Predict we will make no signings, before preseason, have all out of contract players walk for nothing, then with a week left in the window bring in 4 premier league academy kids to block our own and 2 last minute signings of players no one has heard of. 

some fans on twitter will still be happy about that 

[chaddyrovers]

Focus now onto the summer transfers. 

Ismael says he wants 6 or 7 new summer signings. 

Expect Pears, Buckley and JRC to move on.

I don't think its a market we'll be looking at but any decent players from the relegated teams worth taking?

Bundu, Mumba and Salech at Cardiff but unsure if we can afford him, Aasgaard at Luton is one but similar to Salech can’t see us spending good money to get him unfortunately.

I quite like that Alli at Luton. He only arrived in January and has mainly been a sub until starting their last 6 games where he's scored 4.

Aasgaard looked good when I saw him last week but Luton will want good money for him, especiallyas they only signed him in January. More than our whole budget I'd imagine.

They've still got the PL money - they won't be offloading players to the likes of us.

Not a summer to look forward to, aside from a break from the stress of Rovers. A small budget in the hands of the idiot that is Rudy Gestede. 

Then you have the players we currently have. Tronstad, Travis, Brittain and Hyam are all key players going into their final year and Dolan is already going. What is left after that?

Also, you know the season is over when people start trying to pick through the carcases of the relegated teams, looking at players all of whom are unaffordable.

Stress? 

Why is Gestede an idiot in your opinion?

Any positive from you about Toth, Cantwell, Batth, Ohashi?.

Do you think Pears, JRC and Buckley will look to move on this summer in order of first team football?

Do we know what is affordable and not as fans? 

[davulsukur]

The most vital thing right now is retaining the core group of good players we have in Tronstad, Travis, Brittain, Hyam, Batth and if possible Dolan, although I think that ship has sailed.

These should be the No.1 priority right now.

Maybe because he said we aren’t supporting the team as we should 👍🏻

[pick32]

Back 5 and 2 cms pick themselves the rest of the places are up for grabs 

[BankEnd Rover]

Alot of people speaking about Bundu, not someone I've really seen much or tracked at all...He's quite a tall lad, is he a number 9? Is he quick? 

[davulsukur]

Derby staying up has done us no favours. Eustace knows the contract situation with all our decent players and he was a well liked manager by the players. 

Derby will back him to a point, I wouldn't be surprised if his first port of call was the agents of Hyam, Travis, Tronstad, Brittain and Dolan.

Can get them all for a cut price, as our clown ownership has allowed them to get into their final 12 months and Derby will offer more wages.

Players you've listed will want to aim higher than Derby....They'll be looking at teams like West Brom, Ipswich, Birmingham, etc...Irrespective of how good people think Eustace is, Derby won't be finishing anything higher than 10th next season, and that's being generous.
I'd even stick my neck out and say we'll finish above them.

I'd off load Hyam while we still get a fee.  Better defenders than him about as Baatth has proved.  

Only players I think we would miss are:

Brittain 

Batth

Travis 

Tronstadt 

Useful to have around:

Ribeiro 

Cantwell (in case he clicks) 

Ohashi 

Gueye

potentially Kargbo. 

After that, I'm struggling to think of any of the current squad we would miss. 

[Wegerleswiggle]

8 new signings minimum. 

Sell 

Pears

Buckley 

JRC 

Gueye

Refusing to play also, forcing a move, and the way he genuinely talks shite.

he’s a winger and I seen a Leeds fan say he was tearing them apart yesterday.

Bundu is more a "utility forward" than a winger for me, and hasn't played wide that often since the new manager came in in January, his technique is a bit hit and miss but he is fast, which would be useful to have to change things up,

Why isn't he an idiot?

Refused to play for us.

Mentioning someone leaving due to mental health was an absolutely outrageous thing to say.

Allegedly telling the fans to fuck off too?

Also publicly talking about someone’s health problems which I found disgraceful

Although I don't like it, I don't think Wharton will have a massive part to play in next years squad. He's been out for ages, and has a pretty bad injury record no? He's missed like two full years of development through long term injuries.
