Hopefully a lot more than we’ve seen over the last few weeks so we have the squad in place as Jones talked about.
We know Mitchell is likely to announced next week.
A new striker needs to come in if May goes, in addition to the one more we already need.
We need to add a first choice GK to that and central midfield also needs strengthening with at least one more signing to add to Berry.
Jones might want another winger to go with Campbell so we have the flexibility to use other formations.
I’d only see us signing a RB/RWB if Watson moves on. Similar with further signings at CB.
Heard Jones looking at playing Campbell more centrally this year.
Fingers crossed he can gain more pace.
And height and strength and a more robust character. I'm being facetious, there's a player in there, but he is imo a work in progress and I hope not s first pick, wherever Jones plays him
Agreed. There’s something about him I like, but he’s not the finished article as yet.
Doesn't pre-season start next Thursday? I thought we would have done more business by now if I'm being honest. Hopefully a busy week ahead.
Technically it’s 4 players if Mitchell is done which is a lot more than usual before pre season, I think Jones has put un needed pressure on himself by saying it’ll be done when in hindsight it’s so rare to have your squad sorted by then but hopefully 2/3 next week and that’ll take us up to 6/7 which isn’t to bad.

To be fair he said majority of the deals done with a few more closer to the close of the window

Mitchell sounds like it's done but holding off the announcement - it seems like Davies (the GK) is probably fairly close as well. That would be 2 more and possibly there's other things going on in the background.
We can debate the quality of signings but purely in terms of numbers/efficiency then honestly I have to say we seem to be doing rather better than usual.

Better than usual isn't much of a barometer. For me it seems like we are behind where NJ wanted to be. Hopefully a busy week ahead.
I can see us announcing Mitchell, a GK (probably Davies but might be a dark horse there, plenty of experienced GKs on the market) and Ahadme next week and then hopefully throughout the rest of the summer we pick up another CB, another CM and another striker

Still not enough & the 4 or 5 new players ncludes 2 GK's. We are still a very long way off assembling a squad that could get top 6, let alone automatic promotion. I'm not sure if a couple of defenders, 2 GK's & a midfielder on the wrong side of 30 could be described as squad rebuilding.

Smith Rowe is available for 30 million. Time these billionaires made a statement
