No 1 target is Neal Maupay. Initial interest in Kalvin Philips, Joe Allen ( in last year of contract ) and Daniel James. Although realisation it’s a big wish list. Henderson to return on loan nearly sorted, and a free transfer back up keeper to be signed. All other loanees to return to parent clubs.

That lot would be spot on

Basically strengthening us in each department.

Can't see it tbh, but with our squad, those signings and CW, who would bet against us stopping up?

And if we came down we would be stronger. And if one of the young lads cuts it and we cash in we wouldn't have lost a penny.

A bit underwhelming - Maupay will need Canas with him, Allen reminds me of lastpayday Hammond and the others unproven in PL. Disappointing we're sending back the 3 loans that coincided with the improved form to get to PL.

Quite opposite for me. Maupay could be our Callum Wilson type signing. Allen is the type of midfielder we desperately need in the premier league.
 
We need a specialist Duffy replacement. Someone good enough and clever enough to play the same role and do similar things. As near like for like as we can.

And if we can't, get two wide attackers who can play behind one central striker (eg Robinson and James / H.Wilson / Canos).

Not signing Dowell is the right decision, we need a bit more.

Not signing Madine is a difficult call, because we will need a target man. I'm sure he'll be gutted.

Would be very ambitious to get those over the line. Presumably another loan would come in once other business gets done. Surprised madine isn’t coming back in as a target man option tbf.

Maupay is a risk but there is a player there imo.

Kalvin Philips is a versatile player (even if he needs work on his Barnet) and was outstanding for Leeds for most of the season.

Allen would be a quality addition - the type of technically gifted player we need at the next level. Would have though wages could be an issue.

Daniel James is the one I don’t get - he seems like a pacy wide player - an exciting prospect. But Exactly the sort of players who have struggled for us in the system we play. Like Thomas, chapman, that Man U loanee, and Woodburn. Would have though someone like freeman would be more in the mould we are after?

Is Simon Moore on his way then?

My concern exactly - we need to be able to replicate the way Duffy makes our team tick. Maybe that’s what they see Allen doing - he has played further forward hasn’t he?

My worry is that Wide stackers haven’t faired well in the system we play.... We just don’t seem to be able to intergrate them and remain effective as a 3-5-2

Nathan Thomas
Harry Chapman
That Man U wide player
Marvin Johnson
Ben woodburn
Even someone as talented as Brooks rightly wasn’t a guaranteed first name of the team sheet which you’d argue given what he’s doing in the prem he should have been

We should be able to make wide attackers work. There are ways to do it and it shouldn't be beyond our coaching staff. It would help if we had decent ones to choose from - we haven't had 2 at the same time at any point.

I think it could be the way to go for us next season, with the wide CBs likely to stay back. The wide attackers would vastly reduce the need for attacking contributions from them. They'd just have to avoid getting in the way of the wing backs, which is why they should be players who have the intelligence and control to play in central areas - ideally a right footer on the left and a left footer on the right.
 
The one that intrigues me is the substitute GK to cover for Henderson. Could it be Arthur Boruc? Considering Bournemouth played the young lad against Tottenham over him AND he's out of contract at the end of the season? Thoughts?

Agree, The intellence and control is key for me - we need technically able players that won’t waste the position we have and could play in a fluid way ( not what you might term a kick and rush ‘Marvin Johnson’ type).

However, Those type of players would be expensive to recruit, so it’s whether wilder wants to spend and significant proportion of our budget recruiting for a formation we haven’t ever played under him...

One of our strengths is our formation and system. I wouldn’t shift from that.

I too lean heavily towards remaining as we are formation wise and looking for upgrades where we can and as we did when coming up from league one . (Or players that might allow us to play a slightly more defensive version in games where we’re gonna be under the cosh.)

We add ungrades along the spine and we stand every chance - especially if we hit on a forward.

A new ‘Duffy type’ to reduce our reliance on him is an absolute must for me! He’s beat out every challenger so far
 
YES Blade said:
Cardiff will probably want at least the £6m they paid for him, which would be way too much, if it’s £2m-£3m then I’d be tempted.

Cardiff won't have paid 6M. He came on loan to us to avoid apperances triggering a payment and there would have been a staying up and goals scored built into the 6M.

Never thought i'd see the day where we are actually trying to sign some of the best players in the championship. Up Chris Wilder's blayards
 
We’ve got to be looking at buying Hendo. It’s not ideal for us to be using one of our 2 loans on a keeper.

Boruc or maybe Westwood?

We can only buy him if Man U are willing to sell him

CW said, a sale was never discussed, so I'm assuming Man U don't wish to move him on ............................. yet
