When you see the top goal scorers at this level last season, it really could be anyone. Will Keane and a guy with a modest record in Scotland’s second division were the top goalscorers last season.

Assuming we're still interested in players that we've been linked with before (and rumours of up to 10 new signings coming through the doors coming to fruition) the squad could look a bit like this: GK: NEW, Wildsmith, Foulkes RB: Byrne (or NEW if he leaves), Bardell CB: Chester, Stearman, Davies, Cashin LB: Buchanan (or NEW if he leaves), Forsyth CM/DM: Bird, Robinson, Hourihane, Thompson RM: Barkhuizen, Richards AM: Knight, Sibley LM: Lawrence (yes, very unlikely, I know!), Mendez-Laing ST: Collins, Niasse, Kazim-Richards, Cybulski, Stretton Not bad! Well this is what other clubs’ fans are on about. We’ve got no debt and no points deduction and most likely a strong squad that should bring us straight back up. Of course they forget that we’ve been relegated, been through 18 months of hell and have been forced to haemorrhage home grown talent. And that our greatest strength now is our fan base , and how can they object to that ... Edited July 2, 2022 by kevinhectoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard nothing concrete Nor me, but in Tom’s shoes if another company is knocking on your door offering to double the salary than your current employer can offer and give you a large signing on fee and a 3 year deal what would you do ? Then there’s Knight Bird Sibley. That’s going to be challenging. You never know. The next 7/10 days are going to tell us a lot.

Bris Vegas Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) If we start the season with a midfield of Bielik, Bird and Knight for options we should be fine. Hopefully Sibley gets a run in League One and really shows his potential. Buchanan and Byrne as fullbacks will be one of the strongest in the league. Cashin will be top quality too. We needed new wide players and in Bark and Mendez-Laing they are hopefully hungry enough to prove a point. I’d still be looking to strengthen this area and upfront too. But we have a base now. League One is a funny league. Ipswich were disappointing last season yet still hit 70 points. It’s almost a league of two with former PL/Champ clubs like Bolton, Ipswich, Sheff Wed, Barnsley, Charlton and then a bunch of much smaller clubs like Fleetwood, Morecombe, Accrington. Our current best XI is easily top half standard in League One. Assuming we bulk out the squad, anything less than 70 points would be disappointing in my eyes.

CBRammette Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Pleasantly surprised at the speed these signings are moving. Perhaps thats what Q were predicting not CK's deal. So very very pleased Cashin and Thompson have signed contracts as says a lot about how they are being advised. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 If we somehow could afford to sign Chester and Stearman, wouldn’t that be great?! Chester-Davies-Cashin covered by Stearman and Forsyth is easily championship level back-three. With the first choices, even top half. Fingers crossed that we get Chester, for me that would be the biggest coup. LeedsCityRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Great start to the rebuild last night. Twitter last night felt like Christmas morning! Really pleased to see Cashin & Thompson staying. Both showed such maturity & talent when they got into the first team mid season & would have been gutted to see them go too. There will be spells of indifferent form but I think regular football at this level will see both develop into important first team players. Important also to keep the core of Academy graduates whilst we bring in a lot of new faces, need as much continuity as possible to avoid a disjointed team. Three good signings too. Wildsmith looks a good shotstopper, am hoping he's also decent with the ball at his feet & like his ambition to finally break from his boyhood club. Barkhuizen & Mendez-Laing have always had quality about them...very different players but really strong options on the wing. Strong rumours that Curtis, Kazim & Stearman have already signed (brilliant news if true) & that we're in for another evening of announcements. Of the rumoured new players, Chester would be a really good signing & whilst far from Johnson's biggest fan, he would offer the physicality we will need at this level. Still would be astonished if Hourihane signed, am sure there are top half Championship clubs who would happily take him. Either way, am loving the anticipation of further news!
