Ross McCormack wont be at Dulham next season. He would be decent for us. Proven goalscorer
But could we afford him?

All the suggestions above are fine, but until we get a manager and a decent scouting set-up it's all a bit previous.
What would be great is that the club get off its hands and appoint a manager who immediately has an idea of how he wants the game to be played and brings in the appropriate players.
My concern is that they may be required to offload all the dead wood first, which might take a while.

Somebody said on Twitter earlier that there will be a point where we will have to clear the slate for a fair number of our current squad. At the moment there are none of them that I would be devastated to lose, but once the new owner and therefore new manager is in place, if they feel certain players can take the club up again then they need a second chance.

That's my fear.

A Pearson or similar coming in and asking Gabby, Bacuna and Lescott to 'prove themselves.'  (sigh)

Gabby, Richards, Lescott, N'Zogbia don't need a second chance. They need to leave. If the potential new manager thinks otherwise, this is a very good indicator that they are not the right manager for us.

Iheanacho from Man City on a season long loan would be a good deal

The kid who looks like he could break through and be a major part of Man City's first team? Not going to happen.

NZog is out of contract come July, I think.

The promoted teams from the Championship this season must look at bag of experience that players like Guzan, Hutton, Richards, Lescott, Cissohko, Richadson, Bacuna, Sanchez, Agbonlahor, N'Zogbia provide and snap them up as soon as they can if they are smart!

I know, I've been counting down the days...!

The last thing we want is someone coming in and thinking there's a class player there who we wouldn't have to pay a transfer fee for...

Definitely not. Far too good for the championship. He's had a fair wedge of game time this season and will get more next year. He'll be quite happy to stay and fight for his place. The last thing City need is to be buying more strikers. It's other areas they'll focus on.

Bacuna is just absolute shite and has to go. Gabby has to go too. Lescott and an absolute push may be useful. He can get away with his legs at Championship level. Dunney was rock solid for QPR at that level and he was in worse nick than Lescott is now...but the attitude needs adjusting for sure.

We've got more left footed centre backs than we know what to do with - Lescott, Clark, Baker and Toner. How has Baker been doing in his loan spell? Whilst we need to give ourselves the best chance of getting promoted, it's also a chance to promote the good young players we have coming through who otherwise might have been shipped out on loan. Then the other gaps need to be filled by experienced pro's with the right attitude. I hope it's true that Petrov's fitness levels are back to where they were because that would be a big step on the latter.
