Summer transfer suggestion thread

Ferdy Druijf from Rapid Vienna for a centre-forward option...

Tall, strong, good in the air, relatively quick... had a rough season in Austria so was loaned back out to PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie where he was doing well before getting injured in Jan. Should be back fit in the summer though.

Weimann leaving Bristol City on a free, 32 years old so maybe not the age profile we want but plenty of champ experience and still close with the likes of Fozzy I believe….an option for the forward positions? 
Or a case of too old, on the wane, and “never go back”..?

I think I’d want to see if he still has the pace and energy that was so much of his game. Not against it in anyway but as you say it’s the age profile thing.

I’ve obviously never heard of him so I checked out his stats. 
 

Without seeing him play, it’s difficult to form an opinion of how well he was doing at Zwolle given his injury (out for the season in January it looks like). His scoring stats look decent on the face of it (5 goals in 15 games) but three of those came in a single game against a team subsequently relegated meaning, he only scored 2 in his other 14 appearances.

Hoping we get our business done early and warne gets a good pre season with most of the squad sorted!! 🐏🐏🐏

That would obviously be the ideal scenario but I do wonder if the better players (hopefully that’s where we’re looking) attract more interest and may take a little longer to sign up  unless the club is prepared to see off any competition with a crazy bid (and wages offer) especially if their agents are doing there job properly.

Time for patience me thinks.

Personally these would be the first players I’d sign or go after. I think we need the following:

x1 GK

x1 LB

x1 CB

x1 CDM

x2 CM

x1 W on right 

x2 CF 

plus 

 

re sign 

Sibley 

Thompson 

wildsmith 

Barks 

Collins 

Ebou 

Johansson- GK - Rotherham- played under Warne very good goalie if Wildsmith leaves 

Helik - Huddersfield  CB 9 goals from CB

Sorba Thomas - Huddersfield 9 assists 4 goals W 

Burrows - Peterborough Free LB 

Randall - Peterborough 10 goals and 7 assists CM - fee 

Kane - Barnsley CM - free 9 goals 5 assists 

Campbell - Stoke Free CF - still only 24 could rebuild career here 

Langstaff - Notts County CF  fee I’d imagine anywhere between £700k- 1.5M might be out of budget but definitely has potential

So you say you would keep Wildsmith as well as sign Johansson even though we have Vickers? That would be pretty much 3 1st choice GKs, no point in that at all.

We'll deffo need some goal scoring CMs to help chip in throughout the season Bird and Hourihane had 11 between them this year. A goal scoring CB like mentioned would be great too especially if we can continue our good set plays into the champ.

Probably suggested earlier. Can we buy (or loan if not) young striker Louie Barry who's been on loan at Stockport from Villa? 

Formerly on Barcelona's books! 

Always liked him mention him before loan please

For a top 6 side, I would expect Wildsmith to be 2nd choice and Vickers 3rd.

Saying that, I wouldn't expect us go into our 1st season in the Championship with someone like Vickers as 3rd choice. We would be better off using those funds for outfield positions. Vickers remaining as 2nd GK.

Ronan Curtis

Josh Knight

Jordan Williams

Alan Browne

Oliver Norwood

Ronan Curtis isn’t championship level, the rest of the players you mentioned would all be good options.

I think that we will need at least one dead ball specialist to replace CH.

Sibley did a pretty good job from corners.
