'Probably' - Crawley Town boss '100%' happy with squad, but hints at more additions

Reds have had another summer of big changes to the squad with 15 new signings so far and on the evidence of the Carabao Cup win at York City, it looks like they have recruited well.

With the window shutting on September 1, there is still plenty of time for Erdem Knoyar and Kazim-Richards to work their magic on bringing more additions.

But is the Reds boss happy with where the squad is now? “We are a squad now, 100 per cent,” he said.

"You can always progress. Am I expecting any more in? Probably. We identify a few different ones, but I'll say this with all honesty, it will have to be the right person because what we've got in that dressing room now is the right people. Sometimes the right player and person is not the same thing, if that makes sense. So it will definitely be that”

But he was adamant they won’t rush into anything. Her said: “It won't be a panic buy, because I am happy with the squad, so it won't be something that we panic to do. It will be something that we've identified and that we believe in 100 per cent.

“So I am still expecting additions from myself but if it's not the right person, then we won't do it. I'm very confident in the team, in the squad, and I said that before.”

Reds have seven new signings start at York City, with two more coming of the bench and Kazim-Richards is pleased with, especially with some making their profession debuts.

"We had nine debuts, and then we had three or four professional debuts. I am privileged to be able to be a part of these players' journey as well,” he said.

“That can never be taken away now. So for them guys to make their professional debuts, congratulations to them. So it just shows you what we're trying to build here.

“It shows you certain assets that the club is now obviously being able to have and long may it continue.”
