I agree with all of this EXCEPT I think we need another striker in quickly. I hope that’s a big focus .I remember last season there were folk thinking we had given teams a 3 or 4 game headstart because they had signed loads of players and we hadnt. Lo and behold we won a lot of early games and were great.
One point I would make is brand new players usually take time to be first team ready. There are exceptions, but generally coaches want to give them time to get to know their new teammates and the way we play. Pre season is part of it, but not all. The real competitive games are a bigger part. Lets say we sign Rudoni, do we think he is a starter in game 1? I dont. I think our starting 11 are pretty much here, and in all likelihood Neil is giving the lads that went 15 unbeaten and got promoted the first few games anyway. That is how trust is built as a coach. Therefore I think we can afford to wait for the right players, because they will be coming into the squad, not the 11. Just my opinion.

I’m hoping Dan Neil steps up but definitely want more quality in there… Happy with our business so far but we’re way off currentlyA centre midfielder is our biggest priority. Nee good having quality up top if you’ve not a player to dictate the game and make things happen.
Agree with this, I hope Dan Neil will kick on but would be really worried if Evans got injured as no one else can play that role. I would love us to sign Max Bird for this role, he's only 22 but has loads of experience and will only get better.A centre midfielder is our biggest priority.

Surely thats Alex Pritchard? He is our playmaker. Then Embo in a similar role and Roberts and Clarke wide, two holders to spoil and break it up and then pass it back to these lads.
I agree with your point but it's always nice to have that option of someone bringing the ball out of midfield and make the opposition commit higher up the pitch than they would prefer
Like Dan Neil? Matete showed away vs Oxford that he can carry the ball forwards too.
I reckon that is all a lot of championship clubs can do. Financial pressures are biting for a few I bet. I would bet we are in the top 5 or 6 spenders this summer.We will use the loan market this year as well too don’t forget, which will probably be utilised in August. There are a fair few championship teams playing the waiting game to see who’s available.
There has only been five transfers last season that were £3m+ I think, and two of them were from Fulham? We reportedly paid around that for the initial fee on Jack Clarke, and have also forked out another couple of million on Daniel Ballard.I reckon that is all a lot of championship clubs can do.
