I was talking about this to a pal earlier, we decided Gayle, Hayden, Murphy and Darlow would all be too signings for the Championship.

Not suggesting we will sign any of them but they’ve such a Championship squad.
Sounds like Darlow will be going to ‘Boro. Good solid championship GK and a definite upgrade for them.

Does anyone know what Alex Neil's history is with developing young players and giving them game time? Understandably he went with expirience in our situation to get us up. With a full pre season are we likely to see a lot more of Dan Neil next year for example? Did he bring in any good youngsters from the Prem when he was at Norwich or Preston or are we likely to be in the market for experienced 100+ game players?

He signed Ben Godfrey and James Maddison from York and Coventry as younguns when he was at Norwich
 
I believe we already have targets already in place and will have been working on them since before the play off final.

I'm quietly confident our recruitment will suprise us and be done early
100% agree with this. AN doesn't come across as a bloke who leaves things late or to chance, For the first time in MANY years we have a good solid manager and he should supported to the hilt by the board, which I think he will be
 
Barkhuizen from Preston was linked before the play offs, the player allegedly said him signing depended on how the play offs went, possibly more of a league one signing?
 
I thought Clarke had longer than a year on his contract at spurs, let’s go get him.
 
According to this we are still looking to sign Hoffman for around 600 euro

RON-TORBEN HOFFMANN / 23 / End of contract 2023
The Rostock native was on loan to FC Sunderland for the past season and was a top performer there from day one.

After four years in the third English league, the Black Cats now managed to return to the championship via the playoffs - also thanks to Hoffmann.

The 23-year-old therefore also feels very comfortable on the island and wants to continue playing regularly. An impossibility as long as Neuer is still under contract with the Bavarians. (NEWS: All news and rumors from the transfer market)

Hoffmann joined the Munich offspring from RB Leipzig in 2015 and worked his way with diligence and discipline from the U17 to the U19 to the first team of the FCB. However, he is still waiting for his professional debut with the Bavarians.

After the successful rise, Sunderland will probably now draw the purchase option for Hoffmann, which was negotiated in the loan business. This should be within its market value of 600,000 euros.

€600 is a bargain. At that price I might have a look about to see if I have any euros knocking about to chuck in to the fund! :emoticon-0142-happy

All seriousness he is a good business at 600k and worth getting in. Let the two young lads push each other for the first team.

We should 100% be looking at Clarke and Broadhead on permanent deals. I'd go for both in loan but with the caveat that I would be looking for someone permanent in their position as I want to build for the long term not short term.

I hope thats not true. Having our first and second choice Keepers under the age of 23 is a no from me. We need someone with experience and to help bring Patterson on. Keepers dont peak until their late 20s.

On top of that, i didn't see anything from him to suggest he'd be a success for us.

I get your drift, it would only make sense as an investment or cover for Patterson who is by far the better of the two. imo.
