If promoted I’d like cov to sign up and coming talent, Southampton will be picked apart for young talent

priority a keeper
try And sign mcnally and Doyle
An experienced centre half
Two/three wing backs
Back up striker

Happy for the midfield to have a go

I wouldn’t want signings like coufal on a free etc, yesterday’s players

I wouldn’t want us doing what forest did

in robins we trust

if not promoted then similar plan but up and coming championship/league one players with usual loans

Yeah that was great to see, it clearly meant a lot to him.

Man really doesn’t want to have to play for West Ham next season.

It wouldn’t happen but Ward-Prowse would be a cracking acquisition for any lower half Prem side

He would but surely a top half team will take him. I could see him at somewhere like Spurs or Man U.

He’d have gone to one of them by now I’d have thought. Will be interesting to see where he does end up anyway

Dean Henderson, Brandon Williams and Elanga being let go at United. Might be worth going for if we get promoted

All three would be class but I could see them going to someone like Palace over us given the chance

Doyle on a permanent with a buy back clause would be excellent business

Absolutely doable then if we want him

I think a loan would be our best best. Can’t see them wanting to let him go. Think we might be in with a shout with the other loanees though.

If we go up we might be able to twist their arm. His progress is unbelievable for a 19 year old
Daring to think England captain material

Don't think we would have any chance with Doyle or Wilson-Esbrand other than on loan if we went up. Would we want Panzo?

I can't see why Man City would sell him. They don't need the money and he looks good enough already to become a first team player for them in due course. Like you it wouldn't surprise me if he plays for England.

Really? Not with Wilson-Esbrand? Plus he's not Prem standard anyway - I wouldn't want him in the Prem

Man City would be considering his potential not whether he is ready for the Premier league next season.

I am not even sure Doyle is ready yet.

Wages - regardless of competition from existing PL clubs. That's why I'd be looking at Championship's better players / ambitious youngsters with potential sell on value. Don't want to throw money at journeymen who are just after a pay day.

I agree but don't think Ward Prowse is a journeyman.

We're not sure any of our current players are yet (in order I would say Hamer, followed by Gyo then McNally .

No, wasn't suggesting he was (maybe badly worded!)

PVA · May 20, 2023

I don't think Doyle is Premier League ready yet, but he didn't look Championship ready at the start of the season, now look at him. Seems to be improving very quickly.

We don't have a chance of signing him on a permanent, we could definitely get another loan though.

Just seen on that article that they have a player called Oscar Bobb. What a wonderful name.

Well he isn’t, he’s only been there and isn’t that old either. But will be big competition for his signature anyway.

We lack championship quality let alone prem, we've got players that go as far back as league two. I fear we'd need a similar overhaul as the likes of forest, and even then you don't know how that will play out. Outside of the loans, vik, hamer and sheaf are the only ones I'd class as top champ/lower prem players. If we went up, we'd have likely have one of the worse squads that's ever made it to the prem from the championship.

But it doesn't matter. We've got fire in our belly and we are hungry as. 20th in league budget says it all. Confident we'd survive the 1st season up.

IF, we manage to get promoted, do you think we would still be interested in the lad de silver from bristol, I'm sure he's a free agent at the end of this season.

No - nowhere near the standard

ProfessorbyGrace · May 20, 2023

Good job we’re not recruitment personnel isn’t it?

I imagine MR is putting any solid targets on hold, as if we do go up (unbelievably), we’d require a different class of players, obviously.

Skybluecov1 · May 20, 2023

If vik goes maybe Ross Stewart from scumberland. Decent record so far in the championship and if stayed fit could have challenged vik and akpom to the golden boot. Doubt he will be on stupid wages aswell and will relish a challenge in the premiership

Absolutely not. Horrific injury record, only played in the Championship over a 10/15 game period and the mad Mackems want £15m for him.

Yes, agree - i was talking about us not going for journeymen players in general (obviously not JWP, who I think is a no go, due to wages/competition)

Would like to see us go after Johansson at Rotherham even if we don’t go up.

McNally too and if we can pinch BNC on a perm.

If we went up I’d be looking for an experienced CB who knows the division and a LCB (maybe Doyle on loan). Then a LWB like Giles. Then a few foreign gambles sprinkled around at ST, AM, CM, CB etc.

Aim for 20 core Prem quality players, which probably means 15/16 signings total.

We definitely need to pick up some experienced professionals where we can if we go up. We need strong leaders in the team to get us through the season as it will get tough and ugly. It seems that Robins has a plan if we were to get promoted.

This applies irrespective of what league we're in come 23/24.
