It's been perfectly summed up in the OP. Are we expecting a new player that signs up in 2 weeks time to bed in instantly with, let's be honest, a disjointed side?

Next to no team will complete there business straight out. With the euros as well it has a knock on effect as players are on longer breaks away before returning to their club sides. Teams need to review their squads before knowledge may come out about who is available. We have players on our preseason for example that will be sold in coming weeks. In an ideal world you would have your business done straight away but there are to many variables involved for that to be the case. If we start the season with no-one in then fair enough concerns should be aired based on our previous windows, but not when we've only really started preseason

2 years is taking the piss man. The ‘these things take time’ and ‘in an ideal world’ narratives don’t stand up to scrutiny when we’ve gone this long without signing adequate strikers

We all know that but this window hasn't got going really for anyone..if we have to wait a couple of more weeks then so be it..I realise I'll be in the minority but if it takes until the last day of the window to get quality then so be it.

I fear we'll all have our heads in our hands soon enough.

Let's just wait and see. 3 weeks before the season starts and with the transfer market still pretty stagnant isn't the time to start panicking

Well we signed 4 last summer, which is shocking in itself as none are good enough. I can wait a tad longer for a quality one.

I agree, and I'm not sure what we were expecting when we signed those 4 household named proven goal scorers
 
I don’t want to Piss on any chips but I feel like we’re gonna struggle unless a couple more decent (I mean first team) players are signed. Striker, centre back, left back needed .. and amad

At this stage I absolutely agree with you but the OP’s point was to ask the question of how the hell has it come to this rather than suggest we panic buy

I don't think we'd struggle as I think with a competent head coach we wouldn't have been as bad last season. I don't think we'd be play off hopefuls either though
