Don't be that guyIt’s premier league squad not premiership .
As ever UTB!
Sounds like all the big guns are in for Scott, just like Gyökeres.Apart from trying to get Doyle and McAtee back, our two main targets should be choudhry at Watford and Scott at Bristol city.
I’d also like to see us go for Clarke at Sunderland for LWB and maybe Lewis O’Brien too for midfield.
The rumours around these championship players are very rarely true usually the agents ramping up interestSounds like all the big guns are in for Scott, just like Gyökeres.
Choudhry would be an excellent and achievable option though.
O'brien would be a great shout ad well.
I presume Osula will be out on loan. In an ideal world, Jebbo would get a Championship loan as well.Heigh, pace and aggression are needed in the middle. We have none of that barring Berge's pace in attacking transitions. Personally I feel Berge is the only Premier League quality midfielder we have. Even then the balance has to be right. Palace would be the model I'd look at in terms of acquisitions.
The only goalkeeper on the books I'm happy going into next season with is Wes.
Defensively I'd build around Anel, Egan, Baldock, Bogle, RND.
The forward line has Ndiaye, Mcburnie and a young, raw Jebbo and Osula.Mcburnie divides opinion but is unlikely to be moved on due to our investment and lack of funds for recruitment.
There's a lot of work to do if we want to give ourselves a realistic chance of staying up. 1x GK, 1x LWB, 1 x LCB, 3 x midfielders, 2 x strikers. If Ndiaye and or Berge leave even more.
He’s out of contract too, so no fee to the club. Deals like this ought to be attractive to us.Ellyes Skhiri at Köln is another Bundesliga CM worth a serious look (I watch this league quite often)
May be the fittest player in the league. Covers loads of ground and screens the back 4 very well. Tidy footballer....6 foot 1....even been scoring a lot recently too. Would have no problem with the PL at all
Would like us to look at guys like this who allow us to go with just 2 in CM and therefore allow 3 fwds
If so there might be too much of a queue for him then. But what a signing that would be on a freeHe’s out of contract too, so no fee to the club. Deals like this ought to be attractive to us.
I do wonder who we might pick up from this avenue.
Yours is always the worst possible scenario presented as fact
Assuming the likely happens and we go up these are the realistic options I think we could be looking at and how that would have our squad looking. My logic is, we will have little ball so need legs in the midfield alongside prem experience.
What do you think is missing ?

We need to be very wary of signing strikers off the back of a successful stint at Swansea....Joel Piroe needs to be considered as a forward IMO. Multiple seasons of very good champ peformances and always passes the eye test for me. Hopefully not as pricy as other options as well.![]()
Latibeaudiere is a Donny lad and has good pedigree (England and City) he’s not the biggest though and that might be a weakness he struggles to overcome during his career. Strikes me as a bit of utility man.Ryan Manning (LB/LWB) of Swansea available on a free. Good age and seems like a bit of a shithouse
Also Joel Latibeaudiere (RCB) would be available for a tribunal fee, though admittedly know much less about him
Wataru Endo from Stuttgart would be a good CM addition. Might fancy the PL. Been impressive for a while and also had a good world cup for Japan. Tidy player but also more physical than the Japanese stereotype
FunspongeI do enjoy reading these type of threads, but without sounding like a damp squid, could we just hold back until we get a huge bold ‘P’ at the side of our club name. We’re talking about Sheffield United here and we all know what can happen.
Me pessimistic? …..

Think Berge has some improving to achieve before he can be described as premier quality , he hasnt exactly stood out in many games this season , in fact hes been lucky to keep his place after some displays . The rest looks about right thoughHeigh, pace and aggression are needed in the middle. We have none of that barring Berge's pace in attacking transitions. Personally I feel Berge is the only Premier League quality midfielder we have. Even then the balance has to be right. Palace would be the model I'd look at in terms of acquisitions.
