Adam Reach and Jordan Rhodes have been released by Sheffield Wednesday along with a number of other players. Both would be no brainer signings for Town.
This close Season is probably as good as any to be building a squad from scratch given how many Club’s are under financial constraints and clearing out players.Trouble will be sorting the wheat from the chaff!In Cook we trust?!

Whilst undoubtedly a good player, he's one of a number of strikers over recent years to have lost out due to the fashion of playing only 1 striker upfront. Whilst different players it's a similar situation to Sears, in that in a 2 upfront you have a very good players but can't really play as the lone striker or in the wide forward positions.
I could be wrong but due to the formation Cook wants to play I doubt Rhodes will be on his wishlist

I always thought the Bradley deal was possibly a step too far for us. It is going to be one helluva sales pitch to get established Championship players to drop down a level to a mid-table League One club, which is what we are after the last couple of years. And that’s despite the investment.
Hopefully we won’t see a pattern of Championship players using us as leverage to get better deals at their existing clubs.

Hard pass for me. We shouldn't be replacing injury-prone players with more injury-prone players, and Wilshire is the personification of injury prone. Defoe seems unrealistic, but you think he'd score a lot of goals in League One for next season. I doubt we'd get him. I see Charlie Wyke is possibly available on a free after a very productive scoring rate for Sunderland last season. If we can sign him, that would be as good a statement signing we can possibly make at this level. But again, I think a few Championship clubs would be sniffing around him and you'd think he'd prefer to move up a level rather than slog it in League One for at least another year.
Charlie Wyke couldn't step up to the Championship. He's just not a very good player but he's been playing in a side that ensures him simple finishes and he still misses his fair share of them.
I'd happily let you take him from us as I expect to be bringing in better for next season with the money we have now.
Getting in those good positions is half the job of a striker and finishing them 30 times is beyond our wildest dreams at Town at the moment.
Did we even create 30 chances last Season?!
According to TWTD:
Accrington centre-forward Colby Bishop and Hull City skipper Richie Smallwood are the latest players to be linked with the Blues.

A quick google of ‘Gareth Bale Ipswich’ provides this gem from 2012:
“Elliott Hewitt, who is set to become Town’s first signing of the summer, is a player very much in the mould of fellow Welshman Gareth Bale, according to those who watched him during his time with Macclesfield.”
