Spot on and I would realistically be happy with another avoid relegation season so we can continue to buildLots and probably not.
GK and two CBS and a LWB is a must. Need a big strong striker and an AM/Winger or two depending on how Jones comes back.
Doable with loans but we’d need to spend to get the really good ones, looks like you need to spend upwards of £1m per player and £10k/week wages, if we’re going to be the next fish up the chain from where we were in L1, we need to be buying the types of players we were selling: Wilson, Maddison, McCallum, Bayliss, Chaplin. All went for £1-3m up front plus add ons.
So I’d say to do it properly you’re looking at £10m+ investment in fees and a wage budget of at least £15m/season. And I can’t see Sisu providing either of those.
Best we can hope for is same again: a couple of signings around £1m, a couple of cheap gambles, the odd free, a full compliment of loans.
Taking the same fees as last summer:
£1.3m on Hamer -> GK
£900k on Walker -> CB
£600k on Sheaf -> LWB
£0 on O’Hare -> CM (James)
Cheap gambles (Hilßner, Dacosta) -> AM, CB
Loans -> AM, ST, CB, others
No, I do it with my football team thoughIs that something you do before having a shit ?
I read it as premonition push.Is that something you do before having a shit ?
We will likely have to sell one of Hamer or O'Hare to create some budget.
We have relied on Sam McCallum for two seasons still only twenty backed up by Ryan Giles similar age for a year, Josh Reid similar age has played a number of games in the Scottish premier league so let’s give him a fair chance I’m hoping we can pull safe in the next three games so we can give him two or three games this season.He is only 18 (19 next month). Hope he makes it, but it would be daft to rely on a lad of that age nailing down that position for the season. The other lad Newton is promising too, but again - very inexperienced.
Having seen both play I think Newton probably edges it but suspect Reid will be put ahead of him. Not sure either yet have the physical attributes to be ready for the Championship, but both are young and have time. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sam return again next season, he’s not premier league standard at this time and so would assume Norwich will want him out again.
I think there are a number from our young U/23 talent ready to seriously knock our first team squad door. Josh Eccles, Declan Drysdale, Will Bapaga, Josh Reid, the new lad Ricardo Denanga from Cork and the yet unknown entity Fabio Tavares plus one or two others I’m upbeat for next season, need to sign some experience definitely a goal scorer, goalkeeper, a left sided CB and Leo Østigård.
I think we can do okay next season.
Looks a battler on the highlights on quest each week.Drysdale could become more than cover
Not sure I agree with that bit - I thought you could only spend a % of player sales. Given likely low player values, why undo part of what has strengthened us this season. Our income will be bigger next season, being back at The Ricoh; shrewd loans, out of contract players, plus moving on Baka etc would be my way forward (without knowing the financials)
They are the rules in league one and two. They are different in the championship, its based on losses, you can make a max loss of £13m per season, and losses are assessed over 3 seasons, so you can make up to £39m losses over 3 seasons.

What it could mean we could afford better quality loans which would cost higher wages, a bit like Villa did when they borrowed Abrahams, his goals no doubt won them promotion.So we can bid £15m for Osti, £15m for De Gea, Walsh on a free and save the rest for the January transfer window. Good news!
Is Walsh injured again or just not making the squad?

Injured I think - although nothing serious iirc, although given the time out, it's a bit worrying. Interesting to see which clubs are likely to take a risk on him given the last 12 months.Is Walsh injured again or just not making the squad?
