Keillor- Dunn yes, but we should be looking at championship stalwarts or talented kids like Small. Hopefully he eill sign a new deal as we are up. He seems to enjoy it here.
The annoying thing about the state of the market is the amount of money it takes to sign the best players from lower leagues.
In years gone by, we’d have been able to pick off some of the best in League One after a promotion - nowadays you’re not going to get a Keillor-Dunn or Ethan Galbraith for less than £2m.
I have said before that I think Jones is going to be very specific indeed in who and what he's looking for. Having Chapple back whose worked with him before will help there. But I do think that we will see a lot of players who in theory/on paper would make for decent or even great signings go elsewhere and probably cause great agitation on this thread.
Interesting quote from Phil Parkinson on Sky's commentary team towards Nathan after yesterday's win......... "I guess we will now be competing for the same players"...... just made me wonder if Phil is aware about someone specific that he knows we are in for as well .... with our result not doing him (Phil) any favours....... or just an assumption that we will be shopping at similar levels
Asiimwe seems highly competent back up to Small and perhaps Ramsay on todays showing. Only 20. Step up on Watson.
Mbick is going to be betterthan Leaburn and Enslin will make a mark Perhaps all on bench, but cuts down on recruitment.
What makes you think that ? I know Nathan really rates the kid and said some hyperbole about him just like he did about TC but We know that Miles can be very good as he proved with his two goals against Wycombe in the home League match so I'm puzzled why you think he's going to be better than Leaburn unless you think he's too injury prone to reach his potential?
Still don't see anyone better than Caleb Taylor. Plays across a back 3 and a great season on loan at Wycombe. Can't see him getting in the West Brom side next season so may loan him out but could accept a fee and still young and improving.
Our fans have already endeared themselves to Taylor after rushing on to the pitch and knocking into him with their hugs.
Lewis Bate seems to come up every year , local lad isn't he? Can't see him leaving Stockport already and not sure if he can play in the same midfield as Coventry.
Players that caught the eye in league 1: (and are not completely unrealistic e.g Kone, Poku who will be way out of our budget)
Lewis Bate Ethan Pye Brad Hills Joe Low Caleb Taylor Cameron Humphreys Ethan Galbraith Jamie Donley Lewis Wing Aaron Collins Aaron Morley Niall Ennis George Wickens Sean Roughan Keillor-Dunn Luca Connell
This will be the key to staying up imo, and I really hope the type of players we have identified.
Players who are affordable and won't completely decimate the wage structure, ready to step up and can help us bounce back if we go down. If you get these types on bigger contracts you can go again, or at least sell them for big fees and fund a league 1 squad.
It's a pipe dream to get proven quality championship signings, as we don't have the pull and cash like a lot of these championship regulars, so we need to identify players who can make the step, like Lloydy and Ramsay.
All our best players this season have been hidden gems and players who have good academy history. The players with a bit more rep have flattered to deceive imo, like Docherty and Berry. Sorry for any fans of those two.
Anyone know when Leaburn is back training? Would be nice if he could get a full pre season to get fit as I still think he has all the ability to do a job in the Championship
Problem in this day and age transfer fees are so expensive if u look at recent top L1 player departures Smith 2M, Aasgard 3M Alli 1.5M etc I seriously doubt we’re going to have the money to get a lot of the top L1 players unless they’re contracts are expiring. Something we should definitely look to do in the future if we had more stability but priority is staying up then build with these types of players. With our budget we’re probably not gonna be able to afford 8 big big signings. Personally think we should be looking into the loan market last time in the championship it worked out really well Field Gallagher Cullen Leko (first time) definitely options out there

Think he will be even better in this league. Really hope he can stay fit for next year. Plenty of learning but what an opportunity

Can you explain where your evidence is for potentially Mbick being better than Leaburn? He has not shown anything to demonstrate he has that level of potential. His performances for the first team (granted, limited minutes) have not provided anything to say that, he looked slower than Aneke on Sunday!
Parky said that Charlton and Wrexham are going to be competing for the same players - the pull of Wrexham is going to be huge for players, they will also be paying the highest wages - the amount of revenue they generate is huge - they will not need to worry about FFP

If their revenue is so huge, we won’t be going for the same players
Thread has the potential to reach about 300 pages of which 99% will be total guess work and speculation. Not sure I have the energy to stick with it. Probably dip in and out once a week.

We need a transfer rumours thread with rumours on, and a separate thread for opinions as to who should leave and be bought. So far we have a rumours thread with no rumours.

Wing just signed for another 3 years at Reading so isn't going anywhere.
Barnsley always sell on so Keiller-Dunn could well leave, would love him.

We're going to have to trust the process on this.
Hopefully if so we can get some early business to show we are serious, always helps (easing fans nervousness and in further recruitment).

I'd be happy with these, btw Low is a free agent considering an offer from WW atm
