The former Doncaster Rovers boss seemed confident there would be further signings made in the coming days.
He said: “Close, to me, means when they get signed on a piece of paper.
“Because they are not signed, as far as I’m concerned we are still a million miles away. We will wait.
“We are working extremely hard to try and get bodies in. Will there be bodies in for the Charlton game? I am hopeful there might be. If not then we’ll get on and move on, but we will wait and see.
“I won’t give you a definite number, but we’ll see how we go over the next few weeks.”
