Another first team level centre back is a must regardless of how good Inniss is and how promising Elewere is.19

I'd say it's high on the list of priorities with Innis's injury record . Keep Elewere and Barker for cups. Not too fussed if it's a loan or a permanent signing.0

Edmundson would be quite a coup for us. 23 years old, great height and experience.Fully expect him to sign for either Ipswich or Wigan.1

Looks good but only 17 outings across 2 years. Granted Derby and Rangers are hard teams to break into - hopefully not injuries.

Elewere looks very promising but doubt he is ready to step in for 20 games. If we don't get another RCB in I could see us playing 3 at the back again by bringing Gunter in and I wouldn't be keen on that.Scoham said:Another first team level centre back is a must regardless of how good Inniss is and how promising Elewere is.0 -

Great call.Laddick01 said:Taylor Richards from Brighton is one I thought looked quality last season.
Very similar to the way Aribo plays.
Haven’t seen him linked to anyone (or moved) but he’s be class in our midfield
6’ and out of contract next year. Maybe get a right to buy - although Brighton spent a lot buying him from Man City.4 -
Why … if we want someone we will get him like ClareElliotCAFC said:Edmundson would be quite a coup for us. 23 years old, great height and experience.Fully expect him to sign for either Ipswich or Wigan.
This story came from Portsmouth everything they are interested in someone they add Charlton Sunderland and Ipswich to the story .. think it gives them an excuse to their fans when he don’t join them ..0 -

Not too dissimilar to when we signed Michael Morrison from Sheffield Wednesday. Sometimes a move doesn’t work out and you need to change to kickstart your career.Vfrf said:ElliotCAFC said:Edmundson would be quite a coup for us. 23 years old, great height and experience.Fully expect him to sign for either Ipswich or Wigan.

That would leave Watson as the CDM - I'd rather Elewere for the 20 games to let him learn on the job.ShootersHillGuru said:

This story came from Portsmouth everything they are interested in someone they add Charlton Sunderland and Ipswich to the story .. think it gives them an excuse to their fans when he don’t join them ..The signing of Sean Clare isn’t a big enough statement of intent to warrant saying “if we want someone we will get him”. There are teams that can say that, we’re certainly not one of them.I agree, the Pompey journo has possibly chucked other clubs in there to make the rumour more interesting.3 -
That may be so ..... but if he's settled and performing well at DM, you don't really want to shift him from there.ShootersHillGuru said:

It can cause more problems than it solves.
Anyway, if CB was Dobson's best position, he'd have played his career there. He hasn't.
Far better a proper specialist CB comes in.

That's fine for 1 or 2 but not the 30 odd Inniss missed last season. If Elewery is our 4th choice center back this season we are just repeating the mistakes of last January.Vfrf said:

I am really pleased about how many people agree we need a RCB, not a back up to Inniss because that hasn't been the case all summer. I think his issues preseason have focused a few minds, hopefully a RCB, left back and Winger are the next through the door.2 -

I think his issues preseason have focused a few minds, hopefully a RCB, left back and Winger are the next through the door.Completely agree on needing the RCB and LB mind - Elerewe is a great rotation option but I would hope Innis doesn't miss 30 with better game-to-game management. Playing devil's advocate but I'd imagine Adkins would be semi-comfortable playing Pearce/Famewo though I don't like having two left footers in the middle personally.Would be grand to get a Tucker/Edmundson in but not worth budget breaking. It seems Washington is retraining himself to be a LW this year, and Clayden is on the fringe but we only really have DJ as a natural winger. I'd say we need two more in that position - equally as important as a CB for me. I do agree the LB needs better cover as I'd be much more nervous with Roddy getting a string of games than Erewele.

While I agree we need a RCB, is it our highest need? I would suggest any transfer dollars should be used more towards a starting attacking mid or a starting winger. While not ideal, there are some coverage options if Innis were to be injured. Whether it is Deji, Gunter or sliding Famewo over. I struggle to see us creating a lot of scoring chances unless we add a couple of attacking options. Hopefully we go do all of the above but realistically we are going to have a couple gaps in the roster and it will be a matter of prioritization.2
-
We need wingers more than anything right now and a midfield playmaker to push Albie. With Purrington getting injured LB is our weak spot in defence at the moment if anything. Guessing the club are focussing on what comes first.2
-
At this stage of the transfer window, and still 5 weeks before the window slams shut, the club will still be working its recruitment list.
They've probably got a dozen names for half a dozen positions, and they'll sign players in any order as they become available rather than strictly prioritise. As far as the recruitment team will be concerned, each and every position with a vacancy is a priority.

We still need several players, a winger or two and a left back are also a must. Ideally need a striker and creative CM as well. We need so many that we’ll have to sign them when they become available rather than in a priority order.Bostonaddick said:While I agree we need a RCB, is it our highest need?

Exactly this. If the right player for ANY of the positions becomes available, sign them.Scoham said:

RCB, LB, LW, RW, CAM, ST would be my shopping list, not necessarily in that order14

I am sure we will find plenty of out of contract L2 players in their 30s to fill these rolls. I trust TS.sam3110 said:RCB, LB, LW, RW, CAM, ST would be my shopping list, not necessarily in that order

Very similar to the way Aribo plays.
Haven’t seen him linked to anyone (or moved) but he’s be class in our midfield
6’ and out of contract next year. Maybe get a right to buy - although Brighton spent a lot buying him from Man City.
I will concede we paid around £300k for Stockley but Oxford (according to Robinson) would be looking for the £100k they spent on Ckaee 2 years ago......and Dobson was released by Sunderland by mutual consent.
Be lucky I'd we've spent £500k - and over half of that was on Stockley.5 -
Ridiculous, that will never catch on.DOUCHER said:might even be worth calling the the u23's something crazy like the reserves - young up and coming talent playing with players just going over the hill - what a groundbreaking idea0 -
He’s probably counting the money spent on DJ and Schwartz in January.golfaddick said:

And even 'free transfers' cost signing on fees. Loans generally have to be paid for also, one way or another.Scoham said:

It will be factored into the playing staff budget.
Nothing for free these days or not often, anyway.
