We need creative midfielders before we sign another striker. Also can’t see Fulham selling him to a team in the same division.

yeah your right 2 creative midfielders needed plus a good physical defensive midfielder as well add 2 centre backs and possibly another striker and think that would just about do us

Yeah definitely. All depends on what system SJ wants to play. We’ll need players who can play out wide because we don’t have any really.

We’ve got seven strikers on the books, all of them bar Burke and the unproven Jebbison have scored goals at Champ level before, so it’s not really a priority.

Bang on.
However what formation are you playing after that?

Burke can play on the right of a three, I wouldn't be surprised if he is used there to great effect, like he was at Forest. He's been played out of position all season and in a league that is too high for him playing out of position in a team that losers most weeks. Totally different next season, I think Burke should be given a chance as he's got pace and power, which Slav has already said he wants, or based on his previous teams, can't remember now. I think Burke could be a big winner under Slav.

Agree. I know he's got plenty of critics on here and he's not covered himself in glory last season (but no one did) but it was visible to a blind man that he was being asked to do a job he just isn't suited for and wasn't up to. This one's down to CW again as he didn't learn his lesson from trying and failing to convert Robinson into a centre forward. He liked a project did CW and he sometimes got it completely wrong.

The lad needs to be played on the either side of a 3 player attack or needs to be out wide getting chalk on his boots. Get him out wide and using his pace and he would potentially be a real asset for us next season.

Unlike some I've not written this lad off yet, and I think he will come good if he's played correctly by Big Slav and if he's got his head right again (his head did seem to go down as the season went on). Played correctly he has the attributes to be a dangerous attacking player for us.

Agree with all of that, but feel the desire to defend Wilder on this. I very much doubt Wilder's first choice was Burke, I think the signing was made out of a lack of options that he could afford, although likely the Prince had other players through Van Winckel which Wilder didn't presumably use. Also Wilder didn't fancy Robinson and maybe thought the deal was a no brainer from the perspective of selling a player he didn't want to one that could offer us pace and power, and if it doesn't come off then it was a low transfer fee/wages. That's my guesswork on the transfer. But whatever, I think Burke could be a real player next season for us, as we both think.

Unless we want to smash our wage structure there is absolutely no way we’ll be signing either Cairney or Mitrovic

Maybe Slav has had words with the fresh Prince about who he would expect to sign etc, and that was the clincher

Our best chance is if Mitro forces a move. He's not happy there, reportedly. Had Fulham stayed up I'm sure we'd have gone for him. But Fulham would be nuts to sell him to a rival especially as they're back in the Champ. I think on a similar basis we should do our best to stick with McBurnie, but with Jebbo's arrival the need for Mitro or McBurnie is much less anyway. For me if it's a three up top next year it'll be Burke on the right, McGolrick in the middle (legend) and a new left forward is needed as we don't have one to my knowledge. You could play McGoldrick on the left perhaps, he is reasonable with both feet, but would think some out and out pace on the left and McGoldrick in the middle would be preferable. So that leaves Jebbo, Sharp and Brewster to come on. Mousset to be sold - hopefully. There's one too many centre forwards but hope we don't sell Sharp, I still think he could do a job, we may end up playing with two up top still, who knows.

I don't get the idea of not selling a player to a promotion rival if you don't want him.
If a rival club offers a fee that you think will allow you to bring in someone who's better, why wouldn't you do it?
We could be in the same situation with our players if Wilder goes to West Brom. If they were to put in a good offer for, say, McBurnie and we think those funds can be used to make our own team stronger then I'd have no concerns in accepting it.
Surely that is better than being stuck with someone you don't want just for the sake of hindering one other teams promotion challenge.

For what he'd cost (fee & salary) signing Mitrovic just doesn't make sense. Yes, he'd most probably do a decent job next season, but then what? If Utd do manage to get back up, he's repeatedly shown he's not quite good enough for the Prem and would need to be replaced. If not, they're stuck with a depreciating asset on >£80k/week and having to absorb another big drop in revenue via a reduced parachute payment.
While reinforcements are certainly required up front, we don't want to repeat the critical error CW made in neglecting other, higher priority gaps in the squad and just blowing the budget on a single striker, who may or may not fit in.
There are certainly better value options or there even thought they may not have the Champ pedigree Mitrovic has e.g. JC-H, who seems you be following Toney's career path and is coming off the back of a red hot season, would be available at a fraction of the overall package cost it would take to land Mitrovic.

Just can't believe we didn't grab Ivan Toney last summer.
 

I think Deeney would be a better idea than mitrovic and could also help with the recovery of Brewster. Slav was with him at Watford obviously
 
I'd be more than happy with Mitrovic, assuming it was at a sensible cost. I think a lot of people forget he's still only 26, so still has plenty of football ahead of him.
 
Reports Fulham are looking at Daryl Dike at Barnsley as a 'replacement' for Mitrovic, and apparently he has not been first choice towards the end of the season under Parker, could just be paper/agent talk, as elsewhere rumours that Everton are after Dike

Mitrovic definitely not staying at Fulham, that's pretty much a given

It's going to be an interesting season, last year it came close, for the first time, 3 relegated sides going back up,, as much as there is a fear of us losing players, the same applies if not more so, to WBA and Fulham, the latter with 8? Loans,, and you would imagine WBA will lose their keeper and Pereira

Think he’s contracted to Orlando in the MLS and they were asking 10+ million for him in January.
 
Given our historical reluctance to dig deep where fees and wages are concerned, unless there's been a 360 degree change of mind from the Board, what makes anyone imagine we'll suddenly shell out the type of money that might increase any chance of promotion we might have? I'd love to see 2-3 quality players in our colours with fees and wages attached, but can anyone think of a good reason why this might happen?
 
The last thing we need is another striker. The have a made-to-measure Championship standard strike force in McBurnie and Brewster, both of whom have one in two at this level (admittedly small sample for Brewster). McGoldrick, Mousset, Sharp and Burke all offer something different as subs, plus Jebbison may continue his progression.

We need a skilful and creative midfield player to get the ball to them and that’s the absolute priority if we’re on about spending big or breaking wage structures. Gerrit int reyt areas and them lot will do ‘t rest.

depends whether jokanovic fancies the 6 strikers weve got he may want to offload a couple and bring in 2 new strikers

(Burke was) "asked to do a job he isn't suited for and wasn't up to"
If you mean he was asked to play football even though he wasn't up to kicking a ball in the right direction then I agree with you. Not fair on the lad at all.
