This is one I'm not that convinced about. Wouldn't be surprised if we've had calls with Barnsley and not doubting his qualities as a player but all the stuff about his family all being based in Middlesbrough and him not really wanting to move away just gives me a few doubts.
Think 3 more would do it nicely , CM on loan from a prem side wouldn't surprise me next. Striker I wonder if that might run late in the window and need Ahadme out the door.
I think there is still more to be done but it's going to be quiet for a while yet. Once the new players are fully integrated and may pending a few outgoings (planned or otherwise), the squad will be reassessed to see what the priorities are and who's/what's available.
Realistically, I'm not sure the window could have gone any better than it has, as a newly promoted club. Both in terms of who we've brought in, but also the earlyness of the signings.
To have 95% of your business done by mid July is a great job, especially with our summer being delayed by being in the playoffs.
A mix of experienced championship players and top league 1 players with room to develop. Really like what we have gone for with the recruitment strategy

I think it'll be 1 or 2, looking at our squad. Which suits me. I'd even take 0 more if it guaranteed no outgoings (apart from Ahadme and youth loans)
What comes in now all depends on the shape NJ plays. Can’t watch on Saturday but assuming it will be closer to what we will see against Watford than last weekend due to player availability. However, if we do play one striker with two 10s behind I can’t see us bringing in another striker
LWB cover for Edwards CM option (Donley would be perfect) Striker (to replace Ahadme)
1. Enslin? TC? 2. Maybe. We have quite a lot in the position now though and I think Anderson is poised for a breakout season 3. We have more up front than it may seem. Any striker we bring in has to be significantly better than say Mbick

It's a tricky one to really judge and probably depends a bit on outgoings and a bit on where NJ sees some of these new signings like JRC and Apter playing.
