So CP has made us aware the he is looking to bring in 6 more players. My predictions / hopes are as follows - what are yours? Lets see who gets the most right come the start of the season.
1. Danny Green - much needed to provide competition for waggy and the key service for our strikers. Hopefully he'll choose us over Posh based on club size / long term career potential
2. Magnus Okuonghae - really rated him when Colchester beat us well at their place 2 years ago. Hopefully we can agree a fee.
3. Dave Martin - As CP said he saw Jackson playing inside I feel a left winger could be on the way and DM would fit the bill perfectly (plus Randy has given us hope on this one!)
4. Rhoys Wiggins - still hopeful this one could come off as Evina is still very young and therefore may suit a 'bit part' role this season (plus I don't see Youga ever returning)
5. Leon Legge - (who I'm guessing was the guy who initially wanted us to double his wages) or Christian Dailly for another year if Leon Legge doesn't reduce his wage demands.
6. Clayton Donaldson - we still need a 4th forward / big target man who we can throw on when we are chasing games and possibly need to be a little more direct / physical
If we get all these I'd be very happy!

Good shot at some names. Personally, I'd love to see the young kid, Dean Parrett, that we had on loan from Spurs last season back on a season's loan. Thought he bought a bit of class to the midfield and actually played with a bit of passion.
Plus he's another midfielder - and the more midfielders we have, the less likely McCormack is to get another game.
Bound to have a loan or 2 coming in as well
Joe Lewis is still with Peterborough.
Haven't a clue who we will get (some names, like Lee Martin last year, come out of the blue).
From the rumours so far, I would like:
1) Green
2) Frimpong
3) Martin (key - to enable Jackson to move inside)
4) Okuonghae
5) ANO Striker (would like an Iwelumo style player)
6) Legge
Joe Lewis was very error prone last season and despite a good reputation, really not sure if he is a better option than Sullivan or Robbie.
Would be very happy with Green, Donaldson, Dave Martin and at least 2 CB's inc Legge, Colchester CB.
Not sure if we will go back for Wiggins now we have Evina. More likely to sign someone who is versitile or we'll rely on Evina, Jackson (in emergencies) and the loan market if Evina gets injured.
Heard from a chum that he fell out with Posh after they rejected a bid from a Premiership team.
He is still young, has good experience and would be good to mold into to a new team
