We’ve done well so far and it appears the wage bill has risen, so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if one or two loan signings will come in and that will be us done.

No one really knows if the wage bill has gone up or down, we have signed, on paper, some good players, It is worth bearing in mind that the players who have left us, Rose, Ashley-Seal, Mills, Harriman and Horsfall were all signed as League 1 players and, I assume, that their wages reflected this

Unless someone comes out from the club and declares it we don't know. The salaries of the players who have left balancing against those that have arrived is unknown. Add to that the in and out fees, either transfer and/or signing on, should also be taken into account as well. We can guess or speculate all we want but we'll never know for definite. TBH, I like sitting back, enjoying and supporting those we have without worrying about how much it's cost someone, that's their problem and something that I don't need to be too bothered about. |

Granted, but what part of that 'a touch higher' is specifically for transfers and salaries and is relative to inflation and/or buying power? It sounds good, but it's easy to say that when you don't have to reveal actual and comparable figures? |

I'm with you on this DC, I don't care how much we have spent signing players, it's someone else's problem not mine. We do need more players though, so I hope they will have more news for us this week as the new season is looming fast. |

We need a Target man and some pace out wide, being greedy a playmaker we so desperately need.

Agreed, at least 3 more players all of a forward persuasion required. |

I’m not so certain that we need an out-and-out target man this year, I think JB and CC are looking to make the team style a little bit more progressive than previous seasons given the players we have brought in appear to be more comfortable on the ball. To accommodate a target man we would have to maybe go even more direct than last year which I don’t think will improve our results - less possession, less shots, less chances of winning regularly (at least this is the thought process for lots of high level coaches currently).
Effective target men usually come at a price as it’s not just about being over a certain height, they need to anticipate where their teammates want to put it. Vadaine Oliver vs Harry Smith for example was chalk and cheese. I’m not convinced there are many at this level that are too effective at this level, and the ones that are (Oliver, Palmer, Quigley) all come at a premium. Richie Bennett would have been a great option for this but he’s recently signed for Barrow.
I reckon getting a quality number 10 in is the absolute priority now. Probably the best bet is a season loan from a Prem / Champ team but Swindon proved that you can sign some great creative players at this level with getting Jonny Williams last year.

I think a lot will depend on whether Brady sees us playing predominantly the 4-2-3-1 of last year, something else or having flexibility which gives us more options but possibly dilutes quality. I kind of get the feeling that Brady has filled his first 11 and those coming in will be for depth and to challenge for a place in the team. That’s not to say that won’t force their way into the starting lineup like Koiki did last year but I think signings now will be of a lesser pedigree or loans.
