If/when Clarke signs, I’m guessing we’ll look to bring in Broadhead next. Then it’s a case of targeting squad improvements

- Goalkeeper
- Centre back (possibly Doyle on loan if he’s happy being more of a squad player)
- Left-back
- Centre-Mid (Rudoni? Camara?)
- Another forward player (probably a loan of a premier player later on in the window)

I'll put my tin hat on... I'm against signing Broadhead. Cracking player but far too injury prone for my liking.

I don't know much about Rudoni. I can't remember anybody ever standing out for Wimbledon whenever we played them. Camara caught the eye, I'd be very happy if we bring him in.

I can't say I'm against signing Broadhead but I wouldn't be disappointed if we didn't sign him. While I'm pleased with the players that we've brought in, I'm a little bit concerned with bringing all these loan players back that we're just reestablishing a League 1 squad. I'm not expecting Premier League players to sign but we do need to add some different qualities.

Still not sure on him but had we signed him from league 2 with those stats I think we’d be excited by him, see how he gets on in pre season and take it from there for me

Good point. I still don’t think he’ll make it here, hopefully he proves me wrong… I hope he gets some good minutes tonight against decent opposition.

He didn't look below the standard on his few runouts for us last season and considering all that was without really "settling down" into the team he has promise, but probably at that level?

Yeah that’s fair very similar to watmore for me all pace and little thinking, do think a loan in league one is for the best for him

Once Clarke’s signed even if it’s the lower fee of £3m that puts us behind only Burnley for fees paid this window so far. A lot of clubs obviously going to wait until later in the window but it’s certainly a middle finger to those in our fanbase who were saying we’ve got no money and we’ll only sign free transfers.. Or that we’re not going to sign anyone early in the window..

For the first time in f**king ages I’m excited about the rest of the transfer window.

What I’ve read today
This jorno seems to think diamond will push on in the championship and prove he is good enough
Imo he will be loaned out and I don’t think there will be room for him in the 18 man squad

I reckon he will be loaned out as well. There was also talk of him being part of the Rudoni deal as a part ex

Don’t quote me on this but I believe in the championship it’s a 25 man squad rather than 22 in league 1/2 so it’s important we fill that and don’t leave ourselves short. I’m still undecided on Diamond, I think another season out on loan, in league one this time, playing regular football would do him the world of good.

Plus you can make 5 subs this season.

Aye I know mate was just saying I think the overall squad registration might be 3 more than league one so he could fall into that bracket which would probably suit us in terms of having plenty of back up but not really what he needs to develop
