    It's a topic that's been covered a lot this summer. Roll on Saturday for some proper football chat. 

  • Is this another lack of signings thread?

Don't think it's a case of not willing, probably more like not needed. I'm sure Pearson knows what he's doing

To be honest, I don't see what benefit there is to adding to this squad. More chopping and changing just brings more instability, and we've already spent heavily. We have a massive squad already, we could even stand to lose a few more. 

Keepers: Grant, Carson, Roos, Mitchell - No issues there

Rightback: Christie, Hanson, Baird?, Keogh? - Maybe a bit light there, depending on formation Hanson is likely to have that as his main position this season though, got Rawson too

Leftback: Forsyth, Olsson - Two good players there, Lowe to step up if needed, no issues there

Centreback: Keogh, Shackell, Pearce, Hanson? - Maybe a bit light there, but again, we've got Rawson still

Central midfield: Thorne, Hughes, Hendrick, Bryson, Johnson, Baird, Butterfield - Even got Elsnik, literally swimming in them

Forwards: Martin, Russell, Ince, Bent, Blackman, Weimann, Camara - Got Bennett as well, another area that we're swimming in options

This isn't a small squad in desperate need of additions, it's a squad bursting at the seams that needed some new direction and leadership. Unless there's a sudden exodus, we're fine.

How do you know he's not willing?

id suggest if NP wanted someone then Mel would get his wallet out

people really need to stop making statements of fact when they clearly haven't got a clue!

Thought I'd add a couple of names to further prove your point.

Certainly smells like one...
