    Personally think 8 is a bit on the short side unless they are all expected to be starters.

    We can guess but it was 8 on top of the 4/5 offers already out so I guess if those don't sign then we'll need to substitute with other signings.

    Agree, the whole squad needs gutting after the last few years of failure apart from a handful of young pups that you would hope that can develop and kick on.

    There may also be outgoings that create extra gaps to fill. Still wouldn't be surprised to see a few more leave if offers come in from elsewhere

    On second thoughts, is that beside those?

    GK - ROD + Hornby
    RB - FCD + ??????
    LB - Foulds + ?????
    CB - Canavan + POC + Staunton + Sikora + ?????
    CM - Sutton + Watt + Cooke + Scales + ?????
    WG - Vernan + Crankshaw + Evans + ?????
    ST - Cook + ????? + ?????

    Thats what I think. Assuming the 4 offered deals all sign. That leaves 7 more to come in and a squad of 23. Probably boosted by 1 or 2 youth.

    Lets hope it is real quality if the quantity isnt suffice. Id rather go down that route to be honest....

    Id like another CM, so two in making it 9 signings in total.

    January will see an extra 1 or 2 come in hopefully. If we start in August with 23 that will see us through to January I think.

    The additional 7 that we bring in will need to be of excellent quality IE first team starters for that to be enough, otherwise we will be light on numbers and quality for a sustained promotion push.

    8 plus the still under contract and those offered deals snap them up takes us to 23 a small unit but they all our players. Then there is space to dip into loan market when premier league name there squads so sounds like a good plan

    Absolutely. Im ok with been short by 1 or 2 if we bring in real quality amongst the other 7. We can add a couple in January if need be.

    I’d rather we considered Finn as a centre back and brought in 2 recognised right backs. As well as he did as a stand in, he was caught out a few times and offered little going forward. We need our right sided midfielders concentrating on the attacking side of the game, rather than having to worry about FCD.

    For me we need 8 more as of now after Andy Cook has signed (and if all of the offered extensions sign on.

    We need a RB, LB, CB, CM x2, WG, ST x2.

    Probably a few loanees too of were being honest as fillers.

    No Kevin, it is 8 new signings + the players offered a contract - if they choose not to sign we can expect additions to the new signings
