    If we only sign 7 players (including loanees) then I'll be throwing in the towel.
    How many players do you think a L1 club should have??
    I would be shocked if we bought in more than 7 players in the window,

    My 7 is assuming others go from what we have left. Personally think we need 10.

    He didn't, he actually said

    "I would expect somewhere between two to four, maybe five, major signings"

    But understanding words like expect and maybe isn't your strength is it.

    I can confirm from sources on CL that we have 2 new players at the training ground.

    If my maths are right I think 14 players have departed since last season finished. 

    Henderson will be replaced by Maynard Brewer returning. 

    Watson will be replaced with a fully fit Foster Caskey. 

    Castillo and John don't need replacing as they were hardly ever used.

    So I reckon we need the following. 

    2 left backs 
    2 right backs 
    2 centre halfs 
    2 attacking midfielders 
    2 strikers. 

    So ideally ten to come in.

    If we are serious about promotion I think we need at least
    1 x GK 
    1 x RB 
    2 x LCB 
    2 x LB 
    2 x CM 
    1 x RW 
    1 x ST

    So that’s 10 players, realistically we will probably sign 7 or 8 unless we can move a few on

    We have only got 5 places left in the squad.

    Does Reed play in the same position as Dobson? If so, although I wouldn't argue about needing more depth in that position equally I wouldn't have seen it as a priority given the gaping holes elsewhere in the squad. Hopefully, we'l bring in enough quality elsewhere for that not to matter.

    Yes he does, if we play the same system Swindon played last season.  You can't dictate what order you sign players in.

    I guess, in this regard, it will be interesting to see who doesn't go to Spain

    We have.  

    The cap was decreased by 1.

    Burstow, John and Castillo didn't count.

    Famewo, Lee and Leko are replaced by Davison, Kirk and Morgan (who is now over age).

    We released 6.  Which means 5 takes us back to the cap.

    Of course you can have unlimited u21s.

    We’ll have five loans I would think. Only two permanent signings seems unlikely to me.

    Possibly the hope/intention is that if Reed has the destroyer role then maybe Dobson can be given a new, more advanced role. He's not bad at picking passes and scored a worldy against (I think) Walsall?

    Maybe they want to try him further forward and Reed is there to cover the DM role.

    Yeah I'd say 5 major signings plus 5 loans/back ups is about what I expect.

    Davison and Kirk will possibly go, possibly Morgan too, loanees will likely be underage.
