Hugill and A N Other coming in as well. This really must be the biggest overhaul we've had and we haven't exactly been short of them in recent years. Really hope we are patient with them because that's a lot of gelling to get done.

This is an absolutely massive overhaul of our team. Once the transfer window closes we will know the precise numbers in and out, but they will be very large.

We have committed to “A & B” and now we need to be patient for the long haul, hopefully even to “X, Y & Z”.

This needs to be at least a three year project and hopefully much longer, hopefully even a “Legacy”. The objective is to emulate the Leceister, Burnley, Southampton and Bournemouth models of long term sustainability with potential to reach and be competitive in the “Holy Grail” of the Premiership.

I really hope that we are able to develop a successful and entertaining style of play, as well as a profitable business model based upon a strong pipeline of developing players.

We as fans need will to see how this develops, but we really need to be patient and supportive.

I admit that I am quite optimistic that we are on the correct path and really hope that this will be successful.
 
I think what we are getting with a lot of these signings is players who have character and can be 'leaders' on the pitch, something we have lacked in recent seasons. Good examples for the youngsters who will be coming through as well. I'm a bit more optimistic we might actually string three passes together as well...:grin:
 
A bit bored, so I thought I'd have a go at trying to work out a likely squad of 22 after all the transfer deals. This seems to me to be what we will be working with, in 4-2-3-1 formation. The first named is who I think might be first choice for each position.

GK - Lumley, Kelly
RB - Kane, Rangel
CB - Barbet, Leistner
CB - Hall, Masterson
LB - Wallace, Manning
DCM - Ball, Cameron
DCM - Smith, Scowen
RAM - Amos, Shodipo
CAM - Eze, Chair
LAM - Pugh, BOS
ST - Hugill, Mlakar

I'm assuming that Luongo, Goss and Wheeler will be shipped out, but that Leistner may be staying after being involved yesterday.

What do you reckon?

That's a nice list, Stroller. I don't know many of the incoming guys at all so I'd be guessing based on their reputations. But what it does tell me is that it could be a good squad and we have decent cover for your first choices.

I reckon we've done some promising business in the transfer market this Summer.

Yeah, a lot of guesswork for us at the moment, but we have to assume Warburton knows what he wants.

It hasn't been dull, though.
 
Always look forward to pre-season transfers but this has gone beyond my expectations! Don’t forget stroller their is one more to come in!!

I think Shodipo will start wide right.
Hard to fit all the midfield players in.
 
No talk about Luongo anywhere, wonder where he's going to go?
Sure Dave Mac said there hadn't been any offers, a bit of interest but nothing concrete. I assume selling him will be key to us keeping within FFP but who knows. Wheeler and Goss will be gonners though.
