[SeaSeeEffCee]

I’d hope for at least double that

7 players at least

 

[Kingokings204]

Got to be around 8 give or take I would Imagine.

 

[Finham]

8 for me. Probably just wishful thinking!

 

[Robinshio]

Including loans
1 keeper
5 defenders
1 midfielder
3 strikers

 

[ccfc1234]

Depends if your talking permanent or including loans. I would expect 3 or 4 to come in on a permanent basis (more if anyone else leaves) and 2 or 3 loans.

8 ish, plus Hamer

Yup, if its 4, we are truly fucked.

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Need to replace from last years squad (which seemed paper thin at times when we had 2 goalkeepers and Josh Reid on the bench)

Dabo
Rose
McNally
Doyle
Norton-Cuffy
Wilson-Esbrand (will accept that Da Silva fills this one place)
Maguire
Walker
Waghorn

And probably
Hamer
Gyökeres

That’s a deficiency of up to 11 players just to have the numbers from last year (I’m not including Hillsner or Dacosta, or Kelly who I presume will re-sign).

Don’t care if there are a few loans (which are likely to get completed towards the end of august) but we need bodies before the start of the season just to keep afloat.

 

[slowpoke]

Hamer plus another 5/6

 

[shmmeee]

Bare minimum: 3 CB, 1 RWB, 1 ST and Hamer

I’d hope we have a couple more in though.

 

[San Francisco]

We need about 10-12 including loans to not be threadbare like last season.

 

[slowpoke]

We need a complete defence apart from the lad from Bristol, another keeper, at least one more midfielder and a striker maybe two and others to make the squad strength stronger. So I’d say about 10 by the end of August.

 

[Greggs]

Fucking hell, we have a current squad of about 10. We need to sign at least 12 - 15 first team quality players,.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

At least ten

So far we’ve only signed a 5ft 4in player who’s slower than Dabo according to Dabo himself. We need at least 10 more quality players to make up the numbers for the ones we’ve lost. The way things look at at the moment MR and AV may need to play few minutes themselves. Glad they extended their contracts.

 

[Alkhen]

Not panicing yet. I'm sure we'll get some through the door next week.

Being in the playoffs meant we are 2 weeks behind most other teams. Especially as we didn't know what league we'd be in. I'm hoping the Vik money will open the flood gates. Also if Gus signs I have a feeling it would see our pulling power move up a level in terms of targets.

Dasilva is a good start

 

[skyblue025]

Pre season starts a week Monday and we currently have enough players in the squad for a 6 a side game if one of the 3 keepers plays outfield. I'd be hoping for 4 or 5 announced before they come back to at least give us a base to build from.

He might be slower but you would hope he has more end product than Dabo who created pretty much nothing.

Mad ain’t it. And there’s actual talk of 4 signings. Maybe it’s Doug’s latest fundraising attempt - pay for a place In the starting lineup.

 

[Martin180]

Just a question regarding released players

I was always under the impression that contracts ran until the end of June ??

Happy to be proven wrong

They do

Fingers crossed! Hope he's as good as another tiny player (i.e. Terry Gibson)

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

They do

And a lot of players are still on holiday

Dabo might have been thinking of himself pre-crocked of course.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

At least ten

Yeah, need at least 2 players in every position.

 

[DrPoolittle]

I would hope the club signs about 8 players, with 5 or 6 of them ready for first XI action.

But the problem is integrating that many new players. Both Villa and Forest have struggled recently through signing too many players.

Ideally, a team that was within one penalty kick of promotion would keep the squad intact and just add one or two players. But that isn’t the case for CCFC.

Risky times

 

[Sick Boy]

We need to sign a minimum of 2 first team strikers, at the moment we only have Godden.

We have to spread the games and goals better we won’t get another like Vik who stays fit for virtually every game, we need theee centre backs and a right wing back badly.

In fairness, Forest signed about 37 players.

 

[shmmeee]

We need two in almost every position, assuming we’re keeping the same formation we could get away with five CBs, three AMs and three ST so a squad of 21.

Currently we’ve got:

2 GK
1 RWB
2 LWB
1 CB
4 DM
3 AM
2 ST

Assuming we lose Vik that’s 7 minimum, and we might want to replace the likes of Burroughs, Kelly, and Moore with more quality and O’Hare won’t be back for some time so probably need an AM there too.

Godden is injured half the time and Tavares needs to go out on loan - we will need 2 at least.

Think the second part was tongue in cheek, and Dabo said he was a quality player.
