Standard new PL team stuff wouldn’t it? Couple of top Championship players, couple of loans, couple of foreign gambles.

Bar Gyokeres, Hamer and Sheaf we'd need an entire new team really.

O’Hare might come back the same in which case I’d say him as well, but yeah.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

The income from the next couple (or 3 ) games might be a help in stretching the budget to tempt Gus / C O'H etc to put pen to paper . If not, it helps towards the squad next season, regardless.

If O'Hare's agent has even half a brain then it shouldn't take too much convincing for him to sign a contract. In fact, if anything, I wouldn't be shocked if he'll make the first move.

Just madness having spent all that time and really enjoyed your take on what we need to get into the playoffs next season and here we are in the play offs think uh about what we might need for the premier league

Fadz has his contract
Eccles and sheaf the same

If we go up I wonder if robins would regret giving fadz a new contract

Have to say he was excellent again yesterday but is made better with McNally and Doyle improving as they have

Wouldn't have thought he'd regret it. He'll be a cheap Premier League squad player with leadership abilities.

And who’s to say he wouldn’t improve again as they all seem to year on year

Id have him as a defensive coach anyway TBH. And who knows he might stay young king enough to appear for us if we get relegated.

I don’t think giving McFadz a new contract is a regret at all.

Players like Kelly and McFadz are instrumental as leaders in the Group and will both remain important even if we got promoted.

They wouldn’t play much, but they’re still an important fabric of the team spirit. They will need to be replaced eventually, of course.

 

[Alkhen]

McNally is technically a PL player but as he's in this league rn, I'm picking him. He's priority no. 1 for me. Defence since Jan has been immense. After him, take a punt on Obafemi from Swansea if Burnley don't pick up their option. Reckon Robins and co. could turn him into something special. Bloke's pace is terrifying and we don't have that. Need it as an option whatever league we're in. Will Smallbone as the third. Ran the show for Stoke. It was like Chris Marsden all over again.

Smallbone is the only player I saw run the show against this season. That performance in the 0-4 battering really shone for me.

 

[Matt smith]

And? City rate him highly and for now he's part of their plans. If they were to sell him it would likely be for a massively inflated fee.

I was suggesting him on loan

 

[Boosh]

Luke Cundle

 

[ptr]

If…IF we got promoted, I’d like to see us keep most of them. Fadz, Kelly, Godden etc - even as squad players

Actually hate it when teams go up and rip their squad apart. They can’t compete with established prem teams when trying to buy players so end up buying crap from abroad that are no better than what they’ve got. Seen it happen too many times over the years. A huge gamble.

We have built our squad on honest, hardworking players striving to be the best they can be or better. I’ve enjoyed seeing their journey and long may it continue. Plus…would love to see Fadz nail some of these premier league strikers. Add it to yes, but let’s not demolish a squad that has been in development for quite some time now.

 

[SleepyGinger]

We’d need a whole new squad bar a handful of players, no place for sentiment. I think we’d still be savvy in the market and wouldn’t overpay on older players on massive wages like Forest and others have done.

Agreed although Waghorn and Hilssner say hello

 

[Seaside-Skyblue]

Josh Bowler from Forest - was at Blackpool on loan.

Interesting, only 2 domestic loans we’d be in for a shock

Yes but a couple from Madrid and Barca would see us right

He has been pretty dire for Blackpool all year.

While I agree about not overspending on older players and massive wages, I think there's a lot to be said for squad camaraderie and so keeping some of those who will, at best, be bit part players but are popular within the group would be a productive thing to do. In the grand scheme of PL wages they're not likely to take up much of the budget. Especially when you consider a player such as Lingard is rumoured to be getting millions in signing on fees and £200k pw but doesn't look arsed.

We'd need to sign half a dozen good quality players alongside the ones we've got to be competitive, along with a similar amount of good up and coming players from the Championship to hopefully develop or, if necessary, give us a good squad with which to fit for promotion again.

 

[SkyblueDad]

The premier wages wise is a whole different ball game £20k a week that’s a million a year is what the best under 21s are on. Wage bill for 25 player first team squads are well over £50 million a year.

We need half a dozen defenders plus a goalie.

No idea how feasible this is, but that’s why I’d be focusing on top end Championship talent and selling it as a season opportunity to test yourself and put yourself in the shop window. Low wages, relegation release clause, don’t go in competing with the established clubs.

Or try and copy Brighton

 

[fernandopartridge]

As much as he isn't quick you'd still keep McFadz if we got promoted in the starting 11 to begin with at least, you simply cannot just remove such an influential player. He also deserves his chance.

Robins doesn’t ever do that!!
Grimmer was the big example of that for me but there’s others

No one respects McFadz more than me not even sure he would be first choice if we remain in the championship, but if in the premier no chance up against the likes of Haaland, Salah, Rashford plus others, one golden rule in football, no sentiment he’d be exploited in minutes by world class players. Robins has proved a few times he is not sentimental

We won’t, but transfer fees for as you say for top end championship players won’t be chicken feed, haven’t Brighton just been linked with a £30million bid for Swansea‘s Piroe, and our own Vik being touted at £20/25 million too.

Norwich - the so called to yo club - had an £80 million wage bill and spent £50m on fees in the relegation season. Any player signing a contract in the league will through their agent be demanding big salaries

We don't play a high line so he's no more likely to be exposed by pace than he is currently. I think it says an awful lot than a Manchester City academy graduate credits him with a lot of his own development this season.

Yeah Mcfazdean would stay on merit. I think godden would look elsewhere anyway as he’s no way going to appearing in the premier league

With respect to ourselves we’d get thrashed at Man City and Liverpool no matter who we sign in defence. We outperform our budget in part down to team cohesion and familiarity, no point taking that away in my view.

I read somewhere if Norwich fail to return to the prem this time they could be in a financial meltdown they have some thing like 7/8 players alone on £30k+ a week wages.
West Brom are apparently worse, that wonga stile £20million loan they took out xmas time to fund a promotion push is going to cost £700k a year in interest. They have some high earners too.

 

[skybluegod]

McCarthy didn’t play him

Because he has been poor all year. He had his opportunities.

I have a number of Blackpool supporting friends and they have all said he hasn't been anywhere near good enough. Certainly not the player he appeared to be a couple years ago when he tore us to shreds.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Just seen Sonny Bradley is leaving Luton

If we're still championship next year he would be a superb signing
