How many

We seem to be releasing a lot of players so just how many are we expecting Paul to bring in, and with him going on record to say there is going to be limited availability in this window.I suppose it may open the door for a few of the youth players to see if they can cut the muster

If X is the number of players we release or send back then I expect us to sign X players give or take a 2 or 3.

My wish list is a creative midfielder and another striker, preferably one that has a good track record of scoring at a higher level.

If I am being really greedy I'd ask for an experienced goalkeeper too.

We've got two experienced keepers and neither of them look up to it at the moment IMHO.I agree though I'd take a decent keeper if we could.

I'd like to think that it won't be just laonees and free agents but I'm sure it will be, for now anyway.  

No way are we signing another keeper unless we shift one on. It would make no financial sense for us to carry 4 keepers,especially with one of them likely to be one of our highest paid players, and only one making each match day squad.

Neither of them look up to it..? Really?

I’d like to see a striker to replace Bell, a right back to replace Sears, a centre back to replace Towler and another centre midfielder, so 4. I also really hope that we extend Hunt, who is a very good footballer.

I’ve only seen Crocombe make one mistake, and then not a howler. The rest of the time he’s looked fine to me. Admittedly I don’t get to many away games.

Makes me laugh when people dismiss and castigate our keepers. So unrealistic. At this level, we have two great goalies. Macca is proven, and then some. Not flawless or without some aspects of his game that are weaker than others, but he’ll win us more points than he loses us.  What is it people expect? Keepers at all levels will make an occasional mistake, Fact. All players do. Fans forget this and dismiss the context and overreact.  Often, when keepers make a mistake, it means a goal conceded. This isn’t the case with any other position.

I have a lot of time for James McKeown, without attempting to do the maths he’s probably the player I’ve seen play for Town more than any other (the original Macca would be close but my first game only came in 1992), so I think you naturally build up a degree of affection for the bloke.

But goalkeeping’s a funny position, and I think he’s had a touch of the ‘Joe Hart’s’ since he first got dropped for Dean Henderson, and he’s never been able to recover his confidence or form ever since. He’s not the same player he was five or six years ago for me, and whilst goalkeepers will indeed always make mistakes, they’ve become more frequent.

I can’t help but think that it’s probably best for him and us that he leaves at the end of the season, though where he goes from here I’m not so sure. Number two at a league club wouldn’t surprise me, though I suspect he has a fairly large pay cut heading his way.

That’s not me castigating him - he’s been a marvellous and memorable servant to the club over the course of the last decade and a bit. I’m just saying it how I see it.
