If our next 4 signings are Matthews, Koiki, Schwartz and Maddison then I'll be very happy. Still think we'd need a winger and another CB on top of that, and if I'm being greedy another striker
Expect the bench would be: Subs: M.Brewer, Oshilaja, Barker, Pearce, Pratley, F.Caskey, Loan Striker
Can see Pearce rotating with Famewo if Famewo can't play RCB (looks both footed so far)
Would expect that a good number of younger players will be loaned out.
This XI and formation at home the bottom half sides, yes, but we’d be so open against a Sunderland or Ipswich, if we do sign Maddison I see it more as this;

This.
Think we still need another 6 or 7, and that’s the positions I’d agree with too.

Not sure Koiki or Danish striker would be ‘significant’, Maddison maybe.
I'd say Schwartz would be a significant signing... Midtjylland pumped Slavia Prague 4-1 in the champions league yesterday and he was their top scorer last year

No Oztumer, Williams, Morgan or Aneke on bench?
Nah bin em.
Just kidding.
I think we'll see Morgan out on loan. Aneke will be in that Loan Striker's position on the bench if we can't pick up another. Williams or Oztumer on the bench in place of F.Caskey maybe? Though he can cover LB too.
Maybe Barker goes out on loan allowing F.Caskey and one of those two on the bench giving us:
We definitely need a proper RCB. I don't see a need for Koiki at the moment so would sacrifice him (as it has been said Famewo can also play LB) if it meant getting that new CB.
All of the above means we still lack strength in depth, but the EFL are causing that with their BS cap. £5k per player at this level would be sensible but £2k is laughable.

Madness to let Morgan go out on loan when he doesn't count towards the salary cap. Makes way more sense to loan Lapslie to League 2 when he does.
I don't think signing Koiki affects signing a CB. He won't count towards the cap so no brainer for me.
I'd get rid of Lapslie. Harsh maybe, but how I feel.
Morgan isn't being used by Bowyer so let him go out on loan and gain experience. I would prefer him in the CAM role that Oztilliams have been wasting.
Morgan free to push on would be a worthwhile gamble I think - not to mention a tidy finish last night. He's hungry but doesn't track back, so give him that Williams position with Watson/Levitt covering the track backs.

Think it’s Schwartz. Rumours he’s been signed already for a few days now but not announced for administration reasons. If those rumours are to be believed then it’s most likely to be RS today. Not itk but I think Maddison is unlikely. I suspect a Championship club will pick him up.
Wouldn't say Maddison is unlikely tbh, think Bows could be a big selling point for him. Hasn't proved himself above League 1 level yet.
I just think a bottom six Championship club will take him. Will cost nothing. As you say not proven above league one so not massive wages by Championship standards. Chance to prove himself and earn a better deal.

I still think that would have happened by now if it was going to
Why would he even be linked with Charlton (as per Bowyer's admission) if he could get somewhere that wasnt impacted by the Salary Cap?

You can cover a full back, you can distribute goals through a team.
If we got a good, right footed center half, and a 20 goal a season striker I would have more than a good shout at top six.
Throw in a right back and another striker we are laughing.

If you’re gonna have Doughty and Maddison in the same side you want them as attacking as possible, in a 442 they’d have defensive responsibilities.
Go on @Dazzler21 be creative, you know you want to!
I think Doughty is fine in a 442, suits him way more than 433 IMO. Agree on Maddison though, you wouldn't want him RM.
I see your team above as the one he'll play, but Levitt over Williams with Gilbey the more attacking CM.
Think we still need another 6 or 7, and that’s the positions I’d agree with too.
We need a good spine.
Matching one with the quality of Dillon,Bauer,Beilek,Cullen,Aribo,Taylor is going to be a tough ask

That's two half decent sides and I'd keep Oztumer and a 4th choice striker, Bonne or otherwise.
Phillips, Lapslie and maybe Bonne leaving to raise funds.
Surely if at least 2 of those leave we'll have the wages for Matthews, Schwartz, Maddison and a CB.
I'd say Schwartz would be a significant signing... Midtjylland pumped Slavia Prague 4-1 in the champions league yesterday and he was their top scorer last year

Think Bowyer likes him though and will keep him round, partly because he's one those players who can be used in about three / four positions if needed
Why would he even be linked with Charlton (as per Bowyer's admission) if he could get somewhere that wasnt impacted by the Salary Cap?
