Well he has nearly 7 million to play with, after our failure to secure the Norwegian guy ,
if that's what cardiff where prepared to pay it should be back in the pot and ready to go ,and that's after the lincoln guy has signed.

That's fine and you can also buy quality no need to be just loans do you agree ? or should we not bother and tell tan to put it back in your pocket? spend it on something else.

I think we need need at the very least

Full back
Centre back
Striker

Maybe also a number 6 unless BBM plans to play Robertson there.

Left back cover
Wintle replacement
Another striker would be nice
We are stacked at centre back why would we need more

Winger
LB
RB
CM
Striker

Mix of loans and permanent. I don’t think that’s too much to ask if you add in some loans there.

For me Chambers not up to it as a Championship level centre half.
Lawlor and Fish not played much at this level. Lawlor will be fine - jury out slightly on Fish.
Osho prone to a mistake still though experienced at this level.
We looked vulnerable at times last season against teams who were strong at set pieces.

I'd just like to see a strong, gnarly, experienced, no nonsense centre half to add some grit at the back.

I think we're probably okay on the wings with Willock, Tanner, Davies and Ashford.

Someone said (think it was llan bluebird) that BBM's project this season will be using Robertson as a six, can see that happening.

Left back to challenge Bagan.
Centre forward to challenge Salech.
A centre back certainly if we lose Lawlor.
Anyone else would be a bonus.

A winger with genuine pace,
A dominant ball playing 6
LB cover
A 9 to challenge Salech

Job done!

I would think two more would be ideal, maybe three.

Doesn’t work like that the £7m would have been seen as an investment with a high ROI

If we have got Moylan, I think ideally another 3.

Dominant centre half (similar to Morrison)

Midfield controller / distributor (similar to Gunnerson)

Ambidextrous pacey winger (similar to whits or Burke)

Question is do these players exist in our price range or loans ?

We gotta get competition for Bagan and Salech so 2 more is a must. With King now fit and slotting in to midfield, that completes our squad as far as numbers are concerned.

To be more competitive though I feel we need a centre back with more height and another winger with genuine pace. Reckon we pretty much cover all bases then.

Being greedy, King to go out on loan and another 6 in to replace him so 5 more players would be amazing.

Personally I really don’t rate Isaac Davies. I’d like a replacement for him.

BBM won't disguard the younger players
New signings will have to fight for their places

Completely agree. People have asked for another CB BUT that feels a luxury to me when we have 4 and Ng can play there. We desperately need a back-up to Salech especially if we don’t get Kellyman back

100% out and out centre half otherwise we will get murdered on set pieces. Also we need pace out wide wingers who can actually drop a shoulder and beat the fullback

Four more minimum id say if we want to try climb the table in my opinion but staying up is key this season that's the main thing for me with this current squad although some will say top 6 as that's what they think :bluescarf:
