Just hope we strengthen.

I think this has been a bad summer for us so far, though accept I seem to be in the minority on NSC.

Agreed but that wasn't your original point. Fair enought its tedious pedantry, (debut vs start) so forgive me for being dull.
But you said their "debuts" were "delayed" due to "international duty". They weren't and clearly signing them late in the window - the concern of some on this thread about new signings being too late - didn't actually prevent them from being part of the 18 straight away and Hughton picking them.
Also If you want a good example of a signing being signed late in the window and going into the team successfully within days. - ask Davy Propper.

Didn’t Propper join about 2 days before the start of the season, then look totally and utterly lost in his first game though ? Don’t recall his first game (City at home ?) being anything like successful..........

Not sure anyone had a good game v Leicester. And it was patchy for most v Watford. And City was backs against the wall. Hard to pick out Propper.

It wasn’t hard to pick him out against City - he was truly awful. Couldn’t find a teammate with a 5 yard pass. I remember Warren Aspijallranting after the Leicester game that Propper and Ryan clearly weren’t good enough and should be nowhere near the first team - how things changed very quickly...

Looks like McBurnie is getting closer to a Blades transfer:

And if Maupay goes to Villa, we’ll be almost out of Championship striker targets!

Oh FFS give it a rest. If we don't bring anybody in for the next week, it doesn't mean we're nailed on for relegation. Even if we don't bring in anyone at all, yes, it increases the chances of going down, but it doesn't make it certain. Nothing makes relegation certain except being X points behind the team in 17th. with only Y points available to win. That won't happen until March at the earliest, and unless or until it does, it's not a certainty. Neither you nor I nor anybody else knows how results will go this season.

"Tardy recruitment failings". Honestly watching people like you and your ilk pissing your pants over this really is very amusing indeed.

Both Burnley and Southampton had 3 wins in 21 at the start of last season.

People hoping and/or expecting a number of major signings will be disappointed, it’s simply not going to happen. We may see one and a squad addition but no more. Tony Bloom spent the best part of £50m on four signings that have barely played and he expects to see that investment realised and isn’t going to spend the same again.

Fair enough, it is pedantry, but I should have put ‘full’.

Tilley also made his first team debut at Boro for a minute..... but it’s in the records

Of course being in the 18 and being gradually introduced as was the case in the main for Hughton’s late arrivals, isn’t the same as starting, which seems due to the timing of the signing

Thought Propper was actually poor in his first few games City (though it was City), Leicester and Watford....

Just hope we strengthen.

I think this has been a bad summer for us so far, though accept I seem to be in the minority on NSC.

So Owen says nothing is close right now. Staring to get very worried.

Relegation it is then if that's the case. We were bad enough last season with this team. Not to strengthen them would be madness and bottom 3 nailed on

So who is our RB if Montoya is injured? Who is going to score 10+ goals if Muzza cannot deliver yet again? We are not at the Withdean in the lower leagues anymore FFS!
