Some people were worried a month or 6 weeks ago but I was happy enough that we waited until most contracts expired at the end of June. 10 days later and still no left back nor someone to take the vacant number 9. Yes, still over 3 weeks to the big kick off but I hoped to have seen the new guys in, training and bonding with their team-mates. I am sure RS wanted the same so is it proving harder than he expected or are we not offering enough by security or wages? Hopefully my unease will be eased this time next week

But I imagine we have some loan moves targeted of younger players should we need it, such as Hart who has been mentioned.

Guest User	It's not necessarily budget constraints, could be that the players that RS wants don't want to come to Grimsby or they are also talking with other clubs.  Maybe thrashing out contract details takes longer than we think, or possibly the player wants to look at housing available before he makes a decision.  I can imagine there are quite a few reasons RS hasn't got his men yet, and yes, budget constraints could also be part of it, we are not a rich club and cannot be held to ransom over wages for a new player.

Past managers have always stated how difficult it is to get players to move here. Don't think Blundell Park helps either when other suitors have modern well equipped stadiums.

Chickson signed for a league one club and maynard scottish prem. Players may wait to sign for a club as high as possible to then sign for us later if nothing materialises. I still expect us to have our squad in place within the next fortnight

Not every player has all of those things but I'm sure available ones are out there and as time goes on maybe a bit more likely to sign for a club like ours.   "Crombie you would have got to that if you weren't such a fat ba%$@rd" - George Kerr, inspiration from the dug out 70s style
