Heavily linked with Preston. Good player -

According to Sharpe the interest in Ahmedhodzic is genuine with a loan to buy looking most likely. He has 2 years left on his deal. IMO this would be an incredible start to our summer business and would leave me very comfortable with our CB options for next season with Ahmedhodzic, Wharton, Carter, Ayala and Phillips fighting for 2 starting positions. -

Cantwell would be a top signing - potentially the best player in the championship. However there are big questions over his attitude meaning there is a certain amount of risk. Personally would rather us go for Twine who is available for 3m. Also not snapping up Darling for 1.5m is a massive shame - he’ll be a big success at Swansea -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach

Come on let’s not forget what a player Dack is. People writing him off at this point are just wrong - let’s give me a full pre season to get back to where he was and then, if he can’t, we can judge it.- 9406 replies

tbh I’m pretty content with Carter and Wharton being first choice next season. Carter may make a few mistakes at first but no doubt he is ready. + Ayala IF fit is arguably the best natural defender in the league. -

Kai Naismith to Bristol City on a free is something we should of been all over… One of Luton’s best players last season and would of been cheap wages wise. -

Would be a really smart signing. -
This would be an unbelievable appointment. A manager who is creative, innovative and modern in his style and tactics and has the ability to build a team that championship managers can’t work out. Did a very decent job at Sheffield Wednesday with a playoff final and semi final, you only have to look at the managers who have struggled since. His time at Swansea was also pretty - I believe he kept them up in his first season. His time in Portugal is really interesting with locals believe he has revolutionised the football over there. An appointment who would be on the level of Farke.

Was about to mention this - quality player and absolute power house -
v Birmingham City (a) - 7/5/22

There is 100% a player in there tho. Hard to judge anyone when they haven’t had a consistent run of games in there natural position. -
Right time to go no doubt about it. Perhaps a year or two late if anything. However, whatever you’re opinion, he deserves a decent send off. He’s given this club a lot and that promotion season from league 1, while expected, is probably as good as we’ve had it in 12 or so years. The worrying thing is that there doesn’t seem to be a plan in place in terms or whose next aswell as recruitment - no wonder players aren’t signing new contracts. Hoping for Jokanavic, Farke or Carvolhal.

Well it’s looks like we’ve given ourselves a chance! There’s a very realistic chance that if we win our last 2 games then we’ll end the season in the playoffs. Boro would have to win all 3 of there games and like us there form has been dwindling for a while. Sheffield United on the other hand haven’t been firing like they were and have two very tough fixtures with QPR and Fulham. The big question is can we beat Bournemouth - what a game that will be on Saturday.

This summer is a rebuild no doubt about it - however I think the strength of our academy puts us in decent shape for it. Basing us off a classic 4231 position as with what we have next season I feel it would work best. Kaminski NEW - Carter - Wharton - Pickering Travis - Buckley Markandy - Dack - Diaz Gally First and foremost I don’t think it’s a forgone conclusion that Diaz stays. We probably value him at the 20million mark, though his lack of playing time and goals in the 2nd half of the season may put teams off. It wouldn’t surprise me if no team gets close to our valuation. The ideal scenario for me would be getting van Hecke and Khadra in a swap deal for him. There is no doubt that we need a new RB to replace Nyambe - and personally Zeefuik hasn’t proven himself to fork out a couple of million on him. I wouldn’t be opposed to another loan for him but I would personally go for Drameh from leeds (currently on loan at Cardiff). If van Hecke doesn’t return then and Lenihan leaves we will need at least 2 CBs. One who is first team quality and one who can provide decent back up. Kipre or Ajayi from westbrom (who have been out of favour this season) could be decent shouts. Left back we are covered. 2 CMs are needed - one to provide back up to Travis, and one to push Buckley for that position next to him. The 3 positions behind the strikes looks alright to me - Diaz (?)Hedges, Dack, Markandy, Dolan and potentially Khadra, who I feel we will be able to get back either on loan or perm. If Diaz goes we will need to bring someone in tho even then I like the look of Markandy, Dack, Khadra behind a striker. The striker position will be key. I really feel Gally upfront can make a name for himself next season. Don’t judge him on his performances under this manager. Back up is needed tho and I again would look at leeds and see if we could bring in Tyler Roberts - could also grow into our first choice. So in short we need at least 6 GK: Kaminski, Pears, Sterg. RB: New, JRC. CB: Ayala, Wharton, Carter, New, New, Phillips. LB: Pickering, Edun. CDM/CM: Travis, Buckley, Edun New, New, Garret. Attackers: Markandy, Dolan, Dack, Hedges, Diaz (?), Khadra (?) New (?) Striker: Gally, New
