I'd like Terry back and ideally Snodders as well for continuity. That team last season almost cracked it. With a fit Kodjia and Green added to it and a good replacement for Johnstone i'd be confident we'd go up.

With FFP the money isn't there for those players. Lets face it, if it was we wouldn't be having punts on the likes of Moreira. I still expect 2 or 3 players of last seasons squad to leave

Snoddgrass possibly, not sure about Terry though. He came in and did ok but I'm not sure we need him again. Hopefully his influence and experience has stuck with a few of the players though.

They have actually said nothing about putting any money in as yet, they have been very rational and sensible but I agree it won't stop people moaning.

Probably the same ones that went into a rage about getting into the FFP mess.

Jesus every time I see the team sheet come out for a friendly I think we need several additions.

Being linked some Wolves left back, also from the Mendes stable.  Perhaps we need a list of his cheap players so we can play 'guess the loan'.

Matt Doherty impressed me from their lot when we played back in Spring at VP. 

Think it was his surging run and ball inside that led to their goal. I expect with that sort of name he isn't a Mendes player though.

It was Neil Taylor he surged past though.

2 centre halves, left back and striker as a minimum are needed.

yep if we don't lose a few more players between now and deadline day.

I wonder if we'll try and loan Tuanzebe in again, given United still have an excess in that position. He was never going to displace Terry or Chester last season but he'd surely slot in better than Hutton or De Laet would in a back three.

I thought I read something at the back end of last season that he'd be coming back - or maybe that was conditional on us going up?
