Celina reaction on 11:21 - Aug 30 with 2270 views | trncbluearmy | You can`t have to many good players, but it has become obvious we need a decent keeper which looks likely and a experienced dominate DM a decent No2 would help as well but get those in and Celina and that is cracking business and absolutely no excuses. Cook has been backed with quality and promotion is expected |  | |  |

Celina reaction on 11:36 - Aug 30 with 2155 views | chrismakin | TBF to them, we've scored 9 conceded 10. Attacking isn't our issue, so can't blame many for not being excited to begin with i think it's a fab bit of forward thinking business. But i'm glad Walton is being signed, and hope Morsy can be done. Then that's us set. |  |

Only thing I would say is it makes signing Barry seem very odd. I guess they didn’t think Bersant would be available because of his medical problems. |  |

I think Barry is one of those take a chance on a prem youngster loans. In brief appearences so far, can't say i've noticed much that will help us personally. Think league 2 may have been better for him to begin with Brightside is he doesnt take up a squad place, so it's a low risk loan imo |  |

But as we saw last season, you absolutely can have an oversized squad without a clear starting eleven and where resources aren't being used judiciously. |  |

No, it's not bloated but without offloading a couple of three (Holy, Kenlock and Jackson) - with Celina and Walton coming in - it's certainly not 'lean' anymore. It's not a massive problem as I think we all agree that on paper it's a better squad but I do wonder who we wouldn't have signed had we got Celina earlier, for example. Also, we do have an abundance of attacking players whilst still have glaring issues in the middle of the part and possibly, I'd argue at CB. |  |

Sorry i'll amend We 'won't have an oversized squad' They'll be players leaving I think we'll settle around 24/25 Which will give you nice numbers to work with as you'll rarely have a full squad in training together. |  |

Strange isn’t it how an U21 loanee counts towards the squad in Championship but not in League One. |  |

We have got too many players. Cook said he wanted a small tight knit group |  | |  |

Well, otherwise Premier League teams wouldn’t be able to stockpile youngsters and loan them out. Got to look after them, after all. |  |

Celina reaction on 12:00 - Aug 30 with 1900 views | ArnieM | Problem is, people can’t see the bigger picture can they ! This Club is rebuilding at a rate of knots, not only to get promotion out of league one , but setting the foundations for life in the Championship thereafter ….. strangely enough it takes time , patience and vision . A quality seemingly lacking in some of the Club’s fan base . |  |

I expect we’ll look to offload a few more eg. Dobra, Holy, Jackson, Kenlock. Failing that I guess the bomb squad will get a boost to their numbers! |  | |  |

The players we are signing would not be good enough for the Championship, so it is not building for the future. Cook seems to have a scattergun approach to signings. It looks like he is panicking and needs to replace some of his signings already. We have only had Hladky for 5 games and now it seems we need to replace him. Likewise Evans or Harper with the proposed signing of Morsy. Why did we buy Penney and 4 games in replace him with Coulson. We would have been better to keep Kenlock as a backup because he is no worse than Penney. As he seemed to know Evans for so long did he not know that he wasn't a defensive midfielder? |  | |  |

Coulson was always coming in, just waited on Boro. Penney came as the back up and potential left flank cover option too. Morsey.. well we tried to sign Crooks, so we've always clearly wanted to sign another cm in that mould Hladky, was 1 of 2 keepers we wanted to sign So no, there has been no scattergun approach, its been a proper transfer window |  |

This club's fan base is the most patient in the entire football league. |  |

Cook has said he wants two players for every position . It’s a squad aimed at getting out of this division, first and foremost . I’m addition , where possible , you add players willing to come here whilst we are a league one side , that can do a job for us in the Championship. I’d say Edwards, Coulson, Fraser, Edmundson, Burgess, and potentially Morsy and Celina all fit that bill . |  |

Is it too far fetched to think that Morsy, Walton and Celina were always part of the plan. And surely you can see that Penney is an upgrade on Kenlock? I expect if Kenlock does get a move it will be to the National League at best. |  | |  |

Quite a leap to suggest CB is an issue when one of the cba hasn't even played a game yet.. |  |

By the end of tomorrow we will have two players for each position and probably one spare defender and one spare forward. It’ll be much tighter than last season. |  |
