Mags linked with Morgan Gibbs-White. I hope he doesn’t go there. Really rate the lad and he’ll only get better.
The baffling thing is we didn't go for Whitaker in the summer, he was a bargain I'm struggling to think of ideal signings for centre mid, but someone who ticks all the boxes for me is John Lundstram, he's a free agent.
I made this suggestion on RTG. I get there'll be a few interested, but they could be ideal for us. Unfortunately our wage limits may limit us there.
Here's a few more out of contract players we could look at: Alex Mowatt, 29, WBA, Midfielder, approx £20k pw Callum O'Hare, 25, Coventry, Midfielder, approx £10k pw Jake Cooper, 29, Millwall, Centre Back, approx £11k pw Nathaniel Chabolah, 29, WBA, Centre Back, approx £25k pw Tyrese Campbell, 24, Stoke, Striker, approx £7k pw Joe Williams, 27, Bristol City, Midfielder, approx £10k pw Oli McBurnie, 27, Sheff Utd, Striker, approx £20k pw Alan Browne, 29, Preston, Midfielder, approx £19k pw Aaron Connolly, 24, Hull, Striker, approx £19k pw Liam Cullen, 24, Swansea, Striker, approx £2k pw Will Vaulks, 30, Sheff Wed, Utility Player, approx £8k pw Paddy McNair, 28, Boro, Utility Player, approx £24k pw George Saville, 30, Millwall, Midfielder, approx £16k pw Jordan Thompson, 27, Stoke, Midfielder, approx £5k pw https://not606.com/threads/summer-24-transfer-window.411635/page-9#post-17431681
If Szmodics is entering the last year of his contract, I'd love for us to go for him. Wouldn't come cheap, but goal scorers don't. Wasn't impressed with Whittaker against Leicester. Lacked composure, I thought. Might have just been a one off. I know a lot of Rangers fans and they all can't wait to get rid of Lundstram, so he wouldn't be one I'd like us to go for.
Szmodics has another year at Blackburn and it looks like they're staying up so would rightfully want top dollar for him.
