I like Rudoni at Huddersfield, though I'd imagine they'll want good money for him

Looks a good option as a new CAM.

Hope there's a relegation price drop!

Probably been said before but Szmodics and Whittaker will be looking for new clubs if Blackburn/Plymouth go down.

I like Rudoni and think Patino could be a player that would develop at the club. The other player i liked is Cullen from Swansea, not sure if he fits but busy player reminds me a bit of Connor Chaplin .

But im sure Robins has a long list of players that will suit any different situations we find ourselves in.

Really? Think a lower PL side or newly promoted side would take a punt on him

How about Jamie Vardy on a one year contract.
Assumes Leicester get promoted and we are still in Championship.

Eccles I would have as most improved player this season. Has always put 100% in only been on corners because he has been doing as he was told. Glad we have others taking them now. Couple of moaners Ned us were always on his back have now stopped moaning about him.

He’s a one season wonder like Akpom was last season. Been an average championship player a majority of the time. Plus he’s 29 years old so can’t see a premier league club being interested

Also paying £5m for L1 players really sticks in my throat. We sold Maddison and Wilson for £3M

Those sales were in the Dark days of ‘need to get some £ to pay ourselves some interest’ DK is a business man will only sell if the right price is met and will reinvest in the squad. This may change in the future but from what he’s done so far…:

Free agent in the summer and 37 years old and has 1 season left at Championship level. Lives locally and maybe already approached.

Liam Cullen on a free would be great business as striker depth. Still fairly young and knows the division well. Can fill in all across the front line. Played with Bidwell and Lati already.

Spend a fortune in wages on a one year contract for a geriatric, that really fits in with King’s business model…

I’d love a year of Vardy if the wages aren’t crazy. He’s a proper bastard and would be an upgrade on Godden.

Can't see it. Surely he could go sun himself in the MLS or some such league on decent money.

Probably end up in one of the Arab leagues they pay stupid money. We’re not desperate going for him would be a Sheffield utd type move

Excited for this summer. We got mason Clark come in already

Option it seems on one of pboros other stars.

Other than that we prob only need like 3-4 out and 3 or 4 in.

CN really focus on quality as most of squad is set for near future.

Hopefully no one comes on for sheaf.

Like last year I assume we have two lists of targets. One for championship and one for prem

Rumours Sheaf is off. If so I’d expect £15m or so for him. Plus maybe Vik going for another £6-8m. Could be another busy summer. Would need CB, RB, CM x 2, AM, ST, RW before you got to any upgrades.

Well looks like we would have money to utilise again

And we would be upgrading on those leaving anyway. Don't need to upgrade on the new signings! Just let them develop

Out I would be looking at

Godden
Allen
Tavares
Moore

O hare unfortunately likely to go too

So 4-5 incomings I would be more than happy with

Think we need a touch more depth. If Burroughs, Howley and Obikwu progress maybe they can fill in, but really we’ve got Lats covering three positions, and we’re light on options up front. I think we need 25 players minimum over a season.

Collins/Wilson
MvE/RB
Thomas/Lats
Kitching/CB
Bidwell/Dasilva
Sheaf/Eccles
Torp/CM
O’Hare/Palmer
Saka/RW
Simms/ST
Wright/EMC

Plus 3 of: Allen, Tavares, Howley, Burroughs, Obikwu, any other kids that progress.

That’s 5 short, plus O’Hare and maybe Sheaf.

Robins has previously complained about the lack of bodies, so I would expect a net squad growth. I would think 6 more to come in, given the expected outgoings.
Three I would personally like to see would be Duk and Miovski at Aberdeen, and that Bergzorg who is currently on loan at Huddersfield
I would keep Tavares, as I think he could be useful when playing in a front 2

Not sure if it’s been suggested, but perhaps the club have been aware of Sheaf’s potential to be leaving, hence the signing of Torp - and probably (tenuously at this stage) the link with the lad Kypriannou (spelling?) from Peterborough.

Is there any actual substance to the Sheaf/departure story? Aside from the usual ‘my mate Daz told me down the Rose and Crown, he’s Robbings’s handyman. Trust me bro’ scenario.

I get the impression that we are building around Sheaf (making him captain etc) so personally I would expect him to stay unless offered silly money of course.
