If Warne wants to play his beloved back 3, I could see Bielik in the middle playing almost like the old fashioned sweeper. He's not athletic or robust enough to be in a PW midfield.

But on the money he must be on, we have to shift him. Anything close to £2m has to be taken. 

He doesn’t want to play in this league.

He’s off to Wrexham is the general consensus down there. He wants to move back nearer to family. He’s been a key player for them since he arrived. 

Ahh Wrexham.  I can see why a player who's a regular in a team just promoted from League 1 would go and play for a team just promoted from non league. The new Notts County for League 2. That's going to end well.

It’ll clearly be a busy summer for us, main focus needs to be defenders and attackers. Whilst I don’t think our midfield has been brilliant this season, I think we’ve been hindered by a lack of real balance/depth in other areas. Maybe one more midfielder to add more energy wouldn’t go amiss.

From some of the good suggestions on this thread, and the expiring contracts list I think if we could attract some of the following then we’d have a good chance next year.

GK - Expect McGee will sign as a back-up and Loach as experienced third choice. That would be this area sorted.

LWB - Ryan Manning, Callum Elder

RWB - Sam Byram, Danny McNamara, Matthew Olosunde

CB - Sonny Bradley, Haydon Roberts, Tomas Kalas, Joel Latibeaudiere

CM - Lewis Wing, Josh Onomah, Ben Osborn, Ben Wiles

CF - Think this is the hardest area to recruit for free, everyone wants a striker. Think we may need to dip into the loan market or “modest fee” area to strengthen here.

We should 100% be looking at Jensen Weir, Morecambes best player in a lot of their fans opinion and 10G + 5A from midfield is something we need more of since Knight Sibley and Bird combined for only 6 goals this season. Also Brighton scouts liked the look of him when he was 18 which is always a good sign.

We should be looking for a speedy midfielder too, good at preventing opposition attacks. A Jensen Interceptor perhaps.

There's a chance we may only line up with 2 CMs, like we did for the last few games of the season. I can't see us signing another CM without selling at least a couple of Bird, Knight, Hourihane, Sibley, Smith and Tommo.

I think we could move to 3 in the middle, Also very likely that Knight moves on and Sibley stays out wide whether that's LWB or LW, Don't think Warne fancies Thompson either.

I wonder what’ll be next for Liam Delap now, went from having Southampton interested in a £15mil move, to scoring 4 goals in 36 league games in the Championship.

He’s just been called up for the U20 World Cup so that might reignite some form, if not maybe a season on familiar territory in League 1 might do him some good…

Good shout. We are all talking about Automatic- that means 90 odd points and 90 odd goals. We need 6 players to score 10 and one to score 20. Don’t think Bird will get to 10 in his career. Warne knows , players in-coming soon.

He's had a terrible year by all accounts, still I expect Championship clubs to be interested next season. 

Great chance to get him for the season in the third division at a much cheaper cost base - we need a big lump who can actually run - he would find his scoring boots with the chances he would get here - Stoke and Preston are not known to play any actual football
