I'm led to believe it's another striker, 2 x '10s' and another midfielder. Currently no thoughts of loaning Rooney out. 

Smith/godden  free / around £200-250k

Brannagan £750k-1m

collins /Saki £1m/ loan 

I’d sell Sibley and Barkhuizen and loan Rooney , if it generates at least 750k combined I’d take that . Neither are good enough 

I came across the horrific news that Southend United might be gone within 24 hours having gone through the horrific time ourselves I pray for their fans! It’s horrendous I’ve had to come across their supporters social media posts to find this out

But I imagine that budget still requires David Clowes to put his hands in his pockets. So therefore - yes we shall be able to spend some of it but I wouldn't imagine all of it.

Also - I wouldn't be surprised if the incoming fees was spread out over 2 or even 3 year payment schemes.

I agree for example this is unlikely but hypothetically speaking we sign Clarke Harris on a 3 year deal it would probably be £750k + extra 500k -750k on appearances or goals then maybe £1m if we get promoted.

they can quote £3-5m realistically he’s £2m tops 

Well from the sound of things 

Paul Warne = says who he wants or positions he wants 

then head of recruitment + scouts find the players 

Stephen Pearce - negotiates the contracts

Brilliant signing, on a free a year after being League 2 player of fhe year. Provides cover/competition to both wing back positions.

7 really good signings for this level with no transfer fee spent, time to get a firat choice forward in to show our intent. Defensively we look solid now, maybe a CB short if we decide to send Rooney out on loan.

Tbh I’d also get flint in as well if we’re playing three at the back.

strikers id like to go after now 

nombe

smith 

Collins Bristol R

Godden 

if we sell cashin 

JCH / Langstaff 

plus Frankie Kent at Peterborough

Two biggest takeaways, having a manager out with you running at 7am, you'll want to run through brickwalls for that type of manager.

Collins is looking in great shape really big season for him!

I remember the bielsa Leeds team they had so much energy. If this team could do that I think we’d be very successful this season

You can look at this in two ways , one he’s extremely loyal or he’s taken a safe option and has no ambition

I seem to remember that he 'earns' quite a few penalties.

Through diving tbh as a club we’re too nice I’d actually applaud having a few nastier /sly players in our team

With the team being away in Spain will this mean no signings until PW is back ?

 

Not necessarily Knight was signed by their technical director who stayed behind

I can see Brannigan costing a bit more than that. 2 years left and he’s arguably their best player. Probably looking more at 2m just for him 

Tbh 

250k for Wilson 

£300k + add ons godden 

£750k-900k rising to £2m on add ons 

I fully expect that money to be used on Brannagan and Coventry striker + loan winger/fw

Think we would want a bit more for Sibbo and a sell on clause…

Realistic numbers I’m afraid hasn’t pushed on , not an international either 

I reckon £1m + Ladapo + £500k on add ins + 15% sell on he’s gone.

as for sibley £300-400 k he’s gone 

Just been looking at other clubs in our division most are signing free agents or loans no big money say £1m has been spent or received yet. Bar Alfie May (£250-275k) nothing more than slightly  over around £200,000. If we receive money for knight I’d imagine our top transfer may push £1m but I think it would be wiser to use the knight money on a loan fee or a non league potential

Absolutely no chance. Given the standard of officiating  we'll be lucky to get more than 2 penalties over the season.

7 last season 5 for mcgolderick 2 for Collins

Don’t want Flint. The ideal would be someone like Harding who can cover multiple positions. Although can’t imagine him accepting a squad role from starting in the championship. Fozzy is absolutely fine as cover too in this league.

Was that because we weren't playing to his strengths though and he just knew an overhit cross was about to come in. Watching his goals from Luton are lot of his goals are quick balls into feet one touch finishes, I think we'll see a lot more goals from him this season.

https://youtu.be/X7OR7Kklbao

He had to do all the hard work as the rest for drift with others doing the work I could see him getting 15-20 goals ( 5-10 pens)

Few things on twitter going around about Jack Vale being next through the door. 

Collins vale loan  Washington + Ladapo /nombe all different styles

Smith can go right wing back as well.

I think WB will be either LWB cover or RWB + CB cover

Not sure why everyone thinks Washington has been signed to solve our goal problems. 
 

He’s said in his interview his role is to get behind and stretch defenses, he even admits goal scoring is something he is working on. 
 

if he can see it, I’m sure Warne is going to be well aware is not going to be our 20 goal striker. Given we’ve spent nothing on fees so far, and will likely get a decent amount in for Knight, I’m pretty certain PW has a goal scoring striker in mind who will likely cost a decent fee. 

Judging from ex Warne players  these three come to mind 

Jonson Clarke Harris ( can’t see it unless we bid £2m + ) 

Freddie Ladapo ( maybe with knight money ) 

George Hirst ( was on loan )  was on loan at Ipswich last year don’t know how he did

I just hope they all run differently so I can tell them apart!

If I see Vickers running I’d have kittens and so would the rest of the defence 😂

Dont mind this signing at all, i can see him bringing the best out in Collins who imo is capable of getting 20+ goals, he got 11 in the league last season being a bit part player compared to McG or being the guy who lead the press, if someone else does the running (Washington) & allows Collins to be in the box more he has shown with some of his finishes last season that he knows where the back of the net is....thinking Pompey & Port Vale at home, MK Dons Way.

Anyway, back to Washington, people have said about him replacing McGoldricks goals but for me he would be coming in to replace Osula's goals, I still think we will bring in a 1st choice striker (Smith/Nombe/Ladapo/JCH)

Of those four I think it will be Ladapo and Nombe 

Only chance we have for CH is if we sell both knight and cashin if that was the case I’d hate for us to sell him, I think we’d be able to go for him or Langstaff plus Flint on a free. 
 

last choice Sam Smith on a free

We pay something if we go up. Don’t know how much. Dom Dietrich confirmed it. 

I’d imagine £150k roughly 

2 minutes ago, Srg said:

We need a permanent of a decent age now. Smith or Nombe probably the most obvious options, but could be someone we haven’t heard yet. 

Then try and get some flair in on loan, as that’s the type of player which costs a bit more than we likely have. 

Probably be the last signing of the window after knight goes I reckon a WB  on loan , CAM/FW on loan then sign a CF plus maybe CM on loan If knight goes
