So I’d get an AM in until Jan for example to give O’Hare space to come back. Similarly I’d probably loan our Tavares and Godden would get limited games, so you’d really got three fighting for two spots at AM and ST, middle personally i think still looks light and I’d have let Kelly go and got cover for Hamer in. Wingbacks on the right both Tats and Lats can play multiple positions so should get game time. Same with Bidders if perhaps we forego a backup LCB.
I don’t think it would be too tough to keep everyone happy.
I agree don't think Palmer and Allen are enough at CAM, especially when playing 2 behind, and even with Sakamoto as cover who may well be needed at RWB at the same time. A loan option there would certainly be useful.
At forward it's tough, I think you need 2 championship quality goal scorers even if you plan on often playing one up top - what if Simms gets injured. If Godden goes someone needs to come in, if he stays it would be an interesting call whether he could play that 2nd striker role. There needs to be third striker cover and can't be Tavares.
It's fine to cover multiple defensive positions with the same player, but you don't want a combination of injuries where Latibeaudaire has to cover somewhere and there's no options at RWB, for example. I thought the 5 CB options last season, with Panzo and Rose, was comfortable but less than that would have felt like a squeeze. "IF" Bidwell can do a good enough job at LCB then I guess 4 would do. At the moment we have one. I'd prefer to have only 1 CB on loan.
I think defensive midfield is good and am happy with Kelly in there.
Based on above:
+1 CAM loan
+1 Forward perm
+1 Forward loan (if Godden goes)
+1 RWB perm/loan
+3 CB (mix perm + loan)
