I’d say keep Kane at RB for now, get his sharpness up, and work on those crosses dude. Seriously.
Dabo as a backup, as he’s clearly crocked or unable to maintain match fitness. Or both.
Burroughs is still young and naive, so yes, Bidwell needs a backup.

CB wise, any idea about how the other Burroughs is coming along? Definitely need a capable CB in there to bind the back three.

Attacking midfielder is a definite necessity, as Palmer or Allen just don’t have what O’Hare provides the attack with.
Get a Striker on loan as backup for Vik, and I feel like we need another option in midfield besides Allen.

All this may not even transpire though, which is concerning. We may have to look at bringing a few kids in from the U21’s as backup.

Just so I’m up to speed (sorry about the double post) do we know of any semi-solid links to players that MR has been looking at?

Robins said he’s tried to sign Paterson a few times. Got to think he’s first on the list if the king takeover goes through

Whilst a good player he is 31 now, perhaps that ship has now sailed?

With O’Hare out for 9 months - he’d be worth a 2 year deal surely

Take Paterson on a Bidwell style free any day of the week

We need to fuck people off asap. Sod waiting until the summer. If we can find takers for Dabo, Kane, Walker, Waghorn, Bapaga, Kelly, get rid.

Bar Bapaga they're all gonna be on 10k a week or more and that can work wonders for us spent wisely

Just looked and Patterson has made just 12 appearances this season due to form and fitness issues. 469 minutes of football this season.

You can’t “get rid” until they are replaced or we are going to have a subs bench full of academy kids.

Of those only Waghorn would be on 10k

Can't see the others being near 10k, nevermind over it

Not that they don't need moving on

If we have to rely on loans/frees, have a look at Lee Buchanan (ex Derby, LB/LWB) at Werder Bremen, Omari Hutchison (AM) at Chelsea.

I do wonder whether Robins would sign someone like Hector/Bennett/Morrison as a CB option, I see Steven Caulker is a free now as well.

if by some miracle money is available.

Ayoub Assal (AM) from AFC Wimbledon, had a good record of assists and goals over the last season or so.

Max Bird (DM or CM) Derby, thought he played well against us last season, although not followed him this.

if we can get rid of some wages in Waghorn/Kelly/Walker then aim for more established players but can’t see them going before the end of the season.

We were linked quite strongly with Derby’s Louie Sibley in the summer seemed to peter out, possibly re. finances Derby doing well at the moment is he playing regular for them now. Linked with Buchanan too.

Sibley seems to be playing LWB. I think our interest was as a potential O'Hare replacement. Buchanan went to Werder Bremen I think. One O'Hare replacement option could be Elliot Anderson from Newcastle. I'm sure he will go somewhere on loan.

We will never know for sure but Kelly has had a rise and Walker was at a championship club that paid high wages

We know what Palmer was earning at Bristol (the club seemed happy to leak it) and that was £20 grand a week.

Why not?

Widely reported Waghorns on 15k

Kelly, again, new contracts, mainstay of a promotion winning side and helped keep us up first season, club captain, hell be 10K

Walker, as said above, came from a championship club, plus was signed as our main goalscorer furst season back up, will be around 10k

Kane, spent his career top/middle levels of the championship, no way hes on less than 10k, but probably not more

Pretty sure Dabo got a new contract on promotion, was one of our gems then also, probably 8 or 9k?

Bapaga, yea fair, cant see him being more than about 1k a week, same for Josh Reid

Hillsner, probably around 2k a week?

Dacosta, yes out on loan, but again you'd imagine a similar whack to Hillsner

That's a good 60 Grand a week were wasting on players who aren't good enough

Need to get the summer recruitment dead on
