Vaz Te is on a wedge isn't he? I thought upwards of 15 at least. I've also read he demanded 26k in recent contract negotiations.
No way he's coming here. I'd much rather have straight cash for Solly and let CP spend it however he wants. Given a couple of mill who knows what signings he could pull off.
Thanks for the clarification mate. Given the opportunity , who would u fancy as CF signing ?
Well yes .... Gower dale hughsie mid 3 Pritchard and Jacko tucked in, yann on his own. Could work but no width , If we had the confidence to play tiki taka we could dominate possession
But who breaks from midfield ?
I like Ebanks-Blake who you mentioned. Obviously depends on funds but would be very unhappy with Church and Robinson. Neither are an improvement on BWP imo so pointless. Obika, Blake and maybe someone physical to back up Kerms would be good.

Of course I would like a raft of quality signings but after giving it careful thought I think I would accept the current squad as it is with the addition of one real quality striker and one striker as a punt. I think we can cover the rest. Not ideal but better than spreading what money we do have too thinly with journeymen.

It's a good thought, to retain a small and tightly-knit squad that inspires a fierce team spirit, making us hard to beat. Without much cover in defence we need to be lucky with lack of injuries.

Soly / Wilson Cort, Dervite, Morrison, Feeley Wiggins / Fox
Midfield would ideally get a quality playmaker but I think we could survive.
Plus the one push the boat out striker and sensible punt striker.

I would take that.
I like your idea. I imagine it's always difficult to know exactly when to launch the youngsters in to the first team. There's a lot to be said for being bold; an injury to Solly or Wiggins next season (heaven forbid) might be the right chance for someone to step up from the U-21s. I agree with you that recruiting tired journeymen on the cheap might well be counter-productive.
Can't see us having less than 4 senior strikers, so that's a minimum or 3 signings. It might take until the end of the transfer window but any less we won't have enough numbers or quality to even stay in this division.
I agree Scoham. Four is a necessity for strikers like centre backs but if there genuinely is no money then perhaps a smarter approach would get in two and have a youngster as fourth. I just don't want to see us getting in people for the sake of it. If we can't push on because of money then so be it. Wasting what we do have on journeyman to make up the numbers is not the way to go. Time will tell but I can't see three proven front men coming in.
Starting to find it a bit odd that there are in fact hardly any decent rumours concerning us at this stage. We usually have a couple at least of our targets that slip into the public domain. Those ITK are also deadly quiet. It seems all we have at the moment is wild speculation and Obika which wasn't that hard to work out.
Think we have sorted a few and they will be made public a week Monday, when they become free agents (as we did with Matt Taylor), no inside knowledge for this only a plain old guess.
Perhaps we are skint and we are trying to ship a few players out to free up some money to bring in some strikers. It would be good if a few deals were done before we go to Spain.

Noble and Carroll for starters for me. Like Solly but he really is not the next coming of gary neville or cafu

To do ok, one decent striker and some luck with injuries shuld be just about enough.
Under the radar.
