Let's say we sign nought, nil and zilch before the transfer window is over how would you rate our business so far?
 
Anything less than a first choice keeper and a goalscoring wide player to replace Robinson would make it a poor window.

We also need to offload several fringe players.

Just heard a rumour we could be in for a Japanese midfield general named Zero. He use to play on the wing but moved central midfield, apparently good at spraying the ball around in attack, although known to be a little Kamikaze in the tackle.

I would add another striker to that list.
 
It's getting a bit worrying now, one free transfer in Bauer, and another Freeby lined up in Nuge, I thought we would have 2 or 3 decent transfers in by now and I just cannot see us actually spending a fee on someone, infact il be amazed if we do.
 
I’d say Bauer + Nugent + an unheard of untested replacement for CR would be par for the course. I’m hoping for Bauer, Nugent, new keeper, new winger.

Not sure I agree re shifting lots of people off the books though - yes developmental loans for people important, but no one in the squad I’m desperate to see the back of now.

If we signed nobody other than Bauer and Nugent it would be an abysmal window. Especially with the loss of Robinson and the money that came with it.

I struggle to see how we are improving if that’s the case.

I'd agree with that. Although I would add the caveat(s) that we've managed to keep together most of a young squad who've had another season playing together, AND we surely can't (touch wood) have another season blighted by injuries.
 
Better trying to make the most of what you have got than buying for the sake of it. We are not short of players though we are probably over-reliant on Pearson, for whom the still developing Ledson is our only back-up, and Browne, for whom we really have no proper back-up at all. Otherwise it is a question of finding better than what we already have.

I see it as :

Bauer + Nugent + Bodin > Robinson

As an individual Robinson is the best of the 4, but as a squad I think it's an improvement

Of course I still hope we add someone else, and yes, I am ignoring no hopers who may be leaving

Who such players might be is another matter - Crowe, Rudd if we bring in another keeper, Huntington after great and meritorious service might be my suggestions. I know Moult has his detractors but I think he was starting to look good before her got injured last season and deserves the opportunity to build on that. Burke would be on most lists for outgoing status but he has been quite effective in the pre-season so far.
