Would much rather us go for Mikey Johnston from WBA to be honest!

Interesting that Swift has been released. I wonder if he was a recruitment team target, or a Robins target previously.

Johnston is still under contract and they paid £3m for him last summer? Do people have no idea of context?

Swift isn’t a progression anymore. Although saying that for a free an he may live locally. I’ve seen worse frees. Wages dependant

I am quite aware of that, my comment was in a response to the idea of going for Diangana, and that Johnston would be the pick from WBA. Not that I for a minute think we would try and buy him.

Ok, but that's the point. I wouldn't pay a fee for either of them, but Diangana on a free to add depth sounds interesting to me.

Johnston only got one more goal involvement than him despite playing significantly more mins this season also.

Agreed, I don't think he would add much to the squad. It is Lewis O'Brien I want us to go for, especially if Sheaf goes. I expect O'Brien will be snapped up by another club soon though, a few have been linked already.

We won 18 points from our first 18 games. If we had averaged 2 points a game from those games we would have finished on 87 points which would have been 13 points off automatics. That suggests we need a couple of quality signings rather than the major surgery that some want. We are desperate for a mobile attacking midfielder who drives at defences to create space for the likes of Rudoni or an attacker to get shots off earlier and maybe a defender in the Doyle mould. Besides that we have youngsters that need to have a path to the first team as we are not made of money. Luke Bell can cover for Wilson until Dovin is fit again for instance, I think the loan market will be utilised if the quality isn't available in permanent deals.

O'Brien's wages would pose a problem. I'd imagine he'll be bought by one of the teams coming down.

He us on 35,000 a week with a year left, no chance he moves on perm and even on loan its a hefty fee.Good player and would help us but i think he is out of reach.

Forest will likely want him moved on permanently if they can help it.

Swansea were paying the majority of his contract, so shouldn't be too much trouble for a team coming down from the PL

That 87 points is roughly the same a Lampard would have got had he been here at the start.
