In this window. There was originally a plan for 2 loan signings but the board have pulled the plug on that.
Just seen on twitter, took from the athletic.
Well, it's hardly a surprise considering it's the 26th of Jan and we're already relegated. But I'd have liked to see us start the first steps of a rebuild now.
Understand the boards stance though given how much money Wilder and Mitchell have pissed up the wall this season and last.
If that is true can't argue with the boards stance. It would be a complete waste of time and money. The only positive is it may give the squad a bit of a boost and we may then get a few more points in terms of potentially beating the records for worst ever team. However, the focus has to be on the summer. The wages agents will demand now v Champ will be different as will the wages we pay.
To me we need to get to the summer and move on a lot of players like Moore, Foderingham, Verrips, Bryan, Jagielka, Rodwell, J.Robinson, Freeman etc
We need to get what money we can for Mousset.
Then a few tough decisions on Stevens, Norwood, Fleck and maybe even Sharp. I expect if we can find takers a few to be moved on.
Berge we will need to get what we can for.
Think getting Egan to stay will be hard but depend on bids. O' Connell may stay until he proves his fitness but if hes close to level he was he will be gone by the end of August.
It's quite startling we may/will probably have about 6 or 7 new starters and similiar back ups. 13-14 new players seems a lot but the grind of the twice a week Championship will dictate that.
We need 2 competent Championship keepers. At the moment not sure we have any. Ramsdale will be given time but if he continues to perform as he has we can't keep playing him no matter how much he cost.
Full backs expect he will be go with what we have in RND/Lowe and Baldock/Bogle.
Potentially we need 3-5 new centre backs (with cover) if we still 3 at the back if we assume the above back ups leave and at least one of Egan/Jack.
We need at least 2-3 midfielders ...prob more with cover. It's not inconceivable we may only be left with Osborn and maybe one of Fleck/Norwood.
I expect he will leave the strikers as McBurnie, Didzy, Brewster and Burke...maybe Sharp a bit part.
Be an interesting summer and a turnover of players I did not expect to be so big and fast but failure dictates a fair few will move on for the good of the club and them.
