    Have to say i'm a touch surprised that people think we can get away with signing around 5 players. Look at our squad, how many of them would you personally be comfortable starting games in the PL if the ultimate goal is survival not just making up the numbers?

    I'm currently at 11 with a couple of maybes. I have excluded Jobe as he is seemingly gone.

    Mayenda
    Isidor
    Mundle
    Le Fee
    Neil
    Rigg
    Cirkin
    Hume
    Ballard
    O'Nien
    Patterson

    Alese and Huggins are maybes, I think they have the ability to be PL players though.

    I know some are going to be calling for Roberts to stay but if he's our starting right winger in August we are in big trouble. Move him on.

    I'm pretty sure we'll be bringing in around 10 players. I'd rather the likes of Aleksic be out on loan playing 2000+ minutes as well so that creates more space.

    Was really good last year, not as good this year but would be a pretty smart pick up price dependant. Good on the ball, his defensive numbers don’t have him engaging a lot but I’m putting this down to playing in a 3 back system both years

    I remember he was rated very highly, definitely didn’t fit such an attacking system as Atalanta.

    We won’t play like Atalanta we’d get absolutely shambled every week if we tried.

    Lads a unit though, and has pace too for a big CB

    Maybe RLB is considering his 3 back system from lorient, he would give us that option

    Dont know about that mate. I do know we can have a squad of 25 and as many u21s as we want on top. We do need to watch the homegrown rule but we should be ok if we keep most. Patto, Cirkin, Ballard, Neil, Roberts, Onien count. If we have a full 25 man squad we need 8 I think.

    Reckon we’ll be back in for Tommy Doyle?

    Surely leaves Wolves this summer, only started 1 game in 2025

    Biggest talent at the club imo and in a position that attracts the big money!

    He is so good, creates problems whenever he receives the ball!

    Could be the next Dembele for me. Loves to run, can pass, eye for goal.

    Lad has it all.

    Injured in recent weeks but he’s only been getting a few minutes when he has featured. 24 PL appearances for the season, mostly as a sub

    Good player wouldn’t be against it, their manager speaks positively about him just doesn’t fit his system so lack of games it’s as big a concern and it could be for me

    We have to start asking ‘is it an upgrade’ and I don’t think it is.

    We can’t **** about with maybes here.

    I’m thinking Odegaard mate. Dutch league rebuilt his career.

    Could see him having a big impact for a second level team like an Alkmaar or Twente

    I think we will sign close to 10 but I want us to focus on quality as well. For me that means signing 5 or so real quality players then bringing players in to add depth to the squad

    I don't want to do what Ipswich did and sign lots of good championship players.

    Twente would be good as losing their best player this summer
