That’s a start but games like today, Norwich, PNE and WBA we lacked something in midfield. My hope is that Torp adapts to English football and flourishes next season and Eccles adds layers to his game too. If we want to be a strong playoff team pushing automatics, we need someone as close to Hamer’s ability as possible.If its kyprianou that's the centre midfield sorted
Only reason Ronnie Edwards hasn’t left yet is because they are holding out for big money. They’ll get a decent amount for him, more than we can afford. Maybe on loan from whoever he goes to though.I would think we have targets ready to go in the summer . Can see at least 4 more signings as well as EMC coming in .
Think we need a CB , Cm , Am and a striker as the bare minimum .
Would love Ronnie Edwards to be the centre back , not sure on the CM , Azeez or a Dolan type as AM and maybe the lad from Brondby as the striker .
Don't know if this would depend on Viks future or whether we still have a decent war chest from last summer
Yeah I know , we can dream thoughOnly reason Ronnie Edwards hasn’t left yet is because they are holding out for big money. They’ll get a decent amount for him, more than we can afford. Maybe on loan from whoever he goes to though.
Lol , check out his stats . He can play across the front 3 and as an AM as well .Hi Mr Azeez. What is it about your son that would make our club want to sign him? You never shut up about him.
No mate , why ?I can get that from transfermarket mr azeez as can anyone. Seen him play?
Drone on ? This is a transfer target thread and I'm mentioning a player who I feel could suit our system,albeit based on stats. Like anything else ,if you don't like it scroll pastJust wonder why you keep mentioning him. Thought you might give a scouting report on him, other than wiki. Watched some games he’s played in etc. no need to drone on about him now then
Winger and CM i think might be Poku and that defensive midfielder at Pboro.Moore, Kelly, O'Hare and Godden are definitely going
Binks we are keen on returning but Bologna seem to think they can demand more than hes worth
Allen is the only other one who we may lose but thats only if an acceptable bid comes in
Dont be surprised to see Tavares go either
I dont expect major surgery this summer. But i do expect those that come in to be of quality, especially when Vik moves on. Burroughs will be part of the squad as cover for any of the left or right sides
Expect to see.
Winger
Centre midfielder
A new number 10
Centre half
Striker
Anyone expecting a flood of incomings will be disappointed. We have the base, we now just need to add quality and fine tune
Sakamoto isn't a 10 , he's as near an old fashioned winger as you will see .Winger and CM i think might be Poku and that defensive midfielder at Pboro.
Centre half i think will end up being Binks
New No10 i wonder if Evander from Portland. I think were linked with him last summer
Striker i expect will be big and fast as Robins clearly wants pace and strength. I think Ohare would have been gone even if his contract wasnt up this season if we had a bid of 5m plus for him. I also feel management think Sakamoto could develop into a no.10 eventually given his versatility.
Probably not far offSo based on Saddlebrains the 25 is:
Collins/Wilson/Tyler
MvE/Burroughs
Dasilva/Bidwell
CB/Kitching
Lats/Thomas
Sheaf/Eccles
Torp/CM
RW/Saka
Palmer/AM/Allen(?)
EMC/Wright
Simms/ST/Obikwu
Are you ok?How was it relevant to the thread when you made your comment?
nice try
Slightly drunk , off to bed in a moment . Would you like a virtual hug before I log off ?Fine. Are you?
Honestly I think we'd get about £8m for Sheaf maximum. It isn't that he isn't a good player he just has lapses of judgement and given where he plays on the pitch the really expensive players in that position cut that out. He's a great championship player maybe bottom half of the prem.Or the player wants a move. Every player has his price.
I think Sheaf has a higher ceiling than Hamer and his fee should reflect that …..
He is booshDrone on ? This is a transfer target thread and I'm mentioning a player who I feel could suit our system,albeit based on stats. Like anything else ,if you don't like it scroll past
Too many short sentences and full stops ?Fraid not. Shit attempt at humour. Not surprised you’re drunk. Stands to reason. Don’t accuse me of being another poster. Put yourself in my shoes. If the roles were reversed what would you say?
What stupid mistake?Goodnight Martin. What a pathetic attempt for self credibility. Sums you up. Go to bed like you were saying. I don’t expect you to own up to your stupid mistake and that above response is pathetic and you know it.
He's lost me completelyWhat stupid mistake?
Again , are you ok?Goodnight Martin. What a pathetic attempt for self credibility. Sums you up. Go to bed like you were saying. I don’t expect you to own up to your stupid mistake and that above response is pathetic and you know it.

Pathetic. Stalker alert. What a tool. Couldn’t own up to any of your own comments. Tells you everything about yourself

Luton will come back in for him if they stay up. He’s a good player and certainly a few will be watching him against United.I guess realistically which Premier League team is going to think he's better than what they've already got, I can't think of any. Maybe one of the promoted teams would take a punt, but I agree with you, I cannot see that being for a big enough amount of money for us to think is acceptable to cash in.
A very good player for us but there's an obsession with him being a bit better than he is. Hamer had the goal contributions and that's a massive thing in terms of value. I think we'll keep Sheaf, which will be good for our season.
Moore, Kelly, O'Hare and Godden are definitely going
Binks we are keen on returning but Bologna seem to think they can demand more than hes worth

@Saddlebrains do you know if robins is keen to add more experience in the summer ? We are a relatively young team and with Fadz, Kelly, Godden and possibly Allen off it feels like adding the odd older head might be helpful. One or two players who have been promoted from the championship before on more than one occasion might just give us the match savvy we will need next season.
Bidwell would be 32 next year and Wilson the same so thats 2 experienced headsthink bidwell and Wilson would be our oldest players if those leave
Well i actually would say a traditional winger is someone who plays on the side of the pitch that corresponds with their best foot. Sakamoto is left footed so isnt going to regularly go outside his full back and whip in a cross Dave Bennett style. Sakamoto is more likely to cut inside and shoot, which he is brilliant at. But as he is cutting in centrally, like many of his ilk i feel they can play a no10 role as they will be used to the more central areas.Sakamoto isn't a 10 , he's as near an old fashioned winger as you will see .
The only 24/25/26 year old we get or maybe 27 will be a top class no.10. That will be the big signing i'll bet.All of our players next season are 23 or above,
We’ll have 5 that turn 24
3 turning 25
1 turning 26 (assuming O’hare is off)
2 turning 27
3 turning 28
Allen turning 30
Wilson + Bidwell 32
So there is actually loads of experience there maybe we’ll see a couple young players around 20-23 brought in and a couple in the 27-30 range as we dont really need that old old head as I think Bidwell will be more than suitable as the older role model
Wilson is not experienced … he’s spent most of his career warming the bench not helping younger players learn how to see out matches.Bidwell would be 32 next year and Wilson the same so thats 2 experienced heads
Something we have really missed has been the defensive work of Saka . Easily forgotten but he was pretty immense in that respectWell i actually would say a traditional winger is someone who plays on the side of the pitch that corresponds with their best foot. Sakamoto is left footed so isnt going to regularly go outside his full back and whip in a cross Dave Bennett style. Sakamoto is more likely to cut inside and shoot, which he is brilliant at. But as he is cutting in centrally, like many of his ilk i feel they can play a no10 role as they will be used to the more central areas.
that being said i think he will be used as a no.7 primarily obviously as we will get a new no.10 in, and i suspect that will be the marquee signing in the summer as the other signings i think will be squad players to develop who provide cover and competition for the likes of Simms and Eccles and Sakamoto. I think Torp will be used as competition for Sheaf.
