Norwood is different gravy to Bradley though ffs let’s not act like he’s not consistently one of the best in the division.

And the season before Sharp’s last season at Sheffield United he scored 14 goals. Norwood’s past it now. You’re repeating the same thing over and over. Norwood was in the team of the season a year ago. That’s great. Are we spending our transfer budget on a time machine?
I do wonder whether Acun realises that midfielders actually need to run/be competent defensively, as the amount he's signed that can't is pretty staggering.
He actually thought a midfield 3 of Seri, Traore and an unfit Tufan with Woods on the bench would be a successful midfield.
Perhaps a compelling argument for someone like Acun not actually involving himself in transfers and instead hiring someone competent to do it for him..
Naa we'll sign Norwood and Zajc on big money, we'll keep getting cut through in midfield and then he'll sack the gaffer for finishing 7th
Which is why he signed Tyler Morton to play alongside him as the runner, knowing we also had Regan Slater and Greg Docherty who are also great at covering ground.
We missed Seri big time while he was away, it's no coincidence that him being at the AFCON coincided with our worst run of form and performances. Tufan finished the season with 10 goals and 2 assists, I'm not sure you could ask for more from an unfit midfielder at this level.
Yes, we could do with a defensive midfielder who can tackle. Walter's tactics at Hamburg used one, I'm sure we'll pick one up.

"As many as 10"? That feels like the minimum!

We need about 12-15 in all honesty especially if we max out our loan usage. We won’t see Jarvis come back early (which is a shame) but somebody who was loaned out like Smith or Simons is going to get an opportunity we just got to hope they step up.
I can only assume it actually means 10 signings of our own then the loans are on top of that.
Is this another re-hash story from last week or the week before?
Walter also said he wasn't expecting early signings and it was more important to get the right players than sign them early.
I agree it's better to get the transfers right but if the new squad doesn't get a pre-season together then the start of the season is going to be tough.

Seri would be a huge miss in any system Tim wants to put in. Like I said he won our most ball statistically in midfield last season. Next to the ‘runners’ of Morton, Slater and Doc that’s interesting. He was easily our best midfielder last year and be very hard to replace.
Mortons a good player but he’s been linked with some big clubs, he isn’t good enough at the moment to be anywhere near those and would be a bench warmer.

You mean the Philogene and Greaves that everybody expects to leave so wouldn't be here ?
Not unexpected but it is an insane number, even if we had the money and he wanted to come I wouldn't want him back for that much!
I like Morton but until he irons out the one critical mistake per game he's not going to step up.

That's 26 players we have. If you deduct Lokilo, Woods and Longman, who we assume will be leaving, that gives us 23. 10 players added to that is 33 first team players. We had 37 players make first team appearances last season, so 10 seems about right if you account for January.
That list also highlights where the reinforcements need to be prioritised; there's a glaring hole in both full back areas, the right side of midfield and up front. We're going to need at least two, probably three strikers depending on whether TSF is going to be in the first team picture or loaned out.
