Depends how you want to take it. The article also says 'remains confident that he should have most of his targets in place by the middle of July' and 'we are in a decent position, in fairness, in terms of what we have done and over the next few days things will start to come to fruition'.

Some of what he's talking about with this summers window applies to all clubs so no reason for us to take it as a negative that applies only to us.

6 definitely falls into the "not too many more than 5 " category

As I said, 6 would be a bare minimum. I personally wouldn't be particularly happy with 5/6 but we can only do what's within our means.

In fairness, only 3 of our permanent signings made a positive contribution last year and one had already been here the year previous. With the loans, only Mccallum and Ostigard were regular starters with James then being one in January. Get the right 5 players and it’ll be sound

Also depends what type of signings are coming in. 3-4 genuine first teams and a couple of strong backups is better than 1 decent player and a 7 Kasta type signings.

The way the Telegraph have reported it makes it seem quite negative and often with MR, his written quotes seem more down beat than when you hear him actually say things.

The focus will be on comments such as 'it's been frustrating etc but he does also say we are in a 'decent position for things to come to fruition in next few days' so it's about how you want to interpret it.

Robins said our January business was done and we signed someone hours later. He says he might only get 5. That could be just Perm and we may well get more than that.

We've got to wait and see.

He's obviously renowned for making sure he doesn't give much away. So, I'm not overly concerned just yet. But, having said that if we did only sign the number of players stated, I would be frustrated if weren't able to fill all the positions required. But that's hardly Robins fault, there's little he can do about it if that ends up being the case.

True. I guess we'll have to see what happens. In all fairness to Robins I suppose in the current climate and with the unpredictability of the window, it's very difficult to put figures on it. We'll bring in what we bring in - best case scenario probably 8, but somewhere in the region of 5 being realistic.

It would be a bit worrying if Sheaf and Dinanga were part of the five, although I think Sheaf will be decent this coming season

Won't Dinanga be coming in for the development team/U23 ?

Cba to panic. I really don’t see the sense in worrying about it yet. Especially with it being open for 64 days still.

FFS! We’ve lost out on another key target. Get your shit together Robinnnns. Joy find your handbag. Fans buy the 2020 club calendar for 50p from the CCFC store to help fund the players wages. Hands, face, space.

Robins needs to pull his finger out, by this point I'd sold Jobello and Kasteneer for a combined 2.5 mil and was deep in negotiations to bring back Adam Armstrong..

Seriously tho I swear some of the more panicked types on here base their expectations on what they did on FM and FIFA

You think there is a chance Walton might be one of the keepers we are might sign @better days ? Or did we get priced out?

Where did the original Baker link even come from? Was it the telegraph?
