GK - Dovin / New GK / Wilson
RB - van Ewijk / New RB
RCB - Thomas / New CB / Lati
LCB - Kitching / Binks
LB - New LB / Dasilva
CDM - Grimes / New DM / Eccles / Torp
RW - Sakamoto / New RW
CAM - Rudoni / New AM
LW - Mason-Clark / New LW
ST - New ST / Asante / Bassette

9 signings but most would be replacing squad players minus ST, DM, LB

GK - Free
RB - Young future Milan replacement
RCB - Free (Darling or Dunne please)
LB - Miguel Angel Brau
CDM - Sheaf replacement (he will want to go to PL if not then probably dont need a DM)
RW - Free (Dolan or Diangana)
CAM - Someone like Aasgaard who can play as an 8 too
LW - backup to Ephron to replace him in the future
ST - Marquee signing most of budget here if Wright goes if not then dont need a ST

For a team that wants to be at the top that forward line looks light. We need 4 strikers, ideally with one who can also cover the wing.

4 strikers for 1 position? I’d have thought 3 would be enough and maybe Obikwu on a loan to L1 with chance to recall in Jan if we’re struggling with injuries, and if he’s not ripping up trees sign one in Jan if 3 isnt enough. Also with 2 options either wing we wouldnt need a Striker to cover there

Okay this is how I’d play it if in charge.

Sales: MVE, Collins, Sheaf, Bidwell, Simms, Lati.

Assume MVE is off for Kelser. Similarly Ange to come as LB

Keeley on a season long loan to help cover while Dovin recovers.

Dunne as a free option who can cover for Kesler, also offers an experienced head in defence. O’Brien to come in for Sheaf, Goorham as a more expensive target to cover and challenge Sakamoto and EMC.

Salech to come in as a option for Simms

Cant assume it’s realistic but would just be my targets.

This kid would be a cracking addition to our midfield, cam see him be worth alot of money in the future, technically really good on the ball, assure under pressure and has great technique

If he went to Newcastle he'll not be played, he'll just be a waste there like Leon Best and Bigirimana, Newcastle are chasing champions league football still I think, they will go out and buy top European midfielders for next season, big mistake for Rudi if he went, we cannot sell him under any circumstances, the team needs to be built around him.

I get the model sell for lots of money then reinvest, but there is certain players you can't sell because they are vital and he's one of them

He’s not ready for the Premiership yet. He needs one more development season and then deserves a shot.

Yes and hopefully it'll be with us in the prem after next year mate! Keep Rudi, Wright and hopefully Milan, add a few quality additions then we'd have a beast of a squad to go for promotion

, it was a strange season, can’t remember coming away from too many games thinking we look a really good side ? Just seemed to grind out results, hopefully a bit more quality next season and won’t be far off again

Tbf with Frank having a full summer window to mould the squad plus preseason we should be good to go for another good crack at promotion mate so I'm looking forward to seeing who comes in.

Take a look at Kristian Arnstad on YouTube, that kid will be unbelievable in our midfield, think he's add another dimension to the team, a trio of him/Grimes and Rudi would be class

if grimes is the level of player we’re signing should be a good summer, just hope we can tighten up at the back, def LB and another centre half, not getting too carried away like last season but got to fancy us for play offs again

No basis for this but I think we’ll be starting next season without all three.

Will need one probably two if Milan goes, definitely a LB and centre half maybe two depends on if Frank wants to keep Lats and Binks, if we got two CB's then one has to be a big shithouse type player, someone like Ballard

Well no, I hope not as well, but Milan & Rudoni just too good this season, will attract bids.

Mad to think Huddersfield fans though they ripped us off buying him lol goes to show just because a player is in a poor team doesn't mean he's a poor player, Rudi was their best player! I do like Salech who's been mentioned alot best of a bad bunch, also like Colwill at Cardiff

Yeah, I like Colwill too. I think Cardiff fans would say he’s ‘hit and miss’ but he’s got bags of talent on his day. Maybe FL could get him playing consistently?
Salech is definitely not staying at Cardiff. Hes looked kinda terrifying!

More I think about it I think Jimmy Dunne would be a really smart signing. Gives us the improvement at CB and the RB cover in one.

No reason! I think Salech would give us a lot more aggression upfront. Colwill would be great cover for Rudoni.

Disagree, any player has their price and if you keep going for a few more additions without sales you end up doing a Derby.

All about getting your replacements correct like Brentford did with selling Watkins and buying Toney.

I understand that mate but certain players you must keep in my view and he's one regardless of the Brentford model, I just see Rudi as that important
