DFP article today saying one of the trialists has done enough to earn a contract offer. Also that we're close on a forward loan. Seems talk of the DM target is thin on the ground, though.
The budget definitely feels a mid table one this year as opposed to a top 6 one.

I believe RW would like Williams to find another club which will allow him to bring in some squad players and the loans he wants. We are close to a loan forward but the GK is at a standstill. The DMid seems out of the reach of our budget at the moment. Whether RW can sign any of the Trialist we will wait and see. But squad is still thin and we will need players to cover for injuries ans suspensions.
Really hope we can sort something out with Barlow

Explain? I think it’s pretty self explanatory. I think that is right. When you look at who we have signed and the teeth sucking Wellens performs in every interview, we are running to a tight budget this season. Given how the other contenders are stacking up, Wellens has correctly set the bar for this season as consolidation and next season - when budget hopefully comes back up - we will be more competitive. That’s fine with me and I suspect plenty others, let him build something worth watching and we can finally get back into the ground. We are being properly outgunned in terms of how some others are spending though.
Yeah Richie stated in DFP that he needed cajoling for first 20minutes, bit sneaky or mercenary touching Gardners shot over line too. For the right deal and a manager who believes in him we could have one for the future
Way i see it we've signed 5 decent quality players this season on longer contracts so they'll be with us a while. Get new contracts sorted for those that perform well, earlier this time. Then next summer have a similar transfer window signing another 4-5 decent players and we've in theory built a side that is all Wellens players and with luck ,and a few loanees, can be in the playoffs. That's how i see consolidation. Personally don't think we're that far off now. We should be better than last season if you compare like for like and we've not got the 4 loanees yet.
