Squad coming together nicely..... whats missing

Four excellent signings so far and all at good ages.
3 hungry players under 24 with a real leader at the back at 33.

If what Holloway said is correct and rumour of his name is true, then  it looks like Touray Sisay is set to sign soon and that could well end our search for attacking players.

But whats left to come. An experienced rock in midfield?, a quality left back?

What do we feel is still needed and how many more signings are we short?

Think we need to replace Glennon if we don't him back on loan, plus maybe a decent, experienced holding midfielder. That would just about do me for now, but on a side note, anyone figured out where Greens gonna fit in this season??

I hear he is looking for a sponsor for his seat in the dugout.

In Ollie's last interview he said 4 deals had been signed......and we have now got 4 new players.

But no sign of Sisay

Feels like a main man for the centre of midfield is the biggest requirement for me.

Experience in centre mid plus Glennon and Benson and we’re nearly there. That said Ollie reckoned he had room for ten and I can’t think that some of the new lads will be on big bucks.

Seems like we are looking to setup with a 4-3-3 or a 4-1-2-3 formation as see us with Gibson and Jackson Jnr as wide forwards so maybe a tough holding midfielder with 2 others in there with Williams/Tilley and another new face? Perhaps Clifton and Wright having an impact from the bench.
Left back is a must though still and would love it to be Glennon back.
Shaping up to be an exciting season

We’re going to need more than 2 more players. We need a LB, a couple of CM’s, a ‘utility’ type and probably another wide option.

I’d imagine we’ll get 3 loanees in at least to cut costs as well as maybe a couple more perms.

It’s great that we’ve brought in some unproven types but you cannot build an entire squad round that.

2 rumours that did the rounds were a young lad from Man Utd and Charlie Adam.

Haven’t heard anything else about it so am guessing they were only ‘rumours’

We definitely need at least 1 LB, Glennon would be ideal but it probably won't happen.

I would like to see a tough tackling box to box midfielder who has been around a bit, another big lad up front because Green wins nothing in the air and Hanson won't play every game. We need a couple of utility players and probably another CB if we are playing 3 at the back.

That would still leave our midfield a bit light though. Holloway has put a call into Burnley so I expect us to get at least a player from them, but probably not the 2 we had.

I am going to attempt to put together a list of what we have in order to work out what we might need. Football has taken a bit of a backseat the last few months so I’m not certain who is still with us and who isn’t but anyway, here goes.
Also, obviously some players positions are subjective so let’s just go with it. Players aren’t in any order of ability either.

Goalkeepers
Mckeown
Battersby
Russell

Defenders
Full backs
Hendrie

Central
Mohsni
Waterfall
Ohman
Pollock

Midfielders
Hewitt
Clifton
Williams

Attackers
Wide
Wright
Tilley

Central
Hanson
Green
Gibson
Jackson Jr

I think that’s everyone. I’ve not included the likes of Curran or Starbuck as I still don’t expect them to do much for us in the coming season but I may be wrong.
So looking at that I’d say we’re sorted in goal, central defence and centre forwards. I’m not sure whether Jackson Jr or Gibson are forwards that might be utilised wide in a 3 like Green in the past.
I’m guessing Williams was signed as a starter, Ollie seems to like Hewitt in there and then we’ll need at least 1 but hopefully 2 more in central midfield if we’re going with 3 in there like last season.
I’d like to see at least 1 more winger type and probably 2 more full backs added as well.
Ideally see 5 or 6 more coming in then. No loan deals done yet so I think that could be a realistic number.
