*Alan Partridge voice, having stepped on spike* “Oooo, it’s a good signing.” Thankfully none of these people have come from Stoke! "Have you got your fun packs? It should contain Louie Barry, a Curly-Wurly, Lewis Bate, a free digital watch with denim strap..."

I'm happy with the squad now but I don't think we've finished. Don't read too much into that it's just a hunch, I'm definitely in the don't know category. We’ve got to be done. If we can’t make this collection of players into a decent L1 squad we may as well knock it on the head. I say it every year but we can’t just keep spending and spending. I'm more than happy with our squad now, I can't see where we need strengthening.

I say it every year but we can’t just keep spending and spending. we have 26 players. 3 of those 26 are keepers - 23 3 of those 23 are u21 - 20 Not included cody,okeke or anyone like that as i think they will be out on loan.

It might sound ridiculous but I do worry what will happen when a team like Mansfield try to kick us off the park and how our younger players cope without older heads like Sarcevic and Madden around. On our day I am sure we will play some great stuff as you say. With some of the pace in our squad Mansfield may have problems catching our players. Unfortunately therein lies a potential issue for late challenges. Won’t get anywhere near us. They are a good bet to go straight back down. More likely to injure themselves trying to keep up

Nope, I just don't think we're finished, it's just too early in the window to have it all wrapped up, top clubs are just returning from tours and loanees are available.

I think we'll see 1 or 2 go out which has been hinted at - could be loans and maybe similar come in. I agree this squad is stronger than I expected before the window and I like how we've got our business done early. Few question marks though about what's happening with Powell, our formation, RWB (unless MSH is well ahead of schedule) and injuries though.

My completely unfounded feeling is that we're probably finished, unless players leave or Mellon's injury is really bad (in which case we might go after another striker). Not that I'd be opposed to bringing in a quality box-to-box midfielder, mind. Only other positions where it'd even vaguely make sense to strengthen are cover at RWB, and a ball carrier on the right flank, but both feel like gold-plating.

Genuinely one of, if not the most talented player I've ever seen at County. Definitely the most exciting.
Absolutely unbelievable signing and buzzing that we've pulled it off! Let's just hope he stays injury free.
