Thinking about it - Bidwell, Lati, Gyökeres, Grimes, Rushworth - all ex-Swansea to one degree or another. Maybe signing Tymon, Vipotnik and Cabango wouldn't be such a bad idea!

Tats doesn't have pace to burn but he makes up for a bit of that in trickery. He won't get the living shit battered out of him every week in the prem either. We will need another right winger to push him but I think he'll be ok. Share you concerns about EMC but happy to be proved wrong of course. Personally think Haji might be our left winger in the prem and someone else comes in up top.

Haji hasn’t really got that trickery or cross in him that EMC does.

Hes a striker but just a hot and cold one

Sign Monga, a hugely talented Coventry kid Leicester snatched from us when we were at a low-ebb, for basically nothing. He is due to sign his first professional contract in July, even though he has played in the Premiership - come on home.

Make the statement that local talent now stays and grows with us. Sorry if it has been said already.

Just a pre warning,
We've been linked with Hamer again

Gustavo Hamer Transfer: Sensational Coventry City Return On Cards

Gustavo Hamer could be set for a sensational return to Coventry City. A former Coventry coach believes he could be tempted to return to the Premier League.

Not a statement but worth a punt?

I think he was available for about £5 million. If so, then absolutely. Worst case you have an excellent Championship player if you go down and you'll never lose money on that £5 million if you wanted to sell.

Doug abc Frank are united by ambition.

We won’t start with the team from last year but nor will we rip it up abc start again.

Rushworth ( hopefully )
Milan
Thomas
Grimes
Onyeka
Tats
Rudi

Will all play lots of minutes next season I’m sure ….

That's a weird autocorrect to change and to abc.

James Maddison.
We need a No. 10 to compete with Rudoni (or play with).
He'd need to take a wage cut, but I bet there's some desire from his side.
We'd be rolling the dice a little based on his latest injury, but he's played conistently over 30 games a season 2018-2025.
He's not Keith O'Neil.

And you suppose he would be happy earning 25% of his current £170k weekly wages?

His last 3 years have been blighted my injury …. The latest one is a huge injury …..

Over the years we've had a mixed bag of experienced signings but they've mostly been decent unless someone can find more examples of poor transfers.

Good Ronald Nilsson, Wise, Don Huchinson, Carlton Palmer, Gordon Strachan, Kenny Samson, Gary MacAllister, Gerry Francis, Cyrille Regis, Kevin Richardson, Steve Staunton. I'm sure there are many others.

Bad or disappointing Tim Sherwood, Yakubu , Martin Jol (didn't seem to get much game time, never saw him), Bob Latchford(ditto), Kenny Hibbitt(ditto), Terry Butcher (shit manager too), Colin Hendry, Dean Holdsworth, Craig Hignett.

His form is really weird. Scores 9 in 9 at the start of the season, then 13 without a goal, then 2 in 2 closely followed by 6 in 5.

Big issue is when he’s not scoring he’s barely involved - a real surprise for someone with his physical profile.

BBC have an article on Premier League Players out of contract this summer. Cant see that many would be of huge interest?

Which Premier League players are out of contract this summer?

With a World Cup summer fast approaching, BBC Sport looks at which Premier League stars may be looking for new clubs.

www.bbc.co.uk

I would realistically take:

Rico Henry
Mykolenko
Michael Keane
Ryan Sessegnon
Emil Krafth
Adama Traore

A few defenders there I know but we'll need to strengthen everywhere if we want to stay up!
