We've had two years in a row where the new manager was announced almost on the same day of the year. I believe Clement was on the 1st June 2015 whilst Pearson was a few days earlier in 2016.

By the 22nd June 2015 we had signed the following:

Chris Baird

Darren Bent

Scott Carson

Alex Pearce

Andi Weimann

 

I hate the quietness too. :o

Should've signed at least half a dozen already. Just rumours would do for me, it's silly season after all.

Phew, saw the thread title and thought ffs here we go, it's not even July yet and someones moaning we've made no signings!

Will be one thread in the next couple weeks tho, guarantee it, in full agreement with you by the way.

Depending on the system we might not need any signings at all this year. Sometimes think we all forget just how strong this squad is and how much talent is at our disposal. 

Some have written the likes of Weimann, Johnson, Bent off, these are top top players for this level that we didn't see the best of last season. Far too quick to shout he's crap, bin him off and spend x million on x player please.

Stability.

Starting a fresh each season won't do us any good, we have a big influx of players last season, no need to introduce another bunch of new faces to the dressing room. 

You will look silly when Pearson sells off those players,plus Baird,Goodman and a few others.

As I said in another thread, I don't want to hear any rumours about signings until two weeks into pre-season at least.  With Mel itching to blow his wad on players we rushed in and bought players for the hell of it, before PC knew what he had or what formation to play.  This led to a few square pegs in round holes.  Can't afford to do it again...

Clement had absolutely no idea how he was going to set us up until about five games into the season. By this point he'd spent £15,000,000 on players. This was catastrophic. You have to have some idea of what you have at your disposal and how you're going to use them before you make signings, otherwise you get decent players not playing.

Take Weimann for example. From little snippets from various articles it's clear that we signed Weimann as a striker and then decided to go with a lone forward, with Clement going on to say 'Andreas can't play out wide' or words to that effect. That's criminal.

We need to get this summer right or I feel next summer could be a complete re-build.

That list is missing off Fuchs and Okazaki too. Apparently Kanté was as good as done before he was sacked as well!

Fuchs (free), Huth (£3m) and Okazaki (£7m) signed the day after he was sacked so must have been his deals. Kante (£5.6m) took another month to join.

That list looks more impressive every time that you look at it. Rample

I think that Mel will save himself a few quid letting Nigel pick his own players. No chance of telling Nigel that he must have a particular player. He kn

The only question mark is can he do it without Steve Walsh? On the basis that he chose Steve Walsh for the position, I'm betting yes.

Nigel will have kept the list in his head of players that they had been looking at for sure. Maybe one or two will come here next season. Watch out for a change in the scouting at some point.
