I feel we are looking at the European leagues to find a few youngsters with potential to bring in alongside a few signings that will be starters

I wonder if we're looking at moving anyone else on other than Simon Moore.

I'd be really surprised. The ones mentioned Allen and Bidwell you would be more than happy to have as squad players. Depends if there would be a fee related.

If you look at the side tonight you can see why we'd need 10 in. Bench had 3 first team players on it, and that's including the sub keeper and Burroughs.

Certainly exciting times.

Even if just retaining Hamer and adding McNally/BNC/Kitching makes us really strong for next year. Never mind another seven!!

Could he mean players for the U-21s ? Signing 15 players in one window would be unbelievable

Trying to figure out what positions we’d be looking at for 10 more signings.

3 x CBs
2 x STs
1 x RWB
1 x CAM
1 x CM

Not really sure where the other two fit in? Perhaps an inadvertent slip from Robins that we’re perhaps expecting some more outgoings.

Definitely feel like he would love to loan out howley tavares and Burroughs so this would give him the squad options as well as first choices

If Robins the king of downplaying things is using the word "exciting" then maybe we should all be aswell.

He had wanted an actual quality squad for some time and maybe, just maybe, there is a plan.
Think there's plenty to be optimistic about.

Im not sure i have heard him be so open. I may be reading into these wrongly but he must be jappy with the situation at the club and must be confident in getting the vast majority of these 10 in. I think he is genuinely excited and sees a lot of scope with the group if he gets them in. Promising and may be something a lot were not expecting, me for one.

I was just thinking that. Never been so open and saying 10 players. Also, players that are first on his list and close. Really is a turn around. Exciting times.

Personally, I think we’re looking at 5 or 6 permanent and 5/6 loans to make 10. The loans will of course be highly regarded Prem talent.

He was bouncing, you could see and hear how confident he was. If he's willing to go on record like that and say we're signing 10 more then he clearly thinks we can and will.

Loved what he was saying about the competition this season as well. You hear other managers talking about how tough the division is and they sound scared. MR talks about the challenge and you can just tell he relishes it, knows we are equal to it. MR's new contract is by far and away our best signing.

Don’t won’t to piss on peoples parade but he said he was looking at another 10. To me that suggests he’s looking at 10 players, knowing he will not get a few not necessarily actually getting 10 new players in

10 would be quite something to get before the Leicester game.

4x CB
2x RWB
2x ST
Then 2 midfielders?

The quote in the telegraph says recruitment so far has been good but we are looking for another ten.

not “at another ten”

For me either way I think he defo implies he wants another 10 signings.

Cant see us getting them all by then, probably by the end of the window.

Also can’t see is signing three RWBs in one window.
