Thought the same. Or Ben Davies, although think @Skybluebeliever said a young centre back... Davies probably isn't young in footballing terms.

Is that three potential loans at LWB, LCB, and ST then? Just Palmer in permanently?

Howley looked miles off in his cameo last season.

Yes think so

L2 loan then maybe?

We will do , the challenge is to keep it to one and make sure we keep Vik
Have to say in the games I saw him play he seemed to do quite well. Nothing amazing, but holding his own. It's only my opinion but I think he'll be a top player.

I’m in the same thought, would be happy with this as looked excellent in our games against Preston.

I could live with Hamer leaving for the right fee and some investment across the squad

I know U23s is a completely different standard, but he looked the part in the final against Bristol City. He was a class above. Bapaga was very good, but Howley was the only one I was confident about getting into the first team.

That's the problem though. What is the investment going to be? If we are accepting Hamer is probably gone, you would hope that fee would bring us in three or four really decent players. If it doesn't then the riot at CCC offices for even contemplating giving Wasps money are going to have to swing by the CCFC headquarters as well!

If two or three of the U23s step-up and help fill the squad that would be huge. Frees up wages for quality not quantity in first team recruitment.
Question to those who watched the U23s a fair bit last season; if you had to pick three to move up to the first team squad, who would you go for?

I think the club knowing JCS and having him for a season and him getting on well with the squad was always going to put him in prime position .

Is it a loan centre back from a top 4 team?

I think there will be a couple of fringe players signed but I think there could be 2/3 loans in these positions

I assume this would be why Dave Boddy said the goal was to stay up? Minimal investment - are we likely to see more next season? In terms of transfers

Callum Doyle, Dishon Bernard, Tedan Mengi, Sepp Van De Berg, Rhys Williams, Ben Davies, Levi Colwil, Daniel Ballard
I think are the realistic options on loan fitting the bill from SBB

I think you could see more activity in January, I have a feeling MR will not get much to invest this window but will do in future windows . Also think this could be a few players last season

I've got a feeling we might be in for Ballard.

Why would that be @Skybluebeliever? Appreciate because of the number of contracts being extended before the end of the season we are probably in a good place with the lack of churn of players so there probably isn't a huge amount of free wages still. Would a Hamer sale not change this in your view?

I think so
Is there actually any interest in anyone apart from Vik though?

Arsenal looking to sell him permanantly, Sheffield United are the front runners

Would have been a permanent rather than a loan, knows the team, the style etc. & was very good in it. He would have always been top priority

Callum Doyle would fit the bill

I don’t think so , think the sale will put money back into club/Sisu to “catch up” from the last 2/3 seasons , we haven’t sold a player for a couple of seasons and we budget to sell one a year and with covid etc . Think MR understands this but if he needs to bring players in future windows he has a bit of collateral . I think if more than one goes this would change

He would be decent, was on loan at Sunderland last season.

Thats not good to hear.
I think this is going to turn quite quickly with supporters soon if we have a poor window.
We've done what we've been asked with Merchandise, Ticket sales, season tickets, etc
When people dont see that being reciprocated i can foresee the honeymoon period finishing

I think it’s such a shame having to let one of the 3 go, even if it’s Hamer, a midfield 4 of Hamer, Sheaf, Palmer, and O’Hare with Vik uptop would cause real problems, if we kept them and added a decent CB and LWB, the “Starting 11” could be a real prospect.
