Announce three new players. Will Vaulks, Curtis Nelson and Joe Day are all Cardiff City players.
Great news.
Our first Welsh international since Declan John and Emyr Huws?
Good news indeed.
Still think we need two more CM and rightback and a striker though.

Well said, Will.
Club legend
Curtis Nelson is supposed to be half decent , the other two have had very good reviews , its about the step up now
So that’s one of Smithies or Etheridge leaving then.
Or Brian Murphy.
We need three goalies so I take it that Murphy not having a new contract is the one going!
Glad Vaulks has finally signed and Joe Day has been superb for Newport last 2 seasons. Don't know much about Nelson.
I don't think Day is coming here to be 3rd choice. Just my gut feeling.
He's only signed a 2 year deal, so coming here to not even get the chance to get splinters in his arse seems a bit odd.
Was my thinking too.
I did read that someone (Brum?) was interested in Smithies on loan.
Maybe with a recall clause we could operate with two keepers.
Day won't have come here to be third choice, he could of gone to a few other teams to be a number two or even a starter. Perhaps Smithies has been told to hold on to see what happens with Etheridge before moving on?
Happy to see Vaulks confirmed. So that's Vaulks , Ralls, Bacuna, and one more. competing for the two Centre Midfield positions ?
Little doubt either Etheridge or Smithies on way out.
I see that the 'soothsayers' are out in force today. 'Woe is me, woe is me, we've signed three new players but now another three are bound to leave'. How anyone can take a positive day like this, when three new signings are announced and turn it into a negative, is beyond me. I really dont know why you all bother getting up in the morning.
Vaulks is Gunners replacement, I think Warnock has signed him as a starter with Ralls!!
The signing of Nelson will surely mean that Connolly will be leaving, as we already have Morrison, Manga and Bamba.
Vaulks will be an asset in an area we are short of players.
Day is a strange one, only played for Newport at League Two level the last few years. It must mean one of Etheridge, Smithies or Murphy will be leaving as we don't need 4 keepers. My money is on Smithties going with Day being the number 2.
Are they? All I see is a few people, rightly in my view, saying that one of Etheridge or Smithies will be going - that's not people being negative, just logistics and common sense, what is the point in bringing in Day as third choice?
Exactly Bob. I also think the best may be to come.
Yeah, I think Day is too good to be a 3rd choice keeper.
Either Etheridge leaves and Day is backing up Smithies, or Etheridge stays and then maybe Smithies goes out on loan to get some first team football.
Either way these seems like 3 decent signings.
Didn't Warnock say that all signings will be first team players ? Hmm
