Four in so far (five if you include Ben Williams, although I think he's probably more for the U23 squad). When asked, Hecky said "Lots", so it'll be interesting to see how many more there'll be. Personally, it wouldn't surprise me to see another half a dozen, perhaps even more when you include loans. I'm very pleased with our new recruits so far, keep up the good work Hecky. This is one very happy Happy Clapper!
and when you put Sessi D'almeida into the mix he is like having a new player too. Hope he does well too.
I will go for 6 more permanent signings before season starts, 3 loans and maybe a sneaky buy in or around deadline day. My hopes are to sign two strikers, one with pace that can get in behind the defence and one target man. This would mean four different types of strikers with payne and bradshaw added to the number. Two wingers, left back and a defensive midfielder I keep hearing that people within the club are excited that a big deal might be made that will put bums on seats. Next week might be a bit mental because hecky wants to get majority of signings done before they go to hungary so old whitey might be cream crackered next week. Love this time of year, all the hope, dreams, ins and outs before a ball gets kicked in August.
I think it'll be be 4 first team quality, and then 4 solid loans. Maybe a couple more for the development squad.
