Always a bit wary of getting players from Scotland and the standard up there.

Wasn’t someone saying we’re going to sign a big bloke from the French league?

I'd look at following players if strikers/midfielders.....
Bishop at Portsmouth 20gls 4ast.
Nombe at Exeter 15gls 7ast.
Brown at Exeter 9 gls 12 ast.
May at Cheltenham 20gls 3 ast.
Rak-Sakyi Charlton 15gls 8ast.

Brown at Exeter has a dodgy courtcase pending in the summer I think. Avoid

Cov Telegraph saying we are interested in Killian Phillips from Crystal Palace was on loan at Shrewsbury this season, a midfielder can also play centre half, never heard of him to be honest

Liam Delap on loan, can see him being an option, think Man City will be happy to see younger players come here to develop. Think he could be 1 of 2 or 3 strikers to come in.

He is really bad, at least every time I have seen delay he has sucked so bad, would prefer that young lad from Leeds that Sunderland had over delap.

Was dreadful for Stoke, wouldn't be in a rush to sign him.

No one can replace Vik . And MR needs to sign someone who we can easily make a song for

There was a lad at Celtic called Giakoumis who scored 20 in 40 games currently playing in America think he’s got 8 in 11 games . Always rated him to be fair

Wasn't brilliant at Preston, but Gyok wasn't great at Swansea, I'd give anyone the benefit of the doubt under Robins

Im happy to trust MR who will be bringing in players and i have no doubt some will be head scratchers and some will be not known to us. But its a process that he has and now with our profile being higher our club being more stable we will be able to attract a higher quality of player than before.

I want us to get more pace in our wing backs and go with multiple different options in player attributes up top. We need COH and Palmer fit and try to bring find a couple of decent CBs. From that we go again and try to go one step further. Big changes but i see no reason why outcomes cant be the same.

As has been mentioned, it’s intriguing whether we’ll go with the same/similar formation again next year given we’ve got pretty much a clean slate. I like it but agree that we need more attacking contribution from our wing backs. Think that stems from having a reliable back 3 and keeper - almost feels at times like we’re covering their flaws.

How about Sory Kaba? Spent the 2nd half of last season at Cardiff and seemed pretty impressive to me.

Like Bradshaw at Millwall 31 but knows where the back of the net is.

He carried quite a bit of promise but two loan spells at Stoke and PNE have left their fans questioning what the hype is about. I haven't seen much personally but just speaking to fans of those clubs and he was disappointing to say the least.

Our wing backs get high up but I wish they'd attack the far post more for crosses, especially BNC

Knowing it and hitting it are 2 different things.
Just ask Waghorn, Walker or Dabo

Time to cherry pick from the lower leagues or relegated sides, or ex Chelsea youth players

Would look at Georges Mikautadze if Metz don't go up. Although unlikely they won't

Looks a real talent, I'm sure loads of scouts will have gone to watch him. Not a 1for1 Vik replacement stylewise but some of those finishes are quite Vik like. Low and hard on the run whilst being chased by a defender.

Would be a great buy

If they're second tier wouldn't qualify for a work permit.

Looks like the style of player we should be looking at though as a Vik replacement.
