So far, it’s all very quiet on signings.  Should we be worried by the current state of the squad?

This is not an attempt to criticise Jolley but a niggling worry and wondering what others think?

Actually, the world cup is an ok fill in, but the real highlight of the summer is the GTFC rumour mill and there ae none at the moment.
Could someone help me out by starting one?

On the basis Jolley is picking off signings I think it's more about you being bored than it is Jolleys transfer market incompetence

I think there was an expectation that Jolley would make wholesale changes, with that comes a raft of signings.  But Jolley himself as said it will be evolution not revolution.

Looking at the squad we've already got I don't think we'll be making that many more signings.

Back up 'keeper
Another centre back/utility defender
Winger - if Dembele goes
Striker

I believe there is a date when all contracts run to , after that date is usually when it really takes off ?

That would leave us very very short out wide and up front

30th June is usually the date contracts expire.

It's a fine line because you don't want to be waiting until the last minute and ending up with crap like we did last summer, but also if you go in too early you may miss out on players that went under the radar a little and everyone missed.

I trust Jolley has his preferred targets lined up and he strikes me as the type to have numerous contingency plans in place should they not come to fruition.

Wingers (or players who can play on the wing) - Hooper, Woolford, Kelly, Wright, Clifton.  That's 5, not including Dembele or if Jolley brings one in.

Strikers (or players who can play up front) - Cardwell, Robles, Hooper, Rose, A.N Other.  That's 5.  Apart from when Hurst went a bit crazy, I don't remember too many campaigns where we've had more than 5 at any one point.  Jolley favoured a 1 up front towards the end of the season and I think he opted for that when in Sweden too.
