    Think he’ll develop into an excellent GK, still only 22

    Would also see one of our main PL rivals weakened…

    Fair point,there have been a few,I agree,.....Evans,Batth,Defoe among them, but I think they came in early on in this ownership. Not sure our needs are the same now....our dressing room is clearly a harmonious,together,committed and believing place,although I do think we're in for a tough challenge. Notwithstanding the fact we do need some quality additions,I think this coaching staff and these players will find a way.

    Do you think 5 would be enough for a 3 man midfield over 40+ games? We will need a couple of lads to cover injuries and suspensions even if they'll only rack up a few appearances.

    If people aren't including Browne in their thinking then at a minimum we need to replace Browne, Salis and Jobe in midfield. And that;s before you consider that Harrison Jones was on the bench for most of the end of the season.

    I think we need 4 central midfielders. Two quality ones and two more squad based but an improvement on Browne, with Jones and Aleksic being loaned out.

    Excellent points. I’d be worried having Browne and Jones regularly in the PL match day squad

    I’d be astonished if we sign 4. We’ve already got Neil, ELF and Rigg. I’d guess at two more coming in - three at absolute most. They also may look to give a chance to players already here.

    Two is the absolute minimum as we've lost two. I agree if Browne stays then we don't need to replace him. And then Harrison Jones and Aleksic might be retained as squad players but I don't think they're ready

    I can't see them actively stifling Aleksic and Harrison Jones. We'll sign 2, 3 at most as you've said.

    Le Fee, Rigg (Older and better), Neil, New CM, Henderson, Development CM then? I do like Aleksic though and you do eventually have to give someone a chance.

    Aleksic wasn’t fancied at championship level never mind the PL. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t out on loan

    I just think Aleksic could do with a year of playing. Perhaps a loan to Pompey like Aouchiche had.

    Hibs may be a shout? Defo earned our trust with Triantis

    Also with Jones and Aleksic, there's only 38 games next season, not 46. Their development will be much better playing 40 games in Championship or League One than making 8 sub appearances for us.

    Yeh Hibs is a shout. Would love to see Harrison Jones to Wycombe as well.

    Mayenda too even though he hardly played. They’re clearly trusted
