Link above. Only first 2 pages really worth looking at and aside from some totally unrealistic players near the top, we're making some of the best moves possible in that market.

Looks like Leicester are about to save £300k a week in a month or so!
Like Mowatt from WBA on a free too.

@fernandopartridge and @Sky Blue Pete ... Alarmingly rapid responses about Sam McCallum's personal life!

Please can we sign a couple of players who can take corners or free kicks!

This was an awful season of set pieces!

He's always looked good to me when we've played them, I even specifically remarked as such either on here or IRL after the game up there. I think it's a reasonable question though about whether or not he's a material improvement.

Casting your mind back to the L1 and first championship seasons, how valuable were McFadz and Kelly? Their leadership and organisation alone was worth so much.

Looking around our team right now, who offers that? Sheaf and when he’s not available, you need that. Eccles is experienced beyond his years and its early days for Torp.

Browne gets more goals than both our current CMs and his assists are from open play. It’s something we need and we’re a team who score a lot more than PNE - apart from when we play against them…

We’re switching to 4-3-3 and if you have Rudoni and/or Browne in there, there’ll be driving the ball from deep.

Surprised all the linked players so far are from Championship though, expected us to get players from abroad again.

To be honest, even if we made the switch to a ‘flatter’ 433 I’d still want an AM in the squad to change the dynamic of our play when required. Whether that’s Palmer, Rudoni or someone else is the interesting bit.

Fair point and guess I've been quite blind to the experience and know-how he has.

Making over £3m on McCallum. Having him back for 18 months then signing him on a free when he’s still only 22 is absolutely legendary business.

Weirdly although he played for us for a while I don’t think he’s played at the arena.

Same happened last season. Dasilva & Lati were first to be linked & signed - free transfers are easier to get done and are done early in the window.

Don't worry, we'll still be learning about a signing through a translated tweet from a Portuguese journalist. After the links in January to the Argentine winger, I'm holding out hopes for a South American wonderkid as well.

Good point, McCallum and Browne would make strong free agent signings. As for Dolan and Rudoni, I’d like to know potential fees involved for them and are they our ‘top targets’.

Exciting times!

Yeah I remember watching a couple of games there thinking why is Robins persisting with this kid at left back and Brandon Mason should be playing instead

He did look like he'd won a raffle to play, proof really you shouldn't be too hasty to judge a player.

The same Preston who finished just below us and gave us a proper tonking this season. The Preston who have troubled the play offs far more regularly than we have. That the Preston you mean?

Think we do need both if we want the option of going 4-3-3. Would leave us with:

Sheaf/Kyp
Browne/Eccles
Torp/Allen

Any less than that and we'll probably end up playing Lati in there again next season.
