TMELcfc Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Not sure I'm panicking, but I've had a 'sicky' feeling since Pearson got sacked and it's only got worse since Cambiasso said he's leaving. Being linked to Villa as well, if it could get any worse... Feeling more and more sceptical and depressed rather than full of optimism and joy. Top after 15 games and I might start to feel better...
Corky Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Concerned about the lack of midfield additions, our weakest area by far. And before anyone frothing at the mouth jumps in and squeals "give Ranieri a chance, NFP's gone, get over it blah blah", I would be concerned if the great man was still in charge and this was still our midfield line-up.
lgfualol Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Surely we have to sign someone by the weekend? I did say this last week so getting a bit of deja vu.
Tuna Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Lets all panic shall we. Even if we sign no one else we will be going into the season with the same midfield we started with last season minus James but plus a fit Drinkwater and both he and King and to a lesser extent Hammond have all shown they are capable players. We now have Huth, Okazaki, Kramaric and Fuchs on top of what we started with last season, IE better and arguably with a more tactically astute manager. I'd love for a marquee midfielder and we already know CR is working to that end so lets relax shall we.
benpicko Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 The fact that we're not even being linked to anybody at the moment is what's annoying me. The latest threads are basically all just players that either the OP wants or who we had tenuous links to last year.
TheReaper87 Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Joey Barton will sign the day before the season starts. As much as this was said in jest, I fear he will be one of our new signings

I'd love for a marquee midfielder and we already know CR is working to that end so lets relax shall we. James started last campaign on crutches. DD got injured first game Hammond and king were our CM for the first three games till EC appeared at half time against Stoke. We defended deep and got lucky at Stoke. Hammond looked less mobile later last season than he had early on. And he's no athlete! We need at least one CM in within the next seven days. Otherwise, they have no opportunity to settle in whatsoever. I'm not panicking yet but if we are nowhere further on this time next week, I will start to get mildly apoplectic.
les-tah Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 I'm concerned. Particularly CMs, there is a level of understanding required in a partnership. That takes time. Time which is getting smaller. we are gonna have to sign 2 CMs and lock them in a room until they have made love and have a positional understanding.
deep blue Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Not sure I'm panicking, but ... Top after 15 games and I might start to feel better... Like we were under Peter Taylor?
lgfualol Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 2 weeks tomorrow. *breathes in* pppppPPPPPPAAAAAAANNNNNNNIIIIIIIIICCCCC
TMELcfc Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Like we were under Peter Taylor? Who is this Peter Taylor you speak of? I find no records in my memory of a Peter Taylor...
Fox 4 Life Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 I am slightly worried but the fact all 3 new signings so far this summer flew completely under the radar and we're hardly reported before announced, makes me feel better! The club must be working very hard to keep a lid on these things as we have seen before it is not easy to sign players in the prem and other clubs with lesser scouting networks *cough villa cough* jump on the bandwagon!!
thybluefox Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Panic? No. Mild concern, maybe, but we will sign someone - we just have to hope that someone is decent.
eye666 Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Thought for a second we were in for Pjanic and got all excited.
goose2010 Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Not yet no, we are in a better position than we were last season player wise. And we got 3 top results with a midfield that we still have now. We will strengthen before the start of the season and I am actually quite optimistic we will be fine and people need to stop worrying its quite sad that people worry this much about something that you have absolutely no control on what so ever. Turn up on the 8th and support which ever team CR goes with.
justfoxes Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 When will we start to panic about getting a couple of MF's in? It's two weeks and two days away to KO against Sunderland? We're not really hearing anything concrete and regurgitating the same old names and rumours. It would be criminal to go into the Sunderland game with King & Drinkwater and only Hammond to cover. Must get my eyes tested thought that said starting to panic about getting a couple of MILFS in !!
lgfualol Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 Cattermole will single handedly manage our central midfield options at the moment.
johnny the fox Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 lets just hoof it up to the forwards..fook the midfield...
Callabinho Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 What's alarming is that it seems a few players simply don't want to join us. Now how did Southampton manage to pull players of a high caliber in?
Great Boos Up Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 I'm not in a panic, but I'm not happy. It's back to square one for the PL next season; and that was stressful last season. No real signings on the horizon that I can see.....so dog fight it is then ! Wait to see what CR can pull in for Jan transfers. 42 points here we come?
Bamba's Babes Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 After watching the midfield's performance today and the lack of a signing so far considering the start of the season is now less than two weeks away? Panic might be in order.
