Notts County manager Ricardo Moniz has admitted that he would like to bring at least three more signings to Meadow Lane.

The Magpies have already added 15 new players to their ranks this summer, as well as promoting two players from the Academy.

However the Dutchman, who was unable to keep the League 1 last season after taking over from Shaun Derry, still wants to add to his defensive and attacking options.

 

Speaking after his side's 3-0 pre-season friendly defeat at Grimsby Town on Saturday, Moniz said: "We need people who can score the goals and avoid the goals.

"It's very simple; it's at the front and at the back. In the middle everybody is okay, but the exception is defence and attack.

"A centre-back has always been my wish, but we haven't been able to find the right one as yet... but I would like at least three (more players) in. We know that. It's not a surprise."

 

Notts have so far recruited Scott Loach, Scot Bennett, Rhys Sharpe, Gill Swerts, Mawouna Amevor, Wes Atkinson, Stanley Aborah, Rob Milsom, Kyle De Silva, Genaro Snijders, Julian Jenner, Filip Valencic, Graham Burke, Jon Stead and Adam Campbell.

In addition, youngsters Jordan Richards and Lartey Sarpong have been promoted from the Academy into the first team.

    All of which need time to settle and get used to playing with each other, however I do feel a strong CB would be a good addition to the ranks - Perhaps the inclusion of a striker but for me, I think three players would be pushing things.

    However, we trust Moniz and I am sure he knows exactly how to resolve our defensive woes.

    We have to improve the back somehow, get a good CB in who can command and instruct those around him.

    Then we should be fine.

    i honestly felt confident going into the games, yet i hope by time we scunthrope we actually have another cb. we are very open, we need a solid player at the back and players to get into positions where they can help when teams put us under pressure.

    losing to grimsby is a bit disappointing but we should not get carried a way!

    I am surprised to read that we are seeking three players, are we not just short of a centre back? It had looked like our squad had been completed. I do hope we do not panic because of the past two friendlies.

    Give them time, it will come good.
