High possibility 5/6 of those players you’ve listed aren’t here next season. 

Right. So all going well we ship on 5/6. So that gets us down to 24/25. Even then I think that’s too many and the conversation can still be how do we ship out another 1-2. Rather than beginning thinking about offering new deals to older players before we’ve even got those 5-6 out the door yet

He played 1,948 mins last season which over 32 games is about 60 mins on average per game. Can't build a midfield around that.

Nobody’s suggesting building a midfield around him but he’s a good player to have around the squad provided wages are sensible.

Wouldn’t really be counting King/Lowry and Devine either tbh these boys will be on a tiny wage id probably be looking at loans for King and Devine tbh.

Balogun prob available for free in the summer acc to the BBC, would take him back purely as a back up tomorrow. Low wage or pay for play. 

Helander for the off, which leaves us Goldson, Davies, Souttar. King is 19 and needs a loan. Balogun would give us 4 solid CH's. With Lundstram if he stays, as a 5th and last resort.

Mayo coming back as well

We will have continuity. Tav, Barasic, Goldson, Souttar, Lundstrum, Raskin, Cantwell, Sakala, Lawrence, Roofe etc will all be here. Thats a full team right there. celtic have 1 player (McGregor) still starting from the 55 season. 

Then at best we’ll probably only be able to shift about half of the Matondo, Davies, Hagi, Wright etc of the world 

Then you have King, Devine, Lowry etc coming through

The squad is fucking massive. We don’t need to be thinking about signing Arfield, Davis, Jack to new deals for continuity. Continuity of what? The shite mentality embedded in the squad?

We need to be going after quality players to win the title and younger talents with the potential to fund future investments.

We need to get this squad player/continuity idea in the bin

Surely if we offer jack a new deal, say its 15k a week thats 750k for the next year, rather than trying to find a new midfielder who'll cost a couple mill without wages

Shows you just how much we think of our centre halves and their reliability that we want 4 seasoned pros on decent wages incase of emergencies 

Fuck that

You’re not really counting on them. They’re squad players. King will be 4th or even 5th choice CB. Lowry will be behind Cantwell, Lawrence, Hagi, Tillman if we sign him. On top of whoever else we sign.

Tavernier barely misses a game. Devine should be good enough back up

[STEPPS BOY 75,271]

Balogun today and Aribo yesterday.

I refuse to believe there’s a support anywhere like us for wanting to bring ex players back to the club.

What’s the status on Lawrence? Is he back in training yet? Haven’t heard much.

Not heard but best guess would be he’s in his post op rehab programme.

Van Veen the only non scum player up for player of the year.

Regan Charles-Cook was nominated last year. Doesn’t mean he would have been a good signing for us either.

Last I heard, he wasn't expected back until the latter part of pre-season.

Had my post suggesting we bring John Fleck saved in my notes and ready to go. Cheers. Sons crying.

How about Josh Windass?

Had a great season in League 1, and Sheffield Wednesday’s season crumbled when he got injured, also scored their 2 goals against the high flying Newcastle.

Good prospect and potential imo.

Sad thing is he’d be a better option than anything available for Saturday

Does this actually happen in the bigger leagues anymore? Genuinely can't think of anyone who's been on this kind of deal in donkeys years

Guys offered less for QPR than Jack/Arfield have for us this season and people want him back.

Thought it was a shame that Balogun left but we absolutely should not be bringing him back.

Why buy a better player when we can keep a worse player for cheaper is half the reason we've ended up where we are.

[ShanksRFC 3,871]

Kane Hemmings has had a good year at Tranmere Rovers, 39 appearances and 8 goals. Surely worth a look bringing him back, a real target man.
