7 is a good number if they all improve those still here.

Examples, Hunt has ability but needs players who can be receivers and enforcers round him.

Efete and Emmanuelle eorked well as a pair interplaying with defending and attacking.

More good partnerships needed on both flanks.

Better passing and better possession required along with speedier thoughts and actions so as not to be caught in possession.

Unless I have misread, I think a couple in here might be misunderstanding the poll question... I THINK it's asking how many new players will START in our first game of the season - so players we are signing as backup/rotation options or who will be slowly worked into the first team don't count (if I've understood the question!)

In which case, I've gone with 6, being the following:

NEW KEEPER (I suspect Max is going to leave - expect he would have re-signed by now otherwise)

Efete Waterfall Maher NEW LEFT BACK (I am not sure Hurst is a fan of Glennon's defensive qualities and might look for someone a bit more solid - Glennon definitely a great player though)

NEW WINGER (someone with a bit of pace) Clifton NEW MIDFIELDER (seems to be a common consensus that we are still lacking that midfielder general type player) Khan

NEW FORWARD (big target man type, i.e. the new Taylor) NEW FORWARD (nippy, hard working forward - Hurst doesn't seem to like Orsi for whatever reason so I would be surprised to see him start the season leading the line)

The above isn't necessarily what I think Hurst SHOULD do, but more what I think he WILL do, judging by his approach in past seasons and his treatment of the current squad.

A squad of 20 players would be about right plus the young pros, so 7/8 needed.

But to answer the actual question 4 new players to start

UPDATE - After reading again ! - 4 definite new starters in the 11 and at least 7 new signings capable of starting if needed.

Not counting any younger fringe signings to develop over the season.
