Said it a week or so ago and will say it again. Just because we are about to re-sign Matt Doherty, it doesn't mean the rest of the window will be shit. I'm sure the club have their reasons (free transfer, home grown quota, likely he accepts he's going to be back up, will likely cause no issues and settle in to the dressing room quickly etc etc etc). Yes, I know we have to ignore the footballing side of it to justify the signing, but the hope is Lop has some plan in place. As & when Doc is announced, he'll get my full support and I'll want him to succeed. I assume most of us are in the same boat.
With all that said above, I *am* slightly miffed that we haven't got a couple of first team ready signings over the line yet. I know most clubs/managers want to get their transfers done early in the market, and I know it isn't always realistic, but I feel like we were perhaps in a strong position to get some deals done given how early we have sold the likes of Neves & Coady - but still nothing.
The rumours of walking away from Scott because we don't want to pay £10m up front, turning £30 odd million down for Kilman, then signing Doc and a lower league journyman goalkeeper etc doesn't particularly help the mood. I'm happy to trust the club for now because they still have time on their side, but the longer we go without adding a forward or some proper first team additions, the more vocal the fanbase are going to become with their criticism - and they're already pretty vocal.
