Dont think we'll be signing too many more permanents apart from Oztumer. Then it will be loans only.......but don't think Cullen or Beliek will be back. Same goes for Williams as I'm sure he'll get a better offer elsewhere before the season starts.
If we can sign Oztumer then we're a lot closer to the squad depth we had last season and that makes me a lot more comfortable than how I felt at the end of May - Yes I had faith in Bowyer and Gallen but definitely didnt expect them to make the permanent signings of Purrington | Aneke | Lockyer (Bonne is still untested), definitely didnt expect them to be of that level and we could of course still bring in Ben Amos and Jonny Williams on permanent deals too
Not sure we'll be seeing either Bielik or Cullen this year think both players will be sold by there respective clubs and for a lot more than we can afford

Both clubs would be stupid to sell this summer, neither Arsenal or West Ham are desperate for cash and 1 good season in League 1 wont make the clubs offer millions and millions.
Loan to a top Champ or lower prem team, then of they have another good season could sell for a lot more next season

Except Bielik didn't just have one good season in League 1.
He was outstanding in the U21 championship for Poland.
In an absolute ideal world, in my opinion, players for us to bring in would be something like:
Peter Shilton in his early 30s
New CB (Possibly Beckenbauer or Moore if he's not available)
Krystian Bielik (If not at centre back, then in defensive midfield)
Fat Ronaldo before he was fat
Harry Kane
Messi
Maradona aged 26
Zico
Yes, as proven by your sarcastic response.
Each one of the players mentioned in my post have been linked to us this summer and I would say we are interested in every single one of them.
That doesn’t mean we will sign them. But they play in the positions we need and they’re all good players, all players who fit into the ethos of young enough, hungry and wanting to prove themselves in the Championship.

No way is Solly a champ starter at right back, and Bonne who is coming from non league isn’t a starter. Even Aneke is coming from league 2.
I would expect
Phillips
Djiksteel Pearce Sarr Purrington
JFC New Signing (Loanee) New Signing (Loanee)
New Signing (Oztumer?)
Aneke Taylor
Subs: New Signing (Amos?), Solly, Lockyer, Morgan, Pratley, New Signing (Williams?), New Striker Signing

There was nothing wrong with your suggestion, Cullen, Bielik and Nketiah are looking unlikely now but still players we have been linked with or played for us. Most likely out of the 3 probably Cullen

My line up was a mixture of the pre-season friendlies we've got coming up and the areas we may need to strengthen if certain things dont work
i.e. I'd put Dijksteel in at Defensive Midfield if we cant get anyone else in, whereas we desperately need another loanee in Midfield (as mentioned) as cant see Lapslie etc. being ready

And next year, they can both leave for nothing.
He'll surely be offered a new contract, if he accepts he may go out on loan again. Whether we get him I don't know.

”Club X are signing Player A from Club Y on an N year deal, according to sources”
Just throwing out random crap to see if eventually they’ll land one spot on so they can be funny and claim they were ITK all along.
I think it's even less serious than that and whoever's running it isn't even trying to pretend to be ITK.

Ben Amos
New CB (Possibly Bielik, allowing another midfielder)
Krystian Bielik (If not at centre back, then in defensive midfield)
Josh Cullen
Herbie Kane
Jonny Williams
Erhun Otzumer
Eddie Nketiah
Even if it is just Bielik in both CB (fourth choice) and DCM (first choice) roles like last season
