Manager Paul Warne tells the clubs official website that his targets in the transfer market are still realistic aims. Having already brought in 3 permanant deals in Clark Robertson, Kyle Vassell and Billy Jones, plus Zak Vyner on loan, Warne still has his eyes on more players to bolster his squad.
“The players that I want to bring in, I think we'll get them. Obviously we do need some bodies. We only have two first-team central midfielders fit at the moment, so it is obvious that we need a couple of midfielders. I am looking at bringing in at least one more defender and maybe we'll look at something else up top. We also would like to strengthen the goalkeeper department. It sounds a lot but I am confident we'll be able to bring in a couple soon.”
“My first targets are still my first targets. I am not panicking, but I know we have two-and-a-half weeks so if and when I know it definitely isn't happening with one player, then I'll move on with my next target. We haven't got to that stage yet, I am still very much set on what I wanted and from all the information that I heard today, everything is progressing how I would like.
“The World Cup has slowed the market up, and whilst I am not signing anyone from Juventus, the impact from the top does filter down because it affects when others can be released. We need to make sure we get the right player and the right sort of human being here. That's what we'll continue to do.”
