It is rubbish and don't forget our player of the season for the past 2 years has downed tools for the month

It does give the appearance of a lack of ambition this year. Maybe, privately, the club are more than happy to remain in the Championship. I'd like to think we did have more ambition than that.

We don't need players.
Dunk is a good enough back up.
March, Ince, and CMS are like new signings.
You idiots demanding "big names" because other clubs do is nonsense. We have good young players coming through at long last, support this policy, or p1ss off and support chelsea.

You are in a minority of about one. The manager and other players all say we need players, but you know best?

If the players can come out and say we need new signings then we need new signings.

Not long to go and the back page of the Argus today does make pretty dismal reading. I had high hopes before the window opened but I'm expecting minimal movement by Friday now. Bridcutt out certainly but after that 
Maybe we are going to use the loan window to try and strengthen. Either way I expect that we'll be having a full overhaul in the summer regardless of which division we are in.
If we fail to secure players by the time the window closes, I am sure the club will be braced to take a big hit in season ticket sales. We have a lot of fans who demand success and investment.
Not long to go before all is revealed, which will be a relief, whatever the outcome. I have hated this window so far.

Well said. Yet another thread of NSC bedwetting. As someone else said, why should TB pick up the losses or send the club further into debt? Im more than happy to see the kids coming through and a more prudent transfer policy than other teams in the division.

We can't seem to sign any c**t.

Hang on everyone. As long as we have a replacement for Crofts, possibly a winger and a central defender in place by Friday evening we'll be fine.
Still 36 hours to go

We do need new players, as the likes of Bruno and others well recognise. Let's not delude ourselves into thinking otherwise. If we haven't signed some decent quality players by Friday, the fact is that the club will have royally f*****d up.........some might say, again.

Bit strong, if we can't get players within the restraints imposed so be it. Disappointing yes but a **** up? No, a **** up would be putting the club at risk spending money they haven't got. Are you really asking TB to keep funding us after all he has already put in?
I'll still be there next season regardless, I fear many others won't be if we start to slip into mid table mediocrity. It was never going to be a smooth and trouble free ride to the Premier League, even though it looked it for a couple of years.
I could have lived with the situation if we hadn't sold the players we have without securing replacements.
This!

We may yet replace Barnes and I am happy for Dunk to replace El Abd.

Anybody would think we had sold half the first team squad and not replaced them reading some of the rubbish posted on here.
Well said.
The squad we have is doing pretty well.
And things can only get better as players come back to physical and match fitness.
Plus, the loan window may be our busier period when it opens.
We do need players, only the right ones. CMS will be a welcome addition, but the squad is depleted.
I am totally against buying second rate players in, just to have 'more bodies', they should be better than we've already got. I really don't think the players that have come in post Poyet, were better than what we had (though I would exclude Ward from criticism, as he has done a good job, though not as good as Bridge). Agustein and Andrews are not good enough and are not always selelcted. Although Lopez should have been ok, based on last year, in the main he has been mediocre at best.
We need quality not quantity.
The transfer 'startegy' seems to be in panic mode, based on the players we are allegedly after, e.g. Stephens, Grabban, neither of whom are better than what have/had.
