Roumba Charlton zilch. Alan Judge N County free
Dwight Gayle Posh 650k Simeon Jackson Naaarch 650k
Strikers - simeon jackson (500k)
Still need a creative centre midfielder just can't think of any at the moment!
No one - n/a (£0)
DEF
Powerful ball playing CB - French team (Free)
Right Back Prospect ("the next Bradley Pritchard", plays for u21s, joins Ebbsfleet on loan) - Blue Square South (Free)
MID
Underwhelming Midfielder (but turns out to be very good) - League One side (Undisclosed)
Overhyped Winger (Has an impressive YouTube compilation, Pritchard turns out to be the better option) - Championship (Undisclosed)
ST
Goalscorer - Relegated Championship side (Undisclosed)
Bargain Bucket Striker (The new Kerkar, promising at first, then written off, later works way back into squad) - SPL side (Free)
If a player is available to you who offers something new or is better than what you have, you always must try to get him.
If we can free up some wage budget by easing out fringe players on frees or for small fees (e.g. BWP, Hollands) we may be able to improve the quality we have with some players in on frees (Gower, Judge and or Roumba)
The key for next year will be to start to bring through players from the successful U21s squad (most will be U20s next season) in order to free up space for members of the successful U18s squad as well as the likes of Mambo and Smith
If we can get to Aug 31st with Solly, Wiggins, Morrison, Hamer, Jackson, Kermy etc still in the squad I'd be a happy man
Not sure how much Shelvey has been getting in the Liverpool team just recently and they will no doubt spend again in the summer...pipe dream as I am sure he would have better suitors but that would be a smashing loan signing.
As above, if we could keep our current team together, add a dominant CB and regular goalscorer as well as a RW we would stand a chance of playoffs poentially.
That said the 3 relegated teams are likely to be strong next year. no financial basketcases like there were last season (unless QPR go tits up).
CB- Danny Batth (free) (, Lewis Dunk (free)
RM- Paul Anderson (200k)
CM-Perkins (250k), Bostwick (if Peterborough go down, can play CM and CB 500k), Luke Murphy (More unrealistic 1m+)
CAM- Judge (Free)
Strikers- Harry Kane (loan), Simeon Jackson, Baldock (800k), Schlupp (Loan), Gayle, Paddy Madden (400k), Max Clayton (1m+), Tom Pope (300k)
aybe a class act on the pitch but off it he's expecting his fourth child in two years with three different women.
Don't need one - unless Stoke want to loan Butland to us.
DEF
Can't think of any specific names other than Shittu and Barnett - both unrealistic but we do need to strengthen here. We may need to replace Solly if he's sold as well.
MID
Kris Taylor from Millwall
Sako from Wolves
Perkins from Barnsley
ST
Max Clayton - Crewe
