We were always in a dog fight day one in my opinion mate - im not expecting anything beyond that.
I'm not wholly surprised to be honest. Im under no illusions and very self aware. People will talk about incompetence but the truth is we have a limited a budget of about 25 mill, so need to structure deals that narrows the field and delays things and secondly we just arent attractive - the club has been portrayed in the media as a basket case and no player is picking a relegation battle if they have a choice an uncomfortable truth but a truth none the less. Our reputation has taken a hiding.
In that tension its whether you blink or not, do you do a Maupay and get that ilk before Fulham or do you wait and wait for the field to be narrowed in playing options for players later in the window. For me its the latter. If something happens before well and good.
I think we will bring in three, because we have the budget, but also because we have to and i think we are trying to be honest.
We've a month of this left.
