Get him in as the 2nd attacking midfielder and then we have multiple players who can all play across that 3.

Blackburn have a 12 month option to extend in their favour. So won’t be out of contract in summer.

Turn the tables and sign Hyam for a packet of jammie dodgers

Not convinced personally. Don't think he has enough about his all around game to fit into our style. Exceptional delivery though, particularly from set pieces.
He's a good player. Lot of upside in terms of his tenacity & work rate but the end product isn't always there. His finishing & ball striking particularly need work. Similar to O'Hare at that age I guess.
He's absolutely the type of project that MR & AV would relish, problem is he's under contract until 2026 with Huddersfield having the option of an additional year too so would be expensive & as you say, might be more favourable options at that price.
Can absolutely see that.

Big summer but need to keep certain players in this group together. I think we have 15 strong players under contract that we will need to build on. But outside of those we need to make decisions on at least 10 to determine what's needed to improve the squad
5 out of contract will be gone.
Binks not sure
Godden, Allen, JDS and Wilson i think we can improve on these players. But if they stay no problem.
Lastly does MR see a pathway for Obikwu, Burroughs and Howley its going to be a lot of moving parts come summer.

Apart from O Hare, who are the other 4 please?

Who is it we have as an option from posh? Like Kyprianou and Burrows from them.
Rudoni and Dolan would defo bee good additions.

Blackburn are getting a summer windfall of £3m from Raya completing his Arsenal move

Not saying they wouldn’t consider selling him but he’s not available on a free.
Like to see the squad stay as settled as possible, so based on what has been seen recently something like this: -
Collins / Wilson
MVE / Burroughs – Thomas / Lati – Kitching / New CB – Bidwell / JDS
Sheaf / Torp – Eccles / Allen
Sakamoto / MVE – Palmer / New 10 – Wright / EMC
Simms / New 9
That's 3 new signings that can go into starting line-up if required (2 if Binks signs). And 4 slots left to fill a 25-man squad. I guess Tavares, Howley, and Obikwu would be considered for those. Expecting Moore, Kelly, O'hare, and Godden to leave.

We have to challenge Bidwell, Collins and Eccles as well as replace Godden. In my opinion Wilson, JDS and Allen are players we could get better depth. If Sheaf stays then we need 4 more, if he goes we need 5 players that are ready made starters.

I’ve been suggesting Thierno Ballo ever since he became a free agent one or two summers ago, still only 21 I believe and is smashing it in Austria.

Out of contract this summer could be a nice pick up

A lot of things depend on the probable sale of Vik , until we know what’s in the kitty .
Does anyone know how much is left from our sales this season, plus the large extra incomes from league attendances & FA cup run ?

Starting 11 wise I think it’s only possibly attacking midfield and left back we might look to improve on. Then depth at right wing, CB and striker (assuming Godden leaves). Were in a good place.

Very skillful baller, has a good pass on him and certainly knows the back of the net. Only concern might be if he can match the physicality of the championship.

You try and improve every position if you can. If this years starters are next years back ups it means the squad is stronger.

Nah, some stability will be good for us. Keep the core in place. Since switching to 4 at the back we’ve not been far off automatic promotion form.

Each to their own. Personally if we can improve on a player I would. As much as I love tats I’d not turn down Whittaker from Plymouth. I’d take Smozdics over Palmer despite him playing well.

Smozdics was linked with Celtic and Brentford today. He's 29 next season and this year has been a freak like Akpom last year (Smozdics only scored 7 last year).
He'll probably end up at a relegated Prem team looking for an instant return and not worried about future value.
Whittaker is well out of our league unless we went up.

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
