I too am concerned at our apparent lack of progress, but are we though? All too often we have had clickbait reports all summer, only for our signings to come out of the blue and at the final stages. I'd suggest it's far likelier we have been fed the usual gonads which works because everyone posts it, reads it and discusses it whilst the club have been working in a different direction - All of a sudden something credible by Ornstein breaks and we all go 'Wow, that came out of nowhere' when in reality we had been discussing for some time, just not something the nonsense SM streams were privy too.
You have to look back after each window for the past ten years and think if I wasn't fed the 500 nonsense links on a daily basis would I have been any less knowledgable about what my club is looking to do in the market than if I just found out when the club actually signed players? Let's be honest we all know the answer and yet we've all been duped into wasting hours of our lives looking thirstily for this baseless speculative information day after day (myself included). It's gotten out of control....
