At least 4 more needed if no wanted players are sold:

Keeper - Tim unlikely to sign?
CB - Moore?
CM - Bernardo?
Winger - Iran winger probably too expensive?

I make it 5-6 needed -

GK
CB
Defender who can play defensive midfield
Central and attacking midfielder
Winger
Striker if both Baldock and Hemed leave.

Do you honestly think that the club wouldn't announce a new signing whilst the World Cup was being played then?
Not at all.

But if there is a choice of a late night announcement, or wait a few hours until the next day then I reckon it could happen

Take it from me, we won't be signing five or six new players during this window.

We've already signed 3 first team squad players. And assuming Krul leaves then we need another keeper, centre back, attacking midfielder, winger.. Need to replace Goldson, Rosenior, Sidwell, Murphy etc . Take it from me. We will.

We need 4 just to replace Krul, Rosenior, Goldson and Sidwell.

You are saying we won't at least replace Skalak as well ?

Well Skalak wasn't required last season so l'm not convinced that we will replace him yet. Hemed and Baldock are on a year and two year contracts, so l think it will take good money to prise them away.

My money is on us signing four.

I've heard, from various places, that the target is four more.
I assume that this is subject to change, based upon any large bids for Dunk, the Krul situation and ability to move on Hemed/Baldock.
OTM's news that Murray now counts as HGP is a real help!

I think that there will be 2 more signings possibly 3 maximum.

In that case, we are going to struggle quite a lot this season.

The minimum we need is a goalkeeper, centre back, central midfielder and another winger. Ideally, we'd also get another defensive option and maybe even another attacker to replace Baldock so four is the minimum.

His maths mean that he clearly thinks that 3-4 of Towell, Norwood, Baldock, Hemed and Skalak will be in the 25 man squad.

That was what I was thinking - if, as he said, we only sign two/three, where does the rest of the squad come from? I for one can't see many, if any, of those you list being in the 25.

For the record, my guess would be 4-5 more to come in.

I think that we will sign an out of contract old keeper on a free as 3rd keeper. We do not need another winger or CB urgently as we have signed Balogun so again possibly an OOC oldie as 4th choice if needed. So my 2 to sign and spend money on would be a CM and a utility defeneder. The possible 3rd could be a CB like MOORE but as I said not needed at the moment. I think a couple from the U23s could be in the squad probably under age so no need to be named.

Don’t agree - we absolutely need another out and out CB. With only D, D and Balogun we’re one injury/suspension away from being woefully exposed.
