Robins “Losing Viktor is a blow, there’s no doubt about that, but getting someone like Ellis in the building is a real coup because he has some real ability and qualities that we can work with. He’s 22 years of age and there’s loads there. He’s been out and experienced the Championship and scored some goals there - I think he scored seven in 14 at Sunderland and scored at Chelsea for Everton, so to get him is a real coup and a statement for us.
“I think the recruitment so far has been good but we’re still looking for another ten, so things will start to drop. People should be excited. The players are on the list and moving closer but it’s just difficult to get things over the line. There’s a load of work going on and Dean Austin is working his socks off.
“Doug (King) is involved in this as well and all working around the clock to make things happen and if we can get the ones over the line that I have given the thumbs up to then it makes for an exciting squad.”
