How did it go for Windass? For Campbell? There's a few instances where it's gone reasonably well I would have thought.
Windass was very different. Local lad coming home.
Campbell different too, although more similar in terms of being a fans favourite for obvious reason. Only here a year on loan (I think?) first time and hadn’t been established as one of the best in his position in the PL before he came back.

Whatever player we target there is a player already playing in that position.

The players should relish the competition. Plus as has been proven this season you never know what's going to happen with injuries
I agree 100% with the principle, but for me left back is one of only maybe two or three positions where we have a youngish player with real potential to make it big with us, or sell on for a decent profit if we come down again. On that basis I’d be targeting other areas for the big money signings, whilst obviously looking for a decent back up for less cost.

Potentially all sold/loaned out again? Should net us maybe 10-12m?

Then what about

Phillips
Famewo
Jacob
Gyabi
Drameh
Akintola
Dowell

Probably need shifting too? Would get a reasonable chunk of wages off the books and maybe some ok fees in. Am I forgetting any others?

Then you have
Amir
Collyer
Yu
Lundstrum
Gelhardt
Koumas

I would think we may look at signing Amir, Gelhardt, maybe Koumas back on loan (though doubtful in prem) not sure I'd bother with Collyer, Yu or Lunny.

PL starters we already have in my mind would be Hughes, Giles, Belloumi, maybe McBurnie at a stretch and I wouldn't be against giving Slater a crack at it. But other than that I think we need an improvement in GK, a second CB, RB, attacking midfield, winger and a striker. Priority for me is probably in midfield and for some reason I just keep coming back to someone like Calhanoglu as Acun's version of getting Xhaka.
Humberside interview with Dublin ahead of the final he intimated he hoped Collyer would be back with us next season regardless of the division.

There's a player there, if he can sort his fitness out.

The longest we have survived in the PL is two years. How do you target going beyond that? Some clubs yo yo. Some clubs slip into oblivion (Luton) and others have stayed up for years (Leicester in the past).
Having a solid financial basis is the key, the first time we went up we were an absolute basket case financially and the fire sale in the summer after we first stayed up was a total shambles.....2nd and 3rd time.....that's all thanks to ****nut 1 and ****nut 2 who deliberately sabotaged the club.....that sliding doors moment when they ****ed the sale to the american geezers then Bruce left and we started the season with 11 senior outfield players was just mental.....if we'd had sensible owners in place who'd invested in a manager like Silva in the summer and the players he wanted we'd have stayed up comfortably that year an who knows, could still be there now
 
Obviously impressed with Dublin’s recruitment so far will this be his biggest job/budget he’s worked with?
 
Out of the Championship, I'd like to see:

Hamer
Vipotnik
V. Johansson
Krama
Sturge
Coburn
Hackney
Louza

Obviously not all of them but I'd be happy with any of them.

Think we're going to buy a lot of pace going by Serge's comments.

I'd be taking a look at Tymon.

Many folks championship left back of the year.

Would be an interesting battle with Giles.

The former player thing may be because it's a name people know and have seen what they can do in the Premier league. Safer than Pera Peric from the Croatian league.

Regarding Robertson why leave Liverpool to go to Spurs? In my view he either stays at Liverpool or goes off piste and outside the box could be us or somewhere in Scotland.
Liverpool have released Robertson
 
I’ll leave who we actually bring into the club to those in charge but strengthening our midfield and focusing on keeping the ball better as a unit has to be points to our game we’ll surely work on. Keeping possession and bossing games is vital in any league but with so many match winners in the Premier League you cannot invite teams on without eventually paying the Price.

Just saying..


UTT.
 
215m before parachutes, I’d be very surprised if we didn’t splash towards 100m and it absolutely is a great plan if you manage to stay up. Don’t have to spend loads on **** but 15m young talents from Europe alla Brentford is absolutely the way to go and we need 8+ of them.
I don't think that's before parachutes, but it is quoted at the minimum guaranteed.

Obviously if we stay up the first season then that will unlock an extra season of parachute payments should we come back down.
