Out of them lot I would only want to take a chance on Fer and Adomah, the rest are either past their best, mercenary types or haven't done enough to warrant a big wage like Wilson.
I know I posted Ben Whiteman the other day but I wonder if Bowyer will enquire about Herbie Kane on loan. 7 goals and 9 assists last season, started in 42 of Doncaster's league games or something like that, got in the team of the season and let's be honest he ain't getting anywhere near that Liverpool team so a championship loan could be on the cards. Expect him to link up with McCann at Hull again but I would like him here.
I think the 5 loans need to be prioritised on a left back to cover page, a versatile defender, two midfielders in the Bielik and Cullen mold and then the dream loan Nketiah who can play the wings and as a forward
If we were to snap up Amos, Oztumer, Williams and maybe Eaves that covers all our attacking and goalie problems. Reckon we will rely heavily on the loan window again for two good centre mids
Hopefully we use that compensation fee to add to what we offered Jonny and the wages freed up by Fosu gets Oztumer in. That's how it should go and that will be cracking business
Lots of decent free agents still about if we somehow get the takeover done in time - Mo Diame, Joe Ledley, Danny Simpson, Albert Adomah, Bakary Sako, Leroy Fer, Ashley Williams, James Wilson would all do a job in the championship
Genuinely think all those players would want at least 4 times what we can offer.
Not sure it would be good for team spirit if after the takeover we recruited someone and paid them 4 times what everyone else in the side was getting. It's a tricky balance to keep
We won't do that.
And who's to say all of those players listed above, will get offered 4 times the money anywhere else? If any of those are still out of work come deadline day, then they might just take whatever is on offer.
Don't like the sound of that. LB and JJ want players who will buy into what they are trying to achieve on the next leg of the 'journey'. The last thing they need are people who are just going to go through the motions and take the dosh.
To be fair if Lee was to sign one of those free transfers I think we could be safe in the knowledge that the player hasnt been signed on a whim but has been signed because we know there is still a job they can do

I believe we have already enquired about Kane. Would be a decent loanee but Hull might be a good shout.
Someone text me about Garbutt over the weekend but I believe he got the ‘info’ from a random Facebook or twitter rumour.

Knowing Roland we've enquired over the wrong Herbie!!

Garbutt looked to have a bright future at one point. Regular for England youth sides. Great left peg. Problem seems to be a lack of development and injuries. I think he'd be worth a punt, but it would be a concern given that Page's biggest problem has also been injury. If you can keep him fit, he's a good signing.
"To bring in people to create chances and to win us the ball back. We need midfielders and we need cover for the left back because we’re not going to make that mistake again with what we did last year so we need a bit of cover with Lewis Page, we need the competition on that side.
"We’re going to bring in another goalie to give Dillon Phillips competition, we need healthy competition all over the pitch so if we do lose someone through injury or suspension, then we have a good replacement for someone to step in. We need a bit of everything really, someone to provide goals and someone to defend and win the ball back in the middle of the park so we have good players already but we need to add for competition."

don't worry, we've only been waiting 10 years for one of these. Even last season we didn't really have a "goal creator" in midfield. Most of our goals we either set up by Grant for Taylor to score or vice versa. Probably best one atm is Morgan.
Saw Tracy Leaburn today in Eltham Lidl, she brought four tooth brushes.
Why would she bring 4 toothbrushes to Lidl ...... ?
I can see the confusion I have caused, she bought four toothbrushes, as well as various meaty products. She was giving Carl lessons on how to load a conveyor belt, heavy things should go at the front etc.
She actually brought the toothbrushes home (theirs not mine).
Unless you live at the Leaburns’, it would be more accurate to say she took them home.

That's promising then, Kane and JFC should be good enough if we can get JFC back to his best. If we could grab Kane and Cullen on loan that would be fantastic and eliminate our midfield issues
I’m pleased LB recognises the need to bring in midfielders who can win the ball back. Bielik and Cullen were the two that did that for us in spades last season

Don't like the sound of that. LB and JJ want players who will buy into what they are trying to achieve on the next leg of the 'journey'. The last thing they need are people who are just going to go through the motions and take the dosh.
e.g. Darren Pratley...

Bit old but good experience

bloke at the back of that photo looks like he could FILL the left back slot
