Transfer Rumour Summer 2024 (1 Viewer)

Presuming we’re staying in the Championship next season we need to still do a lot of work with this squad to enable it to compete at the top.

Goalkeepers:

Out: Wilson, Moore

In: Need to spend some decent money on a top keeper. It makes a huge difference. Need to find the next Kieran Westwood and the impact he made when we signed him. Johansson at Rotherham probably going to a Euro side in the summer but would happily take him:

Defenders:

Out: Binks, Jay Dasilva

In: probably two at the LB/LWB position. A younger Jake Bidwell type and a proper LWB option.

Also, we need someone more experienced than Thomas and a Fadz replacement. Likely to pair with Kitching.

Midfield:

Out: Sheaf. Controversial but not ever getting a full season is causing us issues. Also summer would be the time to get maximum value from him and continue the reinvestment.

CoH won’t be here so that is a decision that will be made by him.

Palmer: An enigma and isn’t the future. Move him off our wage bill.

Kelly: Writing is on the wall

In: The next Sheaf, the next CoH, some more cover in the DM and attacking mid position. Also look at another right sided winger.Left will be covered by Mas

Strikers

Out: Godden and Taveres. One isn’t at this level anymore and the later isn’t going to be at this level.

In: We need 2 strikers in, one being at a level they’re regularly scoring goals and the other an upcoming younger talent.

All in all a very busy summer.

I suppose with Sheaf, if he won't sign a new deal in the summer than realistically, we do need to replace him. Will be a big loss.

Wouldn't mind a few of the fringe players like Godden, Allen and Dasilva moved on and then we can bring in more quality in those positions.

Our first 11 is good but there's no depth. 1RW, 1RB, no backup LW (although EMC has been signed). We need an upgrade at RCB. Cover for LCB. A better LB. A better GK. A O'Hare replacement. Better CM options of the bench. 2 ST brought in.

That should leave us with:

GK - Collins, Wilson, New GK
CB - Thomas, Kitching, Latibeaudiere, New CB, New CB
RB - van Ewijk, Burroughs, New RB
LB - Bidwell, Dasilva, New LB
CM - Sheaf, Torp, Eccles, Allen, Howley, New CM
AM - Palmer, New AM
RW - Sakamoto, Tavares, New RW
LW - Wright, Mason-Clark, Rus
ST - Simms, Godden, New ST, New ST

Sell - Wilson, Dasilva, Godden
Loan - Burroughs, Howley, Rus

Would like to see Burroughs given a chance preseason before loaning him out , genuinely think he has a future with the club

As challenging for a place plenty of season where rotation is needed at both positions.

What do we think we’ll spend this summer?

AFCCOVENTRY said:

Foundations are there but there’s still a gap to be one of the top sides in this division.

This season has seen Leeds, Saints and Scum come down and made it a very difficult league. Next season will have lower quality teams coming down. Being realistic next year is a real chance to push for autos with more quality additions.

I think a lot hinges on the seriousness of Sakamoto’s injury. Also we have to consider how Burroughs and Howley are after their loans.
Looking at it now. I think we need a centre half, two if we don’t sign Binks. We need another left back. We need another winger, maybe two if Saka is out for a long time. We need a striker to replace Godden, a centre mid to replace Kelly, and an AM to replace O’Hare.
If we can bring in a better keeper then I think we should do so and then bin off Wilson.
Then maybe add a couple more outfield players for better squad depth

We need 2/3 first team signings

then 3/4 more for depth

fatso said:

We need far more than that.

In an ideal world, we would off load, Wilson, Moore, Dasilva, Binks, Kelly, Allen, Wright, Simms, Godden, and Tavares.

And our u23 squad would be completely overhauld.

But that's a lot to ask in 1 transfer window.
