Sam can either sign up a few players now and keep some on RP off his back, or, he can wait and recruit properly and get decent quality. I know which one I prefer!

It wont be long until we know if we need a major change with regards to finance. Im quietly confident Sam will surprise us.

A lack of urgency or negotiating for the correct deals with various people and not putting statements out saying we're going to be signing someone in the next few days?
No press releases doesn't mean nothing is going on.

Problem is we have been told the same bull by nearly every previous manager . I get the strong impression that Sam was really surprised he got the Wrexham manager job and is now struggling to decide what to do. I hope I am wrong as another failed season will break this club.
I understand the need to recruit correctly and I also note what other clubs are doing / not doing regarding recruiting new players but we got rid of 8 players and Sam talks of recruiting just 4 more plus a couple of loan players .
This has disaster written all over it !!

Frankly I'd prefer the silence until things are signed and sealed.
The updates from Keates last season about trying to get someone in, then it not happening was frustrating.

I am thinking we are doing a different approach than in previous seasons. For years we have had managers saying a deal is on only to be gazumped.

Maybe the board and Sam have taken the decision to keep silent on anything until the player has given that firm commitment or is at the ground to sign!

At the moment I am prepared to go with this...

Ask me again in three weeks though if nothing has happened!

In one way I can see the benefit of going with a core squad of just 18 players. It is enough to fill the match day squad without having to effectively pay lots of players to sit on their asses doing nothing and having no involvement.

Any money saved on these 'extra' wages can then be utilised elsewhere (either pre season in getting higher quality players in, or during the season on loans or if players become available) and I'm sure if push came to shove we would be able to loan sufficient to cover any injuries or suspensions if needed.

I believe the small squad is down to costs (obvious statement really) rather than a personal choice. As I said above, why pay players to not be involved, or to involve them would require to join a reserve league that will likely add further costs.

I have no issue with going into the season with a squad of 18 as long as any players recruited now are of the high quality needed.
