If we are looking for more revenue we could stream the Devante Cole , Steve Waggot negotiations

Drameh has been offered a contract by Leeds so he would cost compo cos of that if he rejected the contract offer. 

Jackson mentioned Tom Cannon, Tyrese Campbell and Joe Taylor. I would deffo take Cannon on loan and I have mentioned in the past both Campbell and Taylor. 

For an experience Keeper I would go for Coventry keeper Ben Wilson, 31 years old. 

 

Why would you want that cheating scumbag here?

good experience keeper at this level

So many issues to resolve this summer:

New No.1 keeper

Sell Dolan (if he won't sign a new contract)

Sell Gallagher 

Sell Hyam (if he won't sign a new contract)

Sell Sigurdsson (if he won't sign a new contract)

Likely to lose Szmodics 

Do we retain Fadz?

Do we sell Buckley?

Can we sell Markanday?

All those plus new signings we need and any replacements we need to make. 

Big summer and on top of that we are gutting the recruitment/scouting department.

If we are looking to bring back any of the loanees we had last year the conversation should start and end with James Hill. The only loanee who added real quality rather than just padded out the squad.

Ayari and Chrisene would see a lot of minutes in this current squad - we'd be excited about them if they were our players. 

[joey_big_nose]

Every year I say pretty much the same thing.... Any club with limited resources will struggle to sign any more than four players that go straight into the first team squad and three loans. Its not impossible to do more than that, but its rare....

So given we probably need seven signings just to fill out the squad from where we are now i cant really see us selling anyone whose had decent first team minutes (except Szmodics as we will get an offer too good to refuse).

Agree with Chrisene to a point, but I think Pickering would still be above him in the pecking order and Georgie Gent will probably be around the first team squad. Disagree on Ayari, he saw very limited minutes in this current squad and we now have Travis back who’d be way ahead of him.

The first thing you've put there is the top priority to me, as I assume it is to you. And yet I heavily suspect we won't try to get a new number one keeper.

The rest...well, I think it's too much to pull off for a dysfunctional club constantly strangled by the owners, still undergoing wholesale changes to our recruitment and scouting department as you mention. Whatever people think of Broughton, we finally got on with contract renewals when he came in. Now it's back to the Waggott model, I expect us to fuck those up. Currently, I'm also still expecting us to go down next season, which has been my view since around March. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Very different players, depends what the manager wants to do. And Ayari has already said the manager wants him to come back. Whether he'll be seen as a squad player or a regular is another matter.

I couldn't understand why Ayari didn't play more last season - he looked useful any time he got on, always looking to be positive and playing with some aggression (something we lacked last year). 

Chrisene is a much better athlete than Pickering - I'd play him before I played Harry.

Cannon would be loan. They paid 8m for him. 

Quality striker cost money. Depends how much we got to spend. I wouldn't Connolly or Campbell on a free as one of 2 striker signings we need

Who would like us to sign depends on whatever budget you think we got or heard we got?

 

Why are you asking people what theyve heard about the budget. Only 2 days ago you were insistent that we do have a decent budget as theres no way the LT would suggest it without club approval.

Hyam I'd be driving myself happily wherever he wanted. Not good enough.

We have 2 senior fit centre backs. Unless someone tempts us with decent money which they wont, we need him and one or two more.

Im not his biggest fan but hes not as bad as you seem keen to suggest. Had a good season and a poor and injury interrupted second season.

Pretty much. He's a good Championship CB, but he's soft.

Agreed.

He's a decent GK at this level and considerably better than Pears, but I'm not I could get past the blatant cheating - followed by the gloating afterwards.

Bell end.
