Yep maybe

Just feel CB is such a huge position at PL level and it's often where newly promoted teams go wrong. They either keep CBs that got them promoted or they sign championship CBs. I feel we need 2 then use Ballard, O9 and Seelt/Alese to compliment it. Then loan out Seelt or Alese and Hjelde.

Id lean towards keeping Seelt as I trust him more to stay fit, 1 really bad injury compared to multiple injuries from Alese. I'd love Alese to go and play week in week out in the championship and prove that he can stay fit as he's a talented player
I definitely trust the club, but I’d be inclined to get two centre backs and get Seelt a loan. I think a decent championship loan would do his development the world of good at his age ahead of being a 3rd or fourth option.
 
I’m not sure that’d be the move they’d want him to have where he couldn’t be guaranteed game time. Feel like he has a season in somewhere like Holland. I expect our loan to be someone a bit more established but has drifted down the pecking order. There’ll be a load at Chelsea for example.
Just looked and they’ve got about 7 first team centre backs on the books :emoticon-0102-bigsm badiashile fits the bill French and left footed, that’ll do

Mind I’m not sure how a random Italian newspaper will know what we fancy upping our bid too but don’t let that get in the way of being buzzing
 
Think the reason people want 2 CBs, myself included, is o9 is injured at thr minute, unclear when he will be back. Ballard has played 50% or less of our league matches in 2 of our 3 season and Seelt has played 19 senior games in his career. I would want 5 CBs due to that, I'd loan Alese and Hjelde out and keep the rest.

Think we need 3 CFs, I don't think Abdullahi is ready to be relied on our 3rd choice striker.

Id be hoping for

Cbx2
GK
CM (2 if neil goes or id get a RM)
Versatile forward
CF
If o9 suffers the same shoulder injury again i can see him calling a halt to his playing career.
 
Just on a business trip to Zurich and a player we are linked with staying there. He was quite tight lipped but said he was on a stop over before travelling to the UK. Thats all. Conversation didnt go on any further
This sounds like a development !

who do we know that has links to Switzerland hmmmm
