.

Doughty is going to Slovenia so doesn't look like he's going anywhere anytime soon.

That’s be great news if he stays imho

"we haven’t spent one penny on the 3 signings so far". A fee is being paid for the lad from Exeter. I suggest you either re-read the signing article and maybe get someone to help you with the big words.

FWIW a 17 year old with 30 plus games under his belt in League 1 with a team that didn't struggle last season will have something about him.

Don't be silly, it's the Luton Way. Transfers go out of the window when we have just released a shirt. We are little Luton and should just put up with this.

Wait until PC is built and we have a Domino's stand, a Piri Piri enclosure and such.

And don't say too much before you upset the ' we came back from rhe dead ' crowd. What is happening now has fuck all to do with that, but it will forever be used to defend what is happening.

Your relentless whining posts have been so OTT and hysterical.

The majority of people on here have been slagging off 2020 for 18 months now, yet at the same time complaining that "You can't say anything negative about the board."

The ones who defend the board get called happy clapers, arse lickers, Gary's Clique, etc.

But the reality is that most of these people (I include myself in this group) would agree that last season was a disaster. They'd also probably admit they were wrong in thinking the board would fix things last season (I admit it). I thought the squad last summer actually didn't need much doing to it. It was the core of the team that went up, and for me, keeping the squad from the PL together was the most important thing. The only positions I thought we really needed strengthening was the two wing backs, and a creative central midfielder. But it turns out the rot had set in, some players thought they were too good for us, others had lost all confidence, Edwards had lost the plot (If he ever had it), and 2020 were way too complacent.

And here is where you should probably take a deep breath and count to ten, Whhatter, because we did come back from the dead, and get to the PL from Non League in 9 seasons. One shit season doesn't undo 9 of constant success. So yeah, I'm not shitting the bed and calling for GS's head (Although I do think he is a bit removed from what the fan base thinks these days, and that there probably needs to be a couple of appointments to fix that).

Do you not understand the arguement that where we've come from IS still relevant? And that's why people talk about it? Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford are the only clubs really comparable to where we were in the PL. But they have huge financial backing. We don't. We've overachieved massively in the last 4/5 years. We shouldn't have gone down last season, no doubt about it and I was as angry and gutted as you were. But look at the Championship, and look at who owns each club. It's mainly either a rich American or a batshit owner from somewhere else like Chansiri, or the geezer who owns Hull who have put the club in an absolutely perilous state. We are completely unique. Yes, 2020 have made mistakes. But after so much success there was always going to be a pull back in that. I don't want some American owning us. I don't want a lunatic owning us. And if that means we plat L1 football for a couple of years, I'm fine with it.

Do you all not get bored with the absolute relentless negativity. And there is a difference between blind, happy clapping, positivity, and waiting until the transfer window is shut before deriding the season a total failure.

Fair play to you as well.
I know you're a genuine supporter, and you have valid concerns.
Last season was the most deprssing since Buckle. And that means people are entitled to be extremely pissed off. I just think a dose of pragmatisim is needed (In football as a whole tbh), right now.

Once we got relegated we had to get the high earners off the wage bill. We’ve largely done that and obviously need to sign some players although a decent core remains. Let’s see where we are by the time we head to Slovenia and I’ll eat my words if nothings happened by then.

Agree that we still have a core that is more than good enough for League One.

They go tomorrow morning.

It wouldn't surprise me if there a couple of new players going - pure guesswork but it's happened before.

Re: Complete Shit Show

Fair enough Outsider. I’d be very surprised if we don’t have a few signings lined up this week. We need recruitment in a few core areas but the core really isn’t that bad. Let’s hope for news this week

We've made three very good looking signings.

But don't let that ruin your misery. You deserve it.

2 and a half really as Naismith was here last season.

There is plenty of time, but, like others, I would like and expect a real statement of intent signing or three.

I'm not fussed about the departures, as far as I'm concerned anyone who played for us last year can go

Yep. A real statement of intent was expected by many. So far its just the usual 'meh'. Saville and Naismith, both free transfers with a combined age of 65, the latter unlikely to feature in more than half our games. The young lad is a promising signing but a bit much to expect a kid thats not even old enough to buy a pint to carry us to promotion.
Happy with the exits but the usual disappointment with the lack of incoming. Would have expected quite a bit more before they squad goes abroad.

Good Lord, we've signed three players.

Why are you so desperate to minimise it?

Re: Complete Shit Show

Yes we've signed three players. One of them was here last season so it doesn't have that new signing feel.
I think Naismith is a decent signing but he's hardly a new face in the door.

Who is coming in to replace Aasgaard, Morris and Kaminski? They were key players last season and I want to see 3 big statement signings to replace them. We need to show ambition.

Plenty of time, of course

Re: Complete Shit Show

Do we need a big statement signing to replace Kaminski - I would say that Walton and Shea plus a back-up keeper would be good enough for this division.

Re: Complete Shit Show

Have we seen Walton so far this pre season?

To be fair I've not actually seen him ever

Re: Complete Shit Show

Have we seen Walton so far this pre season?

We have had one game so far.

To be fair I've not actually seen him ever

I've seen him play against us three times although two of those were during Covid so were on iFollow.

My comments are mainly based on reports about his performances which tends to be what we have to rely on when assessing new signings.

I'd prefer to see him given a try before making a "big statement signing" in a position where we have two players who are likely to be perfectly adequate for this division.

Key to what though ?
Relegation ?

Re: Complete Shit Show

Well yeah.

My point was they were all starters, in theory our bets players. We can't replace them with people already here

Re: Complete Shit Show

We can't replace them with people already here

See my post above re replacing Kaminski.

Re: Complete Shit Show

Indeed we can't.
Just narked at all associated with last seasons shitshow.
Looks like the next big will he won't he is Alfie, he's going to Slovenia it seems.

Yes, though I have got minor grief just for suggesting people might not want to type it out for the 100th time

. They seem to need it.

Re: Complete Shit Show

we haven’t spent one penny on the 3 signings so far

Really?? - we may not have actually made a payment yet but we will have to.
