A few websites on news now suggesting he’s about to become our first signing.
I hate summers these days with loads of transfers. I didn’t used to but now you know how much money gets wasted on greedy agents.
For me:
Dunne for RB
Mepham for CB
McBurnie for CF
All starters. All without a transfer fee. No doubt half decent signing-on fees but not astronomical.
Then sign a decent winger on loan.
Anyone else coming in should be to replace an outgoing player. This should be limited to Hamer, Souza and Peck so players like Poku, Choudhury and Doyle would be decent considerations.
Even if Brewster leaves it gives you Moore, McBurnie, Campbell, Cannon, One.
With the young defender being tied down it gives you Dunne, Seriki, Mepham, Ahmedhodzic, Robinson, Baptiste, Burrows, McCallum.
In midfield you still have Peck, Arblaster, Souza, Davies, O’Hare, Hamer, Brooks, Caceres. Plus another winger.
You’ve still got Cooper, Faxon and Davies.
You’ve then Grbic, Norrington-Davies and Shackleton that are probably surplus to requirements.
25 players, 3 new permanent players, one loan and minimal disruption. Good to go and without silly outlay and notwithstanding the odd youth May break through like Buyabi, Blacker etc.
