What do we reckon left to sign then?

first choice RWB -  (Potentially Offiah?)
first choice LCB/competition for Gillepshey - (Potentially Famewo?)
First choice No.8/compeition for Docherty - (Potentially Galbraith but looking unlikely)

Then probably need another LWB as cover for Edwards
And another more defensive minded CM as cover for Coventry.
Potentially another striker option if we do let Kanu/Ahadme leave.

Would leave the squad looking something like this:

GK - Kaminski / Mannion / AMB

RWB - *NEW* (OFFIAH?) / Assiimwe

RCB - Ramsey / Z.Mitchell

CB - Jones / A.Mitchell

LCB - *NEW*(FAMEWO?) / Gillepshey

LWB - Edwards / *New*

DM -  Coventry /*NEW*/ Taylor

CM -  *NEW* / Docherty / Anderson

CAM - Carey / Berry

ST - Oloafe / Godden / *NEW*

ST - Campbell / Leaburn / Ahadme

Wouldn't expect AMB, Taylor and Ahadme to still be here at the start of the season, and i think Asiimwe and Zach Mitchell will be loaned again unless they look outstanding in pre-season.

Would leave us with 17 players (if we include Dixon) ahead of any new signings. So i think we need at least 6 more minimum.

There's no way we only sign 4 more players.

We won’t be selling Taylor as he’s crocked but I get what you mean .

Millwall handed financial blow from Charlton Athletic and Stockport County deal

Why would Millwall agree to that?

I can see a box to box midfielder coming in to compete with or replace Docherty, and with an improvement I’d expect them to offer more creatively on the ball, but I don’t see Jones signing an out and out playmaker. He’ll want a midfielder who runs all day, press hard, wins second balls etc, but we’ll do very well if we can find and afford a player like that who’s also a genuine playmaker.

What I am encouraged by is that all of the signings seem to be chosen for a specific purpose or because of specific qualities (GL with experience, a forward who can run and press, a midfielder who scores goals etc).

It feels much more "logical" than signing players for their names or for the sake of it, like Tedic who was signed basically just because he was all we could even manage, or trying to make an artsy creative but workshy midfielder fit into Jones’s press-ageddon style.

Seems weird, but I guess if Stockport said to them "we're not selling at £1.5m if we only get £900k (or whatever) of it, we'd rather keep him at that price.", Millwall may have had a chance of a lesser percentage of something, or bigger percent of nothing.

Good business by Stockport if they managed to get away with that bluff though!

Tedic and fiorini I think who you're alluding too were hardly proven though there is quality to be had but I get what your saying in horses for courses just think when our sit behind the ball and harry tactics possibly start failing and we have no creativity or means to buy goals In a better league we will all start crying about why we didn't get them in I'd like a mix of both.

Has there been any official link to Burke? Pretty sure it came from a fan saying they liked him

Cawley said we were only looking to bring in 7 signings, so probably going to bring in a RCB/RWB (depending where Ramsay plays) a LCB, LWB and a CM/CAM on top of Kaminski Oloafe and Carey and that will be our business done would like another forward but not a necessity Oloafe, TC, Godden, Leaburn and then Ahadme/Mbick for emergency cover should be enough. Preston fans seem convinced they’ve won the race for Offiah as well 

Cawley speculated that it would be around 7 players. There was nothing definite about it.

Can i just say, having seen him play about 8/9 times last season, Charlie Kelman is a shit FOOTBALLER, clearly good at putting the ball in the net, but offers next to nothing in the build up, can’t pass, doesn’t hold it up, is purely a long ball chaser and that’s where his bread’s buttered, fair play to him. But he found his level & severely lacks any technical ability to progress any higher imo.  

I don’t think he is as bad as you make out but at the same time, I can’t see the hype. 21 goals last year but only 18 L1 goals in 4 seasons before. I definitely think it’s a gamble for championship clubs to be after him but you are only as good as your last season where his stats were impressive

Strikers are only as good as the quality of service provided for them.

And even then, they won't score from each and every chance.

Decent striker average: convert 1-in-3 chances.

I dunno did you ever see R9 play he could pick the ball up from anywhere and terrorise a defence.
