As it stands we have 17 players listed as first team players. Take Kelly out as he is out of contract and not yet agreed a new one, you are left with 16.

5/6 quality additions would be brilliant IMO, I wouldn't go further than 8 though.

16 players were released between first team and U23's, need to use these wages wisely in bringing in quality players for the first team. U23 can be balanced with players from U18s.

But some of those 17 aren't players that MR would want playing that often. When I say 25 players it includes these bit part players.

So at the moment we just about have enough 'first team' players to make up a matchday squad if Kelly signs.

I'm not expecting us to bring in all those players permanently but I expected we may sign maybe half a dozen permanently and another 4-5 on loan.

I'm guessing training ground is a small factor in a players decision to join a club or not, I think location of the city would have a far bigger influence, someone like Sunderland or Swansea may have better training facilities but most away games would involve an over night stay the day before and getting home late on a Saturday, a city like ours can reach most other teams within 2 hours, players could be at home with their feet up with their family by 7.

Sort of wide player isn’t he? Not a Vik replacement. Wonder if that means a change of system.

He can play in the 10 role as well but did play more on the right at Plymouth

Not if bigger clubs come in for him. It’s one thing not wanting to be recalled from a loan and another to actively choosing them over a field of clubs on a permanent basis.

Yes by investing the money they got from winning the league. We would be investing money from a player sale. What is the difference?

Their amazing training ground hasn’t help keep them up but if they had spent a bit more on the field that may have done.

3 goals in 45 appearances last season. No thank you. Might as well have kept Walker or Waghorn!

Robins is a striker with a track record who didn't start a game at all last season, why are we looking outside of the club?

They've spent a fortune and got a massive wage bill. They've hardly skimped on the playing side.

You can always spend a bit more, they were desperate for a keeper all year but the pit was empty.

Looks like Tom Cairney from Fulham available now if Hamer does go he’d be a brilliant replacement.
