Goalkeepers: Ben Hamer John Sullivan Nick Pope -would probably be used primarily in 'Development Squad', but also as 3rd choice. Defenders: Michael Morrison (CB) Matt Taylor (CB) Leon Cort (CB) Yado Mambo (CB) Would probably be used primarily in 'Development Squad'? Chris Solly (RB) Lawrie Wilson (RB/RM) Rhoys Wiggins (LB) Cedric Evina (LB/LM) Midfielders: Danny Hollands (CM) Dale Stephens (CM) Bradley Pritchard (CM) Andy Hughes (CM) Johnnie Jackson (LM/CM) Danny Green (RM) Scott Wagstaff (RM) Forwards: Bradley Wright-Phillips Yann Kermorgant Jordan Cook (LM/RM) Danny Haynes (RM) Paul Hayes Leon Clarke Would you sign a left sided player in addition to Cook, who can supposedly play across the front three? I don't know enough of him to judge whether he is strong enough as an attacking left-winger to play there if Jackson were to play in the middle. Would you sign an additional centre-back? This for me depends on how far Yado Mambo has come since he last played for the first team. If he has improved enough to be used as back up and potentially a starting player later in the season, then I don't think we do need another. But if not, I am not sure whether Taylor will be up to Championship football, and that would leave us with only two strong centre-backs, one of whom is beginning to come of age. I hope we find some way of getting rid of Leon Clarke before September, and I also hope Paul Hayes stays on, as he could prove to be very useful this season. Any other positions worth considering strengthening that I haven't touched upon? Discuss.
Well we've got striker Jordan Cook coming in, a very good addition I'm led to believe by reading Carlisle fans comments. It hardly gets a mention on here, still unfounded social media gossip is more important to some people on here. http://www.cafc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10267~2836118,00.html
We've also got Michael Smith up front Jeffers, although it remains to be seen how bad that injury was.
The article does make mention of cook I think we need cover on the left, centre mid and perhaps another striker in the mould of BWP.
Think a new LM and move JJ inside. Then another CM and a quick CB Osbourne maybe and im happy. Hopefully Aluko as new LM (We can hope) Another striker (Baldock) would be a bonus
A left sided midfielder please Mr Powell. Hopefully the rumour about Conor Henderson coming on a season loan isn't complete fantasy.
He fits in to CP's type of player in that he can cover a couple of positions. He would be a great acquisition but it has gone quiet on that rumour.

I purposefully left out those who I thought would most likely be in a development squad, as I don't think it's likely they'll play, i.e Ruben Bover, Michael Smith and Callum Harriott. I put Pope in the first-team squad as we have only 2 senior goalkeepers, and Mambo as only 3 other centre-backs.
I think mambo is going on loan to a league team. Sure that's what he said. So a centre back will be required, though I think Cort and Morro is a good starting partnership. A young loan would do the job.
