He definitely needs a run of games, he's a talented young lad. I'm just not sure he'll get that with us at present. Surely with Haks departure, that's made signing another winger the top priority, and it should have freed up a fair amount of space on the salary cap too. After that, we desperately need another midfielder, Slater's done better than expected but we still need somebody that can deputise for Honeyman. I know we went in repeatedly for Rathbone in the summer and I'd be surprised to see us go back in, but he's the type of player we need. I've seen Herbie's struggling at Barnsley, if they bolster in midfield we might be able to nick him on loan. Dan Crowley would be an excellent addition for us in midfield. Obviously, another striker wouldn't be bad but not sure I can see it.
In terms of outgoings, I think Batty and De Wijs are highly likely to leave. For Batty, we're okay for defensive midfielders in Smallwood & Jones and he's struggling to get much of a look-in. The lad needs games and I'm sure there will be interest in him. De Wijs is similar, he's not even making the squad now, contract's up in the summer like Batty so we may's well shift both early and get them off the salary cap so it gives us a little more wiggle room.
Can't imagine any others being allowed to leave (apart from kids), potentially Samuelson, but that would be entirely dependent on incomings.
