[SeaSeeEffCee]

He’s said 3 and then reconsider to be fair! The 10 could still be on

He did say we would take stock. So not set in stone

He’s on thin ice.

3 more is about right imo. No need to panic

 

[shmmeee]

CB, ST, ST/AM

Then if Gus goes another CB and a couple of CMs and maybe another ST. If he doesn’t a couple of loans.

 

[SBT]

Robins has downgraded his 10 (said when we had signed 5) to another 3 (would mean 6 in since he said 10). I won’t forget these lies, Mark.

The ‘10 signings’ comment was incredibly dumb from Robins in terms of managing expectations

 

[slowpoke]

As it stands we have only replaced those who left, hopefully with better, in my opinion we need 3/4 more minimum.

Has to be x2 attackers/fwds and a LCB.

When Gus goes a replacement for him (marquee signing).

Most likely Dragus and a striker then another CB as you say. He sounded like he wanted these 3 in before he makes his final call on Hamer

Absolutely. The club could so with a comms advisor. King and Robins need a bit of tutition

I’m starting to think it was the existing squad rather than the fans who were the intended audience for that ‘10 signings’ comment

Yeah I can't think why he said that considering he's now pretty much halved it!

I think it’s looking more like a message to Hamer than the fans now tbh

Makes sense. I can't imagine the rest of the 10 would be signed for anything more than making up numbers or bolstering the U21s.

We need 2 forwards, an LCB and if Gus goes then a top quality CM. I have full faith Robins and co will bring in the right player should Hamer leave.

Or maybe he was putting pressure on those responsible to pull their finger out.

Or sending a message to the players that no one is guaranteed a start

MR tends to know what he's doing.

I think he was trying to give some reassurance to players who were wanting for reasons to stay, in light of interest from other clubs and/or other compelling reasons to leave.

You would assume that there would be an other centre half and striker in by Sunday

Add the remaining centre half and striker through the rest of the window

You’re assuming that fans were the intended audience for Robins’ comments. It’s possible that it was directed upstairs

'Can we go back to Burnley and ask them to swap McNally for Hamer + £8 million?'

Not going to lie I still don't get why we're content for McNally to go and strengthen someone else when we had first dibs even on a loan. I will die on that hill

 

[robbiethemole]

Stoke can offer more of his wages than us????

I agree, i'd take him back on loan for sure. Would have thought he can play in the middle and i think Fadz will be phased out this season, thats my hill.

 

[Sick Boy]

Think we wanted him permanently rather than another loan.

 

[robbiethemole]

Think we wanted him permanently rather than another loan.

Burnley don't want to sell him tho

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Rather a loan than not having him at all. He fit in well here and improved.

 

[cooperskyblue]

We won't get him now. For me our interest in McNally ended when we signed Thomas.

 

[San Francisco]

Forget about McNally, not happening. Robins will be looking for a suitable LCB now. Probably Kitching or someone unknown then two strikers, one perm, one loan.

 

[TomRad85]

The leaked pictures confirm it. Welcome Haji Wright! 6 more to go.

Think will be 2. Maybe 3 in the end

Need a ST and CB, would like an AM/CM as well, but if that means losing Gus then no.

which ones?

 

[shmmeee]

which ones?

Creepy stalker shots in the Hadji thread

 

[Saddlebrains]

1 more Striker and Centre half and i think were ready to go lads

If we can siphon off Moore somewhere, and bin Cashman off then an added bonus

 

[Alkhen]

Probably a loan fee that put us off, no point sinking money into fees when we get no resale benefits

 

[junglej13]

Sounds to me like another two are close and could be done by the weekend after Wright. After that we still have weeks left in the window. Will still end up being 8-10 incomings as per Robins comments I reckon.
