I know we have slim pickings but we need forward planning not chasing short term result with a team full of 35 year olds we will get found out very quickly if that’s the case as younger more athletic teams trump us and just feels a relief to be moaning about football We can't - the EFL business plan has maximum individual wage limits in it, as well as an overall limit.

DCFC1388 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Im sure McGoldrick was linked with Boro joinung back up with Wilder. McDonald would be a decent short term replacement for Bielik, would add height, experience, decent passer, bit of a nasty side to hin too.

People moaning about 31 year old Conor Hourihane because he’s too old? Some people to wake up and smell the coffee. These would be great signings for any league one club. Just because we’re having to bring in frees with experience doesn’t mean we can’t sign some good young loanees ☝️ This! Chester, Hourihane, Barkhuizen, one of Huddz/Johnson and an experienced CF would be amazing for L1. We had a very young squad last season and I'd say around 6 of the signings we're on about bringing in need to be experienced. Complement this with finding some youngsters let go by bigger teams and we'll be on our way to building something competitive. The only thing I'm slightly concerned about is the amount of CMs north of 30 we're being linked with when CM is probably the position where we're least in need of loads of reinforcements! We've already got Bird, Tommo, Knight, Sibley and Bielik (although, admittedly, the latter might be off on loan to a Championship team soon).

We've already got Bird, Tommo, Knight, Sibley and Bielik (although, admittedly, the latter might be off on loan to a Championship team soon). Actual CM for a 2 we have 2 players in Bird & Bielik, Bielik is likely to go and if Thompson renews that will be 2 young CDMs, we ideally need 4 players for that position. Not sure where Knight fits into a 4231 if we stick with that, can see him being sold if a good enough bid comes in. Sibley can play anywhere in the 3 behind a front man and is currently the only first team player we have there, fully expect about 5 attacking mids/wingers to come in....Hourihane, Barkhuizen & NML have already been linked.

Johnson and Huddlestone are both at the end of their careers now. They won’t be on anywhere near as much as they were last time they were here. Doubt either would be asking for more than 10k a week, which I’m sure our business plan would allow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, my question about huds is how much does he want a scrap in league 1… a player with his ability has been sat around without a club for how long now? i wouldnt touch either quite honestly, was never a fan of johnsons anyhow. Rather see liam thompson or a n other young hungry lower league lad be given a chance i do worry we’re going to go from one extreme of young hungry inexperienced kids to a side of has been journeymen. hope we can hit a balance… i realise for the next year or two though its get what we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but paying over £1m a year for two players? Wouldn’t that scoop up a fifth of our likely season ticket money? RoyMac5 and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
