    that’s a reason to potentially not renew his contract but until then he’s unlikely to generate more than £1-2m in transfer fee and I think he brings value beyond that.

    O’Nien remains for me but not as a starter. That’s regardless of division too

    Wouldn't say its sentimental reasons, he doesn't have to start and provides more depth across the back 4 than anyone else in the squad - certainly not the first defender I would be wanting to move on.

    He also sets standards off the pitch etc. in a season of expected high turnover of players I think leadership from him will be key

    I’m far from O’Nien’s biggest fan but we’d be daft to get rid imo

    we are all in agreement that we will need

    GK, CBX2, FB, CM LW RW and 2 out n out big bastard str8kers

    I disagree on the 2 big bastard strikers. Maybe one. Don’t want to block Mayendas development

    Mayenda should be the starting striker next season. He'll probably have interest this summer as well.

    RB
    CB + 1 more if someone leaves
    LB

    Now I think about it, it would be a bit easier if for example we signed a LW who can play RW or a ST who can play RW (not like wilson, but actually play RW) etc.

    Don’t agree. Mayenda and Isidor are good strikers that will get better

    No doubt about it. Clubs will be fully aware at how much he’s improved in such a short space of time

    agree

    we definitely need to sign a striker to “replace” Danns though. Unless Trey signs a new deal and is seen as ready.

    I dont want the overhaul some on here seem to want or assume we will get. We have the core of a top side, otherwise we wouldnt have pushed for top 2 so hard and so long.

    I would like us to evolve the squad, not revolutionise it. For me Jobe likely to go. Add that to the Watson dosh and we can be relatively big spenders. Having said that my first order of business would be good contracts for Neil if he can be persuaded, then the likes of Mayenda, Rigg, Mundle.

    If we have the core of Patto, Hume, Ballard, Seelt, ONien, Cirkin, Alese, Huggins, Neil, Rigg, Mundle, Roberts, Mayenda, Isidor we have a good base to go from.

    I would listen to offers for Browne, Poveda (probably just pay him off tbh), Hjelde, Anderson.

    I would like another CB, ideally Mepham. Replacing Jobe will be key. We wont get another profile like that, but I wouldnt mind targeting some pace in there. A new right and left winger. A new striker too. I think Danns comes here next season personally and would be excited by that. Then I suppose if we can use the loan market for a really creative playmaker I would do it, but I predict Rigg will blossom next season as an 8 and a creative side will emerge.

    agree they will improve but just them 2 ain't good enough especially if we get to premier league and even if we stay in championship need more than just 2

    Think Mayenda has a good chance at being one of the best in the championship next season if his development continues.

    Serious changes needed if we go up but that’s a possible conversation in a few weeks
