With Knight at Bristol already , can’t we compete with them ? James Collins got 3 goals in 26 games the last time he was in the Championship. A good striker will not be cheap.

Bob Hoskins, the deceased actor? Or Sam Hoskins, the 31 year old attacker who has scored more than 3 goals in a League 1 season only twice in his career?

Ghost of Clough Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I'm going to assume promotion for this and we'll go with a 3412/3421... Loans for: Evans, Rooney, Fornah, Radcliffe, Weston Extensions for: Forsyth (backup and in-game coaching for U21s), Sibley, Thompson and DRobinson Meaning we retain the following squad: GK: Vickers RCB: Nelson, Nyambe CB: Bradley, Forsyth LCB: Cashin RWB: Ward, Wilson LWB: Sibley, Elder DM: - CM: LThompson, DRobinson RW: - LW: Mendez-Laing, Blackett-Taylor CF: Washington, DBrown In my squad, that would leave gaps at GK(x2), CB, LWB, DM(x2), CM, RW(x2), CF(x2) - 11 signings GK, 1st choice - Chris Walton (free, Ipswich) GK, 3rd choice - John Ruddy (free, Birmingham) May want to go somewhere he will get game time which would rule us out. He's at the age where he should be stepping back, and he wouldn't have to move too far if he were to join us. CB, 1st choice - Sam Stubbs (free, Bradford). A risky option, but he's still only 25, dominant in the air, and a good defender. He is slow so could struggle with stepping up a couple of divisions. Saying that, I thought he played very well in his game against us in the EFL Trophy. LWB, rotation - Sam McCallum (free, Norwich) DM, 1st choice - Ebou Adams (£?). Makes our team click without doing anything fancy. Difficult to say what Cardiff would want for him. DM, 2nd choice - Nohan Kenneh (£?, Hibs). He would often train with the first team at Leeds under Bielsa, so you know the type of player he is. A 21 year old version of Adams. CM, 1st choice - Herbie Kane (free, Barnsley). Would take over from Hourihane as the main set-piece taker. RW, rotation - Tyrhys Dolan (compensation, Blackburn). Versitile, coming through as a winger at Blackburn before moving more central this season. The type of player you need in a squad to give the flexibility between formations depending on opposition and injuries within the squad. RW, rotation - Femi Azeez (compensation, Reading). One of the best wingers in the league, with a high goal contribution output. Will be in high demand, so an unlikely signing. CF, 1st choice - Harry Leonard (loan, Blackburn). A good all-round forward who creates as well as scores. We were apparently close to signing him in January, so I can see us going back in for him in the summer. CF, 2nd choice - John McAtee (loan, Luton). More of a #10, but is another hard worker and one of the more creative CFs in L1. A final squad of: GK: Walton, Vickers, Ruddy RCB: Nelson, Nyambe CB: Stubbs, Bradley, Forsyth LCB: Cashin RWB: Ward, Wilson LWB: McCallum, Sibley, Elder DM: Adams, Kenneh CM: Kane, LThompson, DRobinson RW: Dolan, Azeez LW: Mendez-Laing, Blackett-Taylor CF: Leonard, McAtee, Washington, DBrown Caerphilly Ram, Dean (hick) Saunders, sage and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alram Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 a lot of suggestions from the lower leagues and youthful players but can anyone really see it? everything about our recruitment under clowes will suggest its going to be 28-32 year old championship experienced players with the fee going on wages instead of buying the player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldben Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Leonard - Portsmouth, Preston North End, Cardiff City and Plymouth Argyle linked with him. I'm recommending Beni Baningime, Connor Barron and Jensen Weir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyAleMan Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 On my shopping list is Adams, he has been excellent since arriving, if we had him at the start of the season , promotion would have been done and dusted by now. And what a goal today. Chester40, Premier ram, Anag Ram and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Another player we faced, was their number 7 today. No matter what Div we are in next season that I’d like us to make a move for is George Byers. With better players around him he could be dangerous. He found tons of space in amongst our midfield today. Very impressed by him from the first 10mins onwards 👍🏻🐏 Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
