Why can’t he name them? He has just repeated the profile of players that Warne himself said he is looking to bring in. Come on all ITKs, name names 🤔

Why can’t they name the players now then, rather than vague generalisations? Even so, still get one or two posters hanging on every word 🙄

We already miss out
Connolly signs for Stockport after leaving Blackpool
Derby makes me feel sick and very depressed sometimes
Why are we so slow at getting people in or why we sit back wait to think oh the player will call us hmm no derby bad derby do the work

Don't come crying to me half way through the season moaning about how bad we are because we signed a lots of old people

But but but we’ve missed out on a player to a team who’s just gone up from league 2.

So long as it isn’t the 50 players no-one else wanted to sign.

Day 1 of the summer window gone and no one has came in 
Day 2 still going to be like yesterday no one 
Last day of the window 50 new players I guess 😂 thanks Derby County

and help them out of their PSR black hole? no thanks! *
 
 
*tongue firmly in cheek

So who are we getting so far?! Keeper (Rodak/Iversen), Osborne, Ebou, Sheehan, Clark, Teitur, Murphy, Mubamba?

Players back then could play football no matter what age even into their 40s but players these days after 30 they fall apart on the pitch they don't put in the work but the kind of players back then could run circles around our team today 
 

I’ve heard the first three are almost done.
Ebou - fee 
Bobby Clark - season long loan
Iverson - Leicester- free 
I’ve heard we’ve spoken to a couple of defenders , two strikers , four CMs and two goalkeepers.
Sibley to re sign 
Collins - still undecided  May impact our decision to keep or loan out Brown 
As for one’s up for sale or have interest in 
Barks 
fornah 
bradley

I'd have John-Jules back if we can get him on an incentivised contract. Maybe a small wage, but combine it with a decent bonus for when he plays. However, I doubt he'd go for something like that as it is so obvious he's injury prone.

Could we get rid of Fozzy because he too old and I feel like he going to cost us games 

30+ year olds bring experience, leadership and a calming presence when the pressure is on, having a few 30+ year olds in the squad is never a bad thing but you cannot have a full squad of them, usually their tanks empty a lot quicker and their legs just aren't there anymore, of course exceptions can be made for the elite, Walker is a machine for example.
Look at Chelsea this season, they have a lot of very skillful players but they're severly lacking in the experience and leadership department, their squads average age is 23.7 years, if they bring in some experience they'd be pushing for a top 4 finish next season.
 
 

I have absolutely no problem in signing experienced players on a free - the problem is when you start paying fees for players late into their career. I would argue that it’s not advisable for a club in our situation.
Ultimately, we do need quality in any way we can get it. NML just had his career best year at 31/32. If the plan is to run a sustainable football club, outgoing transfers are a major part of being able to realise that. If you’re looking to compete, like we did in League One, the only factor is bring enough quality into the club. The resale value of assets is inconsequential, but I’d guess and hope that’s not the case now we’re in the Championship. 

Would it not be fair to say most 30+ year olds out of contract we're likely linked with are in that position because they are knackered physically (injuries)? Those examples above are world class players not run of the mill Championship/League 1 and with the exception of de bruyne they've stayed injury free.
