Very dissapointed not to see a proven striker brought in . I know there is time but then there will be time needed to get fit or get over the inevitable injury and then time needed to gel. We never seem to give ourselves the best chance do we? Hope KN us true to his word and we see the investment I'm afraid Brum stepping in and making Alfie May an offer he couldn't refuse derailed the striker plans. I am hopeful that Michael Duff will find a suitable alternative. Duff is the reason I'm expecting a very good 24-25 for Huddersfield Town F.C. but unless Chris Davies is incredibly incompetent then second place is probably the best that can be expected. I'm sure that would more than satisfactory.

I am aware of that. Like I said, I was just venting. No need to take everything so literal. Just seems to me other clubs are making more moves than we are. What are you venting at when there are things the club cannot change on their own? Simpson has gone and possibly Thomas soon. I assume Thomas is on a good contract so that should free a space for a good quality replacement. There will be players the club would like to move, and may be able to, but these ones are always slower. If the Matos rumour is correct, which I hope it is, we would then just need a striker, two for preference but I think we will just get the one, hopefully very good for this level. People keep saying we need a left sided centre back but if we keep Spencer he could easily take the left side centre back slot, and right sided players can cover there anyway. We would all love to see all the business done by now ready for the season start but it never happens that way. Although other clubs appear to be signing more than us how good are the players? We don't need quantity we need quality, lets hope we get it before the window ends.

I do wonder was May the only target?
Surely the recruitment team has a list of alternatives if that deal failed.
Given the time elapsed sine May went elsewhere I do wonder if they had pinned their colours to one mast.
Once again we look at our recruitment team.
We seem to have signed some decent players but a proper Striker has been our undoing for a while.
We can all see it.
Why when the May deal went south wasn’t there an immediate alternative.
Lots of noises made by the owner etc but if we start this season without a new recognised striker we will be hamstrung from the start.

I'm sure that would more than satisfactory. I actually think as daft as it may sound. Brum getting Alfie May over us, completely deflated the board and we almost I feel lost a bit of momentum. We probably thought we'd have a a lot more pulling power and could swing our bollocks about. But, got pegged back a bit. He for sure (surely?) was our #1 target for us. I'd be inclined to say a few of the latest Brum signings were extremely high up our wanted list too. We've made some decent acquisitions. I am still worried about the lack of outgoings we've had considering a lot of the existing group have had a losing mentality for a while. But, I fear that we've not replaced any of the outgoings we'd like with anything better in terms of quality yet. I think I saw it mentioned about how the window doesn't close until end of August. Which I do know there's always a domino effect with transfers, with clubs looking to bring in replacements before hand, or have someone lined up. But, I've never ever liked not getting your key influential signing in early doors before the 1st ball is kicked at the start of the competitive season. We've not got long now for that to happen season kicks off relatively soon. We're in desperate need for a pacey CB (now Balker is out) while praying we manage to keep Nicholls and Helik. Need a better ball playing and good defensive midfielder (with brains, and preferably with pace), 1 good winger, and 2 really good strikers to pair up with/ and to compete with Healey.

I understand your point but if it was me I would have been negotiating with more than one. The time since indicates they thought it was in the bag . It’s not rocket science have multiple targets . I’m not convinced they did at the point the May deal failed.

to be fair, Turton is a great squad option for centre half, right wb and even Lwb and dcm at a push. Koroma if Duff can get him focused , could be very much a leading player for us at this level (its a big if to get JK to frame for a whole season i know) . Jackson i totally agree, as he just has not shown enough for me, you seem some things , then just doesn't do the basics right to be consistent enough. Plus with the options at LWB it would make sense to let him move on. Differing opinions but fair enough on your reasoning. Turton in my view has improved whilst not being in the team, like many do when the team is so bad. We have Spencer and Sorensen for right wb now plus kasumu in an emergency. Not sure if he will properly get over his recent injuries and he wasn't exactly fast before. Cheers. Kasumu should be moved on asap for me, nowhere near good enough

no don't think so , he signed a new deal just prior to the play off final- it seems he is contracted to at least 2026, can't remember if there is an option .

Anyone know if Diarra has actually left? he was released, if he/ when he finds a new club we should be entitled to some compo - as we did offer him a new deal.

Things are definitely being kept as quiet as possible under the new regime but a striker is done I’m lead to believe Probs keeping it extra quiet, due to as you say the May saga. Plus i would think, it will be sorted by next week to meet up with the squad on their return.

Problem is we are reactive not proactive. I have no idea what's going on behind the scene's but i bet they are exploring every avenue within reason and like you i hope the club can finish the job for once.

We need to stabalise the club and squad first plenty of work to do before we can move players on and Kasumu will play apart hopefully not as a 6 see him as an 8 if we need to close the games out.

Do you reckon you can make a comment without referring to someone calling you out/disagreeing with your opinion? I respect your passion and opinion and you’re a good poster but it’s a bit relentless how often you need to say something about someone disagreeing with you.

It would be typical of Town to let Helik and Nicholls leave in the last few days of the transfer window,not replace them and also fail to sign any decent strikers. I'm hope I'm wrong but this sort of thing has happened plenty of times before!

We need Kasumu and think in league 1 he will be fine.
Any money we spend now needs to be spent on the front five . It will be there where we pick up extra points. It’s where we lack quality.
A striker and a Sorba replacement.
That’s the two I think Nagle was referring too.
