Player Suggestion Out of Contract (2024)

Alan Browne has been playing right back too for PNE and would cover the midfield for us also.

We need a left sided midfielder so would go for Willock on a free.

McNair or Holgate (both depend on wages)

Callum O Hare as the marquee signing to be play behind Mcburnie in the Illiman type role.

Left wing back I’m not sure who’s there or available.

Few centre backs like Worrall / Souttar who have been mentioned previously.

Johansson from Rotherham

2 more strikers best we can attract / loan.

Think that’s pretty possible along with some squad fillers.
 

He is starting again for Burnley now, so maybe a new contract will be on offer, but otherwise given the big hole at left back, I think Charlie Taylor would be fit the Wilder profile, experienced, been involved in a recent promotion, good pro...

It’s difficult to take the Premiership ones all that seriously so I think your right.

Brownhill for instance, you’d think one of the newly promoted teams would see him as a cost effective addition.

In short I don’t see any of those on page 1 dropping to the Championship and will probably find a home at worst newly promoted teams or overseas. No need for the likes of Hughes to drop a level. Bobby Córdova-Reid has done far too well to drop.

You might have a conversation about Charlie Taylor or Marek Rodak. The likes of Aaron Cresswell seem a bit long in the tooth now. Mubama seems to have hit the radar. You’d imagine Karius has an overinflated view of his salary. The likes of Riedewald have hardly played and are just names to me. I have no impression of the player.

Apart from Burrows who Peterborough will take up his one year option, I don’t see much crying out to be hoovered up from the league below, so it brings us to our usual bread and butter recruitment.

Before skipping to the Championship, I wonder if ex-Brighton keeper Matt Ryan could be tempted back from the Netherlands? He’s 32 but that’s not old for a keeper.

Back to the good old Championship, defensively Dunne and McNair as you say ought to be targets worth having a chat with, especially as it is a huge ask to rely on Bash returning and you know Anel’s Dad will be on his case to move. Kipre has also played consistently for WBA and would be another conversation, similar stature to Anel.

I don’t see that much up front that I’d perceive as gettable.

It says Dolan has a further year, so he’d cost. Adams and Iheanacho would be good frees for a top flight team. Wolves already considering Adams if I read correctly. Sam Gallagher might be your McBurnie alternative but far less potent.

Chris Willock is not a bad player but he doesn’t seem to be having a great season.

It then leaves O’Hare, Browne and Mowatt with Praet and Naidu probably rating themselves far too highly in the wages stakes.

Given some of those slim pickings, it may well be that we conclude some 50/50 players we should keep. Likewise it also shows that the loan market will still play a part and unless we get lucky then we may well have to spend some money, the Rotherham keeper being an obvious example.

I'd have to disagree about our first season in the Premier League.

Most matches we started with Henderson, Baldock, Basham, Egan, O'Connell, Stevens, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck, McGoldrick, McBurnie.

Only Lundstram and McBurnie were new to that line up, even though Lundstram was with us the previous season.

Wilder signed Henderson (not really a new signing), McBurnie, C Robinson, Osborn, Jagielka, Freeman, J Robinson, Morrison, Mousset, Rodwell, Verrips, Berge, Besic, Retsos and Zivkovic.

That's 15 players of which only Henderson and McBurnie regularly held a starting place until Berge arrived. Mousset flitted in and out when he could manage 60 minutes.

Wilder wasted a ridiculously scandalous amount of money on players and we pretty much had the same team from the season before.

Onto the next season and we should have been signing replacements for our starting 11 to strengthen the team. Instead Wilder wasted more money on squad players who couldn't command a starting place except for Ramsdale, Ampadou (who was poor), and Brewster (who was poor).

Add to that this season and he's shown that he can't be trusted in the transfer market anymore. He may have been good 6 years ago in the Championship, but this is now and he's been poor in 5 of the last 5 transfer windows.

With all the players out of contract this summer this will be the most important transfer window that we've had in out recent history. Who knows if Wilder will be given money to spend on transfer fees as the club remains short sighted in utilising expensive loans whilst claiming that they want to sign players with future resale value, which they contradict with the loanees. Given that since we got relegated last time we only spent money on Ahmedhodzic I'm more than worried about this next window, as I don't trust our owner, I don't trust the club, I don't trust our recruitment team (not that we have one anymore), and I don't trust Wilder.

I don't have him on ignore. Many call him a pig, I'm not so sure, but as I pointed out making a comment about the qualities of Bannan, won't win him many mates.
 
bannan is wednesdays only class player and keeps em ticking over despite the slatings he gets on here without him they would already ve down

His stats for the season: 1 goal and 1 assist.
They hardly suggest that he is a class player.

Agreed and having watched him in a few matches he gives the ball away in some stupid positions, cannot tackle and wingers like a big girl, in fact his one redeeming factor is his hair do

His stats are poor for a creative midfielder who, until the other game, was their set-piece expert. Perhaps it is speed and aerial ability which convince some that he is a “class player”.

Could be, although one possibility is that his hair do makes him look like Bobby Charlton

But the formula the season before gave us our best season in more than half a century, despite looking a bit goal shy?

Everyone was crying out for a striker.

It wasn't everyone. There was a vocal minority - and I know because I was part of it - which was adamant that the problem was creativity not finishing and that the fix was in midfield, not up front.

I'm not disputing that there was probably a debate about where funds should be directed - creativity or attack - though the snip you've quoted appears that way. I was really disputing the notion that;

"we stuck with the same formula and paid the price"

Was anyone seriously suggesting we actually changed the way we were playing? - This really would have been laughable at the time.

There is some talent there. Some would come good again with a bit of luck a d encouragement. Problem as always, will be money. Do ww have enough to attract the players we want with the number of players we need this summer?

Rodak and Bobby Reid for me. Didn't realise Reid is 31 🤯 Always looked a v good player for Fulham.
 
Shoretire and McNeil at Man U could be with a look as youngsters that have been let go
 
matt ritchie would be a good signing for lwb to compete with rnd with jili buyabu as 3rd choice and wouldnt be at all suprised if we went for rodak
