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

What about Nmecha? He only missed 4 games last season (think he had a knock early on?) so there's plenty of talk of replacing Robinson but we also need to replace Nmecha. Or is that Nugent??!

I guess you could put Bodin down as replacing Barker however Neil said we were short in wide areas last season.

Be back to back poor summer transfer windows if it is Bauer and Nugent only.

I think I need a pair of the rose-tinted glasses you are wearing.

1. You cannot replace Robinson with 3 players or play all 3 of those players at the same time so saying that makes us better than we were is just daft!
2. Bodin is not an addition to the squad, he was already in the squad but injured. Players can be injured at any time, they're still our players!
3. As far as I'm aware Nugent hasn't been confirmed and even if he has, how can a player who scores so few goals these days be an improvement. We already have plenty of strikers who don't score goals.
4. Bauer...I'll give you that one, we needed a centre half .

Totally agree, complete lack of ambition. We have not strengthened if we just add Nugent and Bauer whereas other clubs already better than us have and those below us like Rovers have. To improve we need a striker , a left back and a goalkeeper as bare minimum to have a chance of top 6 .

Arguably a quality right-back might be more use to us than a left-back where Hughes and Earl give us a good balance of age and complementary attributes. But we should wait to see where we are when the window closes.

Happy with Bauer, think we lacked a bit of competition in central defence last season as Huntington just wasn't really with it. Don't think he'll be a world beater but brings some height and physicality to the table.

But I don't see how a 34yr old Nugent is better than Stockley or Moult.

Losing our top scorer without a good replacement would be a sickener.
 
Haha, the notion that 3 players are better than 1, Robinson.

All very well until you pick the XI and realise 1 choice is better than 3.

Right, so according to the well known ITK poster, truenorthender...

We're signing Roy Cropper and Rey Mysterio.

? Fuck sake. I can't wait til this transfer window is shut. Everyone's lost the plot.
