So How Many Players Do You Expect Cellino To Sign....

before the kick-off of the new season ?

[becchio bear]

I don't know but I would prefer quality over quantity

[Martyn]

Who knows? It's risky to use the words "expect" and "Cellino" in the same sentence.

[HarryofOz]

10 and a half, the half being Morison's return from loan.

That many

[HarryofOz]

That many

Well maybe not that many but I expect he will spend the dosh early.

Hope so but he may not wish to pay out salaries too early especially after all the cut-backs, although we are only six weeks away from the start of the season !

With all the money he got from the sale of Cagliari I think he will take some risks, If he spends too little after that huge influx of cash he will face a mini revolt if we struggle. I don't expect big money signings but I do expect quite a few signings of goodish quality to get his reign off on the right foot.

I like your optimism Harry, but I think we've seen with his choice of head coach that cheap trumps good.

Strangely enough I do expect some good news on the player front. The coach is different as Cellino wants someone who will do as he says and be easy to sack if need be. That meant no big name or even medium name would do.

Im going to take a punt on 7 new faces coming through the door, 5 of which will be from abroad.

I think thats the amount of players we need to improve on last years results granted that those 7 possess the quality to play football on the floor rather than in the air.

[weasel]

I'm guessing on unknown players from abroad or players that are currently in the conference or have been in there recently so will have been seen by the new coach. From what I read and hear about Cellino he is more likely to buy one million players at £1 than 1 * £1m signing. Sort of like the policy we adopted in League 1 where we gambled on a lot of unknown freebies/low fee signings in the hope that 1 or 2 might be the hidden gems.

I am thinking 6 players and two around the £900.000- to a £mill mark and the rest cheaper workman like players. I think he would rather spend on players rather than coaching staff because he can sell players if it doesn't work out but he gets nothing back on a sacked coach lol

Hopefully those 7 who play football on the floor will replace all the hoofers

True the hapless McDermott is on a real good screw still earning two salaries from Reading & LUFC

Actually, Weasel, if we want players the new coach is familiar with, they'll have to come from Aldershot or Torquay. I think Cellino will pick the new players without giving any thought to what Hockaday thinks of them.

Cellino knows decent players, he's kept Cagliari up in Serie A mostly during his tenure. Coaches, maybe not, but not afraid to wield the chop and change axe when things need a different direction. Good or bad, we'll see how that works in England.
