Names mentioned or linked to us are Panzo, Cuffy, Creswell, McNally, Buchanon, Humphreys, Kitching, Emeran & Willock.. Couple of these names i think are out of reach and a in my opinion a couple would not come. But some on that list id love in the squad, McNally, Creswell, Emeran and Willock would definitely turn a few heads.

One thing for sure not all those we are after have ever been mentioned before. I can see Robins asking the recruitment dept to look at Asian players especially those based in Europe as well as European players. As i think 1 or 2 will be being brought in from abroad.

Fuckme it’s been hard to love this club over the years but we never stop, no matter how fuckingnuts it gets… and it’s been beyond fuckingcrazy the last godknows how many years. We’ve been fed scraps for so long but now there’s a real sense of purpose and intent. The future is suddenly cause for optimism and excitement… and thankgod Robins and his team finally have the backing they more than deserve.

Can’t help but feel good things are coming our way, either this season or next.

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

One thing we do know from the players who have come in that the process started quite a while ago, months ago in some case but at least before Wembley.

Don't think we'll get 10 but the fact that it is the aim and that we have the budget for it if things were to fall in place is very promising.

Here we go.... Loads of made up rumours about the possible 10 we will sign. Fans going bog eyed over Football Manager stats.

Networking, phoning their best mates best mates cousin who knows a girl who shagged a player two seasons ago but that player has since left the club, but she has heard.......

Certainly exciting times.

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

That would be nowhere near enough

Agree, to be candid, we were quite lucky last season that Hamer and Gyokeres could carry us the way they did and stay healthy.

Overall, our team does need a lot of strengthening to add depth and replace potentially both of our stars.

Wonder how many of the 10 Robins wants are completely out of the left field like Sakamoto was

My favourite player in ages and never got to see him play in person.

Would be a hell of a step back down though.

He's hardly made any appearances for them. There are a fair few Serie A clubs interested in him, apparently.

Not bothered about Ostigard, thought he was rash and poor on the ball. Has barely played since leaving here.

I think his blood and thunder style of play and platitudes he would deliver in the media served to make him a fans favorite.

I think Ostigard would be the perfect long-term Fadz replacement. Only defender City have had in the past few years who has replicated Fadz style, not afraid to put his head in, goes for every ball etc.

Yes his passings not great but that’s what the other two centre backs are for.

At least Osti attacked the ball in the opposition box, our CBs last season might as well have saved their breath and stayed home every time we got a corner.
