I imagine Kalinic will go, probably on-loan. Nyland’s not fully fit yet (and still with a big ? hanging over him) so signing Etheridge would just give us 2 decent keepers - an absolute pre-requisite in this league. Kodjia was supposedly close to leaving in Jan- will he be sticking around now?

We’ve no idea whether James Chester will return to full fitness, or form even if he does. Grealish & McGinn aside, there’s very little guaranteed Premiership quality in our squad. I agree that we need a cull of the deadwood, but we also need a major, major recruitment drive.

I’d sign Tammy plus another striker. I don’t see that it’s one or the other. Tammy has stated before that his favourite position is wide in a front 3 and I think he could be a real asset in that role alongside a more experienced/prolific central striker.

Lorente for a season and Maupay might be a decent shout. The former would score in our side the way we get the ball across.

Wouldn't it rather defeat the point of releasing all our older, no longer good enough for the Premier League players to sign a 35-year old centre half bombed out on loan to Stoke for last season?

No. Not had a good game since we got relegated seemingly.

I would hope we've moved on from the Williams type shit. It's taken us years to get our own crocks out as it is.

I like Maupay but cannot get the snidey nasty cowardly stamp he did on SJG at VP last season out of my mind. My dog shit supporting mate reckons he has form and did something similar against them

Batshauyi on loan might be a shout, albeit a very unimaginative one. Someone like Maupay alongside him seems ideal to mitigate the risk of going all in on Championship players.

Like the look of Tomori to replace Axel

Etheridge coming in to replace Kalinic with Steer holding the shirt sounds smart too.

Like the idea of Lolley and Tavernier. DM someone like Phillips (would be difficult to get now Bielsa is staying) or Chalobah

There's so much work to be done in key areas - CB, LB, DM, CF all need to be hits.

For once, I am really content to wait and see what Dean and the crew bring in. It's been a long time since I could say this.

He’ll probably head to Spurs, but Sessegnon would be an upgrade at LB.
