Let us see. We are seriously in need of a right back, a left back, two center backs, a holding midfielder, two wingers and a centre forward. We have plenty of cover at goalkeeper.

And we sign.....


A GOALKEEPER!!!


Oh dear!!!

(Can only think that one of the existing ones is off)
 
Hopefully KR means 6 new signings after the Jones/Findlay/McGinty deals. How I see it - 2 full backs, 2 wingers, midfielder & striker.

Stevens
RB Moore Findlay LB
CM Brannagan
RW Bodin Browne
Taylor

McGinty
Long Mousinho Brown Seddon
Gorrin McGuane
Jones Henry LW
ST

Forde, Baldock, Smyth​

Whilst I agree with the sentiment the fact neither of our keepers seem up to standard is something I agree with KR on.

Someone on here suggested keeping Easty over Stevens though, which is something I don't support. Jack does have a lot of potential and he has done well for us, let's not forget he turned out season around when he came in for Easty that season.

I lot of people said Easfy and Jack aren't good enough I think it's a really good signing

There’s always plenty of players on our radar, but obviously not all of them we make proper moves for.
Players like Luongo and the Rotherham centre back we move on from straight away.
Luongo wage demands are way beyond what we would pay. The Rotherham defender was being spoke to by Sheffield Wednesday straight away and had no interest in joining us or moving down South.
This window was the furthest we have been to signing Cadden in past 2 years!!
Robbo didn’t know what was going to be his preferred formation for a while!! So it was pointless signing Cadden if we were playing 4 at the back and our LB options were Seddon and Cadden! But we did talk to the lad and made an offer.
We wanted Greg Leigh, but we can’t match what Ipswich offer players!
We were/are interested in taking Whyte on a permanent deal. He’s available. But would need to take a 40% wage cut. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a deal that happens towards the end of August.
We offered Holland a deal. More money than he’s getting at MK, but he wasn’t entirely happy with the amount of games he didn’t play last season. He feels he’ll get more game time at MK. That’s fair enough.

Loan players is hard to know if close to getting. They all start training with their clubs and all go on the tours. We have spoke to Palace about the LB and Winger. Sounds like Coventry want the LB. If he’s going to get games at a level above, they’re obviously going to send him there.
We did speak to Liverpool about Morton before their tour. His performances may mean they want him around longer or a Championship club comes in.

We enquired about Findlay at the start of the summer. We was quoted more than we were prepared to pay. Once McNally was going we went back and Findlay said he wanted to leave. I believe it’s around 200k. We were quoted about double that couple months ago! He’s in the UK today. Everything’s agreed, bar putting ink on the contract.
I think we could have 4 in this week. I didn’t know about the keeper tbh. But sounds like he’s done.
Jones is all agreed and we’re close to another winger from Europe.

Perhaps he should have decided that months ago?

Interesting, I thought it weird that Robinson suddenly changed his mind on formation (three at the back) when McNally was sold. The indecisiveness came through the interview he did. The Holland issue was like you said fair enough. He wasn't happy with the game time last year but in my view the lack of game time was justified, so right decision for all I feel.

Are you able to tell us whether he's British but from a team in Europe, or he is actually European?

I'm assuming you do mean European but just wanted to clarify.

He might be one of these that could play for multiple country's abit like that man u player januzaj
 
Re: Gavin Whyte Signing and having to take such a huge pay cut.

Could the club pay him a signing on fee to counter-balance the deficit in wages? That way we get the player, and we don't break the wage structure at the club.

Surely if we sign McGinty we wouldn't register one of Stevens or Eastwood as well? That would be a complete waste of a squad place, if we're tight then Mous shouldn't be in either. Not seen anything of Davis but he's been playing in pre season, is he a genuine option who is ready for League 1 football week in week out? If not then ship him out on loan and that leaves 6 squad places up for grabs. I also see that this list and the Twitter post both have Forde down as a defender, are we all accepting this is his role now? I quite like him but wouldn't class his as anything more than a stop gap as right back, if we have to play him there every week he'll get targeted constantly.

Entirely possible we won't register one (or more likely one is leaving) I was looking at what we had in the club and where that leaves us. I would not be surprised if Stevens is picked up by a club higher up to be a development project/no.2 keeper (despite his poor season he's still highly thought of), and equally wouldn't be surprised if we've said in no uncertain terms to Easty that Stevens is No.1 and he's asked to leave for first team football, which he's more than capable of at a lower/mid table L1 level.

With regards to Mous and Davis - I'm not unhappy with us having Mous as a final CB option providing we sign another full back. I see the pecking order as Moore/Findlay first choice, then Brown, then Long, then Golding and then Mous. What I don't want is another season of Long getting pulled around everywhere and ending up with wingers in full back, so a proper full back cover on both sides needed. Davis has seemed good in pre season, if he's seen as good enough it saves us a fee on a player, if not, loan him out or don't register and just use in cup games.

With Forde I think he's a versatile player who is good in a lot of positions, but not exceptional in any of them. I think RB cover is his place in the squad now, but he is capable of playing in the midfield and the wing too if required. I personally would sign a new RB, but I suspect that KR and the club see Long and Forde as capable and won't. While I don't disagree that they are capable, if Long is more like the Long of last season and not the Player of the Season Long from 2 seasons ago, or if he continues to have injury troubles, I don't see that as good enough for a promotion chasing club.

With the GBE requirements the player will have to hold an English passport. If not, will have to meet the 15 point requirement to qualify for a transfer - this is based on quality of the league, minutes played within the league, international appearances etc.

For example, from one club, Fortuna Sittard - George Cox would qualify as he has an English passport. Tijjani Noslin would gain 10 points for the strength of the Eredivise but would fall short of the 15 required as he only played 27% of available domestic miutes.

The above is obviously not an issue for top clubs and the players they are after, however it is responsible for a drop in Ligue 2 players joining the EFL, for example.

To add: those with English, Scottish, Irish passports that played as wingers in Holland last season:
