Not too sure. Can understand the thinking.

How many games has he played this year and hows he performed?

Andy Robertson? He's rumoured to be heading to Celtic.

It wouldn’t surprise me either way if in 5 years time Esse is playing in the Premier League or League 1. He’s got all the talent on the ball, but the decision making just isn’t there. It’s why Glasner booted him to us and why Sakamoto is starting ahead of him.

I’d probably look elsewhere in the summer although it might be worth the gamble if the coaching team think they can improve him.

Thats some call! How dare you make an outrageous claim of him playing within one of the top 3 leagues in England. Should add Championship to your prediction too

Chilwell is a friend of FL and it was rumoured FL sees him as being part of the coaching team. I don't get this issue of not paying people, if we sign a player for 12 million and has a salary of 25,000 per week, why if the player comes for a few million, or even free, can't we sign them with a 50,000 a week deal? Wilder has always done that at Sheff Utd and apart from this season it has worked. I really think in some cases, like Chilwell, it is worth it especially as he can coach the defence.

Fairly obvious I would say. We have a strict pay structure in place (the ceiling will increase in the prem) and we don't want to raise the expectations of the rest of the squad.

Played more than you would think, started 4 of the last 6.

The wage budget would double for the Prem I'd imagine.

you’re so annoying

Not something you can say for every player though is it. Like I’d be surprised if KKH ends up in league 1 in 5 years.

I predict that KKH will either be in the Prem, Championship or L1 in 5 years.

Which is probably about right.

I’m not saying him specifically but someone like Jacob Murphy should be the type we look at

He's got potential, but I'd be concerned about an upper mid-table French side loaning him out rather than using him this year. If he's not ready for Ligue 1, he's probably not ready for the Premier League just yet.

I guess he probably is a potential one to look at given we're getting Onyeka if we're promoted. Wouldn't be a requirement to play every minute of every game.

Based on 5 or 6 first team signings, what would we go for?

GK
LB
CB
CM (Onyeka)
RW
ST

Then probably a couple of younger development players.

If that’s all we’re getting I’d rather get a decent CM than a slight upgrade at ST TBH. Though even then I think if that’s all we get we go down with a record low point tally.

Rushworth
Chilwell
Hughes
Onyeka
Murphy
Denkey

Would be a good mix of experience, youth, and surprise.
