Interesting to look at who we have contracted for next season, you can just about squeeze an 11 out of the players, though it's not ideal. I do wonder how we plan on funding transfers with very few saleable assets.
Out of contract players have their 'Contract to' in RED
Squad from players known to have contracts for 2021/22 - Nope not even a full 18!
Another year of Watson? He played in the 2-2 game where Fortune sent the surrey lot down. That was 16 years ago ffs!! Not only that but that was Watsons third season as a professional. No thanks

Only hope is that similarly JFC triggered his extention last summer (I wonder if the club would have chose to give him another) after not many appearances following his 18/19 knee injury - I doubt many saw his excellent past season coming.

Hoping that a different player, in different circumstances, will have a similar outcome is top level straw clutching!

Watson will be 36 by the time the next season starts

GK: Amos, AMB RB: Matthews, Gunter LB: Purrington, new RCB: Innis, new LCB: Famewo, new DM: new, Watson CM: Morgan, Gilbey, new, new AM: Jaiyesimi, new, new, new STK: Stockley, Aneke, Washington, new
Note: Oshilaja, Pearce gotta go for me. Pratley already gone which I think is correct, the only loanees I’d attempt to get back is Famewo and Stockley. The CDM and CM positions we need are critical for me, our midfield simply wasn’t good enough, not sure what happens with JFC. I make it 10 signings, likely 5 or 6 perm and the rest loans.

I think Gilbey will come good. With a full pre season and his fitness/touch comes back he will offer us alot imo. Interesting for me to see if we resign Matthew's as Gunter has the contract in place

I think we saw what Gilbey is capable of since Adkins came in. He has definitely got something about him.
All about opinions but Gilbey is the all action midfielder which transformed our energy levels in the latter part of the season when he was fit. He will chip in with a few goals but I don't think he will turn into League 1 version of Frank Lampard. A fit midfield playmaker would be a welcome acquisition to our side to go alongside the likes of Gilbey, Morgan, DJ and the new midfield/winger who will replace Millar. JFC position is unclear plus he would only be available from 2022.
So pleased to hear Nadkins recognise our group is too senior, which in the modern League 1 was highlighted with the amount of goals we gave away in transition at the valley under Lee Bowyer.
First transfer window under Nigel A, could / should be an interesting summer, I always fall for the hype of players we sign I’ve heard of, and being dismissive of the ones I haven’t heard of.
Will we recruit from Europe, or is that more attainable if we got into the championship?

Same as the transfer window opening about a week into June (I think), doesn’t mean we can’t announce a signing ahead of that date.
