Two more in before the first game and then another three before the window closes.

Yeah, I'd certainly expect 3, maybe 4 (including a couple of loans)

There's no way we will be bringing 5 more in😂😂 Why not? If we play a back three, we need another centre half as cover. The manager has spoken about cover at right back. We need a genuine replacement at DM for Mikel, the manager has spoken about another forward option and we really need right winger cover too. There is your realistic five straight off the bat, which will intensify when the likes of Gregory, Vokes and McClean inevitably leave. The available matchday squad is actually quite thin now.

I think it's quite reasonable to expect a handful in given the amount of outgoings. Yes we needed rid of dead wood, yes we needed some off our books, yes we needed to free up some wages. But we still need squad depth and although we are bringing through some youngsters, a few League 1 prospects on a few grand a week won't break our bank balance. Our wage bill must be half of what it was this time last year!

2 purchases and 2 loans I would guess. Can see Matondo returning, possibly as a loan with an option. Who the midfielder & striker and full back will be, heaven only knows..

Who the midfielder & striker and full back will be, heaven only knows.. cheap perm signings presumably e.g Charles & the Scottish midfielder whose name I've forgotten loans on top loans can be expensive so personally not that sort more like cheapo ones like we did with Matondo bottom line is goalscorer - get one in & it comes off (e.g we sign Charles & he steps up & scores 15+) then we can be very positive indeed imho don't get one in , or doesn't come off ( e.g. we sign Charles & he flops) then mid table (unless Tyrese surprises us by coming back firing)

Desperate for a right back for me Does MON think young Coates is now ready to step up and compete with Smith for a place at right back? If so, then I don’t think he will bother getting another right back in. Same goes with Jones as competition with Fox at left back.

He singled out Jones and Porter as promising in his interview the other day - but made a point of saying he didn't think they were ready to play

Didn't get the impression from his interviews that he thinks any of the U23's are ready?. Norton seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth☹️

Smith has his faults but he’s the devil we know, he’s looked better with the 3 at the back and I’d be happy with Coates/Sorensen as secondary options and cup gamers in that role. Then put the Focus on getting a natural LWB, happy with Fox as backup for that role amd he’s backup as a CB. Haven’t seen Doughty but by all accounts but he sounds set for Att not Def. If we can get 2 perm in out of the 3 I think we desperately need being a LWB, DM, FW then I’d be happy looking at us getting 2-3 loans in at the end of window to fill the gaps and add cover.

Isn't Tymon our back-up LWB? + Doughty out & out LB's Fox & if O'Neill thinks he's ready Eddie Jones (who is also good at LWB)

I think Doughty can play a LWB role too when required, and if so we could stick Clucas in as an attacking midfielder. Ideally I'd prefer another RB in place of Tommy, but he isn't a terrible option and we have Coates and Sorensen as backup. I think we need to focus our efforts primarily on a solid CDM. If we only have enough money to buy one player, then I would definitely prefer a CDM. Bringing in Charles would be great business though.

One goal this season and hasn't played since September. It sounds like the Accrington manager dropped him over a contract dispute.
