GK: Christian Walton LB: Connor Ogilvie; Nicky Cadden CM: Herbie Kane; Joe Powell; Marcus McGuane Big Fella: Stephen Humphrys (doesn't entirely fit the brief); JCH (probably not fast and energetic enough); Devante Cole. Wingers (so unlikely): Femi Azeez; Josh Sims.
Wild Cards who would take a fee; Max Dean (looks like a young Alfie May to me); Chris Conn Clarke.
If you want some real wild cards have a read of this thread in the Bristol Rovers forum. This fella must spend his life watching and researching obscure footy.

Keeper Big striker Number 10 (that can also play wide if needed) Box to box CM Physical CDM (Pratley type) Box to box CM Another box to box CM/10 depending on the system we want to play Back up left back (we need Edun to move on)
I actually think that our current crop of CB's is pretty good. We haven't really had a settled back line under Jones and since REG and Gillesphy came in until the last few games. I expect with a proper pre season under Jones coaching they will make a well drilled and effective back 3.
Thomas and Hector are the 2 out of contract but Jones clearly rates bith highly. Ness is the one who may move on or get a loan but Mitchell would take his place.
I’m not sure who but a quality, ball playing number 10 if Jones is to continue with this system. Anderson is a combative 10 not one of guile and flair which is what I think we need.
The Lincoln keeper Solid RCB Or CB Anthony Evans from Bristol rovers or Lewis Wing from Reading for CM/CAM A RWB A LWB
I'd lose about 10 players from our current squad All the loans so Camara, watson, ladapo, bakinson & Fiorini + Payne DJ Mcgrandles Fraser Lualua Wickham Edun
I know it is hugely unlikely given a) he is too good and b) he is a winger but RakSaki liked a post or two of Charlton on Facebook recently...! Hasn't played for Palace (I think mainly through injury), but likely down the list and with no arrivals in the summer. Come rebuild with us JRS. You know it makes sense!
Assuming we count Assimwe and Mitchell as first team and take up the year option on Small that already gives us 21 players under contract for next season. Apparently we need to resign both/ one of Hector/ Thomas so thats 22/23.
The midfield as is has too many like minded players in Coventry, Taylor, Mcgrandles. - 2 new additions needed there (B2B, someone to pass and score) No attacking midfield/ wingers - 2 new additions needed there (Campbell + 1 other) The same forward line with two players, sadly, looking unable to complete half a season let alone a full one - 1 addition needed there to cover the Aneke / Leaburn If we're only keeping one of TT/MH - 1 addition needed there
So thats at least 6 in we need, as for names and players, uffff we've done this so many times and been let down by X player being mustard for X team I just dont even know anymore. But, regardless of that, a lot of the wish list will depend upon shipping out the likes of Henry, Fraser, Mcgrandles, Edun, and one of the keepers first.

I thought the assumption was that wasnt actually him and was someone impersonating. Some of the posts do seem a bit odd.
My big wish would be to buy a combative midfielder who is not frightened to put his foot in yet has a good range of passing ability and gets around the pitch creating good opportunities for his colleagues. And someone who is in his mid 20s, so in his prime, instead of old has beens like Arter and Watson.
Such players are not easy to find but after extensive research I have found one on the books of some obscure Hungerian tean. Goes by the name of George Dobson.
He should be our first signing, even if we have to pay a fee to do so. Crazy I know but then finances in football are crazy anyway.
GK. I'd loan out/sell AMB and keep Isted as the backup, and sign a new keeper, someone with a lot of height and presence, and a big fucking voice that he loves the sound of. A new Hamer basically.
CB. A bully, a merciless man, strong as an ox and someone who has the concentration of a marine corp sniper
CM. A big, commanding ball winner with an eye for a pass and loves to attack the ball in the box at set pieces
AM. A trickster, with a mean shot and a killer instinct on the ball, can take a great free kick and doesn't shirk his defensive duties either
ST. A big strong boy, with a shot harder than diamonds and a spotless injury record
W. A bit of a wildcard. Essentially CBT but not him, someone to come on and change the course of a game, people moan that he doesn't track back but deep down we don't care that much because he's just that good attacking wise
No .. It would be good if we could entice Phil Chappell back. But that ain’t gonna happen
He was there again last night. I spoke to him to try to see what I could find out who he was looking at. I mentioned two players I like and he said "who for? Us?"
I smiled and said "When you say US do you mean you are working for us" and he just said "Old habits die hard" and laughed it off. So as it stands I don't THINK he is working for us and I believe he is still with Luton....but I can't be sure
Would love Josh Knight and Harrison Burrows if Peterborough don't go up, although I imagine they'll have championship interest.
In regards to Joe Powell who I've seen mentioned (and I have in the past) I spoke to a fair few Burton fans away, and they pretty much said Powell is carbon copy of Fraser and they probably would opt for Fraser. Wouldn't want another player who doesn't put in the effort.
A player who has put up decent numbers though is Ethan Chislett, 7 goals and 7 assists in a poor Port Vale team, thought he was good against us both times and seems to be a bit of a work horse. Reckon he'd suit Nathan Jones team.
Lasse Sorensen another one who has been really impressive and if Lincoln don't manage to land in the play offs, I'd like to see if we could get him.
A lot of dead rubber on that lost but some real gems also.
Marcus McGuane another who looked very good against us
Think Piergianni would be great at CB. Plays in a 3 at present and has the hallmarks of a Matt Taylor signing before the Powell season.
Of course this is the best shout on the thread, genuinely would be a big signing and would cover something we are desperately missing, a genuine leader at the back.
Could also really do with coupling it up with a goalie who has a bit of stature about him. Crucial area to get right next season.
We should add Wigan’s Godo & Jonny Smith to our wishlist.
Both looked very good last night & would definitely be an upgrade on the very limited creative options in our squad.
We had a chance with Godo before he joined Fulham but he was "no better than we already have in the academy". I was inclined to disagree then and certainly do now.
I also like Aasgaard for Wigan - didn't do too much last night but a good player there

2nd creative central midfielder
3rd wide midfielder
4th striker
I actually think the back lines nearly there. But if the 4 above have been sorted and there's any dough left a centre back
Have never hugely rated him but 20 goal contributions (17goals/3assists) in 41 games this season..
Keeper
Big striker
Number 10 (that can also play wide if needed)
Box to box CM
Physical CDM (Pratley type)
Box to box CM
Another box to box CM/10 depending on the system we want to play
Back up left back (we need Edun to move on)

Anthony Evans from Bristol rovers or Lewis Wing from Reading for CM/CAM
A RWB
A LWB

All the loans so Camara, watson, ladapo, bakinson & Fiorini +
Payne
DJ
Mcgrandles
Fraser
Lualua
Wickham
Edun
Loan out Henry and Taylor
A physical striker to play alongside May & who doesn't break down after 20 mins.
A ball playing midfielder who can take a corner/free kick
2 wingers
Central defenders who put their foot through it instead of passing it to the opposition.
In essence probably around 6-8 decent players. But then, Andy Scott is in charge so we'll probably sign Charlie Kirk & Albie Morgan.
Centre half
Attacking midfielder
All 4 forwards to stay fit and available (+ Casey)
Left back to challenge Small
Dobbo
Hasn't played for Palace (I think mainly through injury), but likely down the list and with no arrivals in the summer.
