DC must think we can sign better..
He's worked with Jamie Fullerton before, now the Technical Director at Walsall.

I’ve worked with Jamie before during my time at Bolton and I felt like I was at my best form under him. He got me going and he knew how to get the best out of me"

So not the fact DC thinks he can sign better.

I think the keeper is already signed, along with another 4/5 outfield players.

I genuinely think the club are hoping/expecting that the new kits turn up next week. I think we've been holding fire on some of the announcements so that they can do a big kit launch.

There was a post on Twitter steering towards the kits arriving some time next week, so we shall see!

do we still have a media dept????????????????????????🙄

I don't think it's in the media team or the club's interest to rush out news of the signings.

It's not there to get "breaking news" out as quick as possible, it's there to stage manage the signings to the best advantage of the club.

I actually think it's been really well managed by them.

For instance, with the five now announced... Why announce all five of them in one go when they can be staggered over several days to build up interest?

So what does it matter if we've actually got other signings already agreed that we haven't announced yet?

That delay not only heightens expectation as fans wait to see who's going to be announced but it also allows the club time to create a photoshop image of each player (all in the same style) and to gather quotes from Clarke etc on the signing to put in the press release.

Then each announcement has been sent to the local media with an embargo on it so they are pre-warned and then teased an hour or so before on social media to build up the expectation of the fans on the day itself.

I think that's a decent, well-organised job, personally.

Not working for me. I have lost interest in the process altogether really. 

Really? Lost interest? But you're on this transfers thread? 😉

I'd say exactly the opposite for me. I would reckon if you polled Vale fans, a comprehensive majority would say the past few days have been exciting waiting to hear who is going to be announced next.

You can never please everyone (I certainly know that through OVF) but I think it's been expertly managed.

But then again this isn't even about the "process", that's a minor thing, it's much more about the quality of players we bring in and whether they can improve the team.
