Assuming all of those sign, i still think we will go down unless we bring in at least 3 good, experienced players. Only time will tell i guess.

I'm actually pretty pleased with that. very good idea to keep Oatway on a month-to-month.

I may be a mug but I really do believe that we will bring in at least 3 players better than we already have or 2 and retain Bertin. I'm normally quite sceptical in the close season but I think Wilkins has good contacts/reputation and has been pretty succesfull considering our plight recently.

I agree with that.
Wonder if there might be a settlement reached with him, like they did with Turienzo.

I thought some had said that Bertin was not our player to sign...

Bertin is the main worry as he could walk into any League one side and probably most Championship side. But we'll see, he does want to make a name for himself in the UK so maybe one more year with us?
I just hope we can get a few decent signings in. We seem to have a lot of players up front how are just a bit short of what we need. Revell when fully fit and Elder once his fitness improves may have a good season, but we still need that 20+ goal scorer.
Expect loads of "my mate" and "this source" said type of threads for the next 3 months.

Yes, yes, yes. I can only go on what he himself told me.Uncle Buck said:
I can't help it if he doesn't know his own employment situation.

See i'm not sure he's got that much in the way of contacts myself (look at the players he's bought in so far, and it's only hard to see who the contact is for Savage and Ward), nor do i think Bertin is quite what he's cracked up to be. However, it's a bit early to start worrying yet, as we've still got 2 and a half months to actually get the players in.
If come the first week in August our squad isn't much difference, THEN i'll safely declare we are doomed

We need to shed 2 of our 6 strikers as well, probably on loans, but we are top heavy with strikers that will not get enough goals at present.

LB - Mayo, Rents, Cobbs, Lynch (at a push)
CB - Butters, Lynch, Hinshelwood, Elphick, Rehman (?)
RW - Cox, Robinson, Hart
CM - Hammond, Reid, El-Abd, Mayo, Bertin (here's hoping), Hinshelwood (no, really), Cox
Striker - Assuming you mean a 25-goal a season striker, f*** knows.
Yeah, I'll say CB, CM if Bertin doesn't join, Striker as chief priority - strenghten the spine.

TLO, can we have a LW?

I agree, although i think that's a minimum.
I expect some of the mentioned 'cover' players will come on loan...and you'd like to think we'd be able to borrow better players than the lot we already have, meaning that some of this years regulars perhaps turn into 'cover' players.
