In the absence of rumour, what position do you thing RW/ML will fill first. Including our out of contract players.
Goalkeeper
Back Four
Wing Back/Full Back
Midfielder
Striker
Coach to replace Matt Harold
New coffee machine
I reckon it will be a midfielder.
Jeez I’m desperate for any news.

Probably best not to bring players back,many cannot evoke the time when they were good players for a club.But as football fans we are sentimental and do not have to deal with the harshness of football as management do.
We are all calling for players to be signed,management know this more than anyone and woe betide then for any failure.They have to imagine and buy for the future so need to have sound investment as we ain't that rich.
My first thought would be a good goalkeeper,plus the almost impossible to get,a striker.Maybe that is the one position we could take a chance on.

Agree, a decent and experienced goal keeper and a good robust target man / striker.
Some unpolished gems perhaps playing at present in this division or division, two, national league etc. It is possible, remember how we got Bonne for a low transfer fee from Colchester United ! I remember watching Kieffer Moore having a trial match for the Os against Bishop Stortford in an evening game in january 2016. Played in terrible weather conditions, non stop heavy rain and high winds. Near impossible conditions to play a game of football and surprised the game was not called off ! Moore is a 6 foot 5 inches tall target man striker and in 2016 was only 24 years old, on a free transfer at the time and an ex Yeovil Town player. Os turned him down and since then he has had a good career and is a current Welsh international with 41 caps !

Opinions on players ability is still to a degree about subjectivity. There is more today looking at players stats which takes out some of the subjective opinions of those splashing the cash. If individuals on the transfer committee reject the managers recommendation than this decision may come back to bite them. |

I wonder whether the emergence of Zech Obiero will have a bearing on what players we bring in.From the few games I've seen him I've been really impressed and he could become a regular starter next season

he'd be welcomed back with wide arms by me. However, the reality is a contract of probably 15-20k a week. Plus one of the two senior keepers are likely to move on which may get him an opportunity at a level he can play at in my opinion. This could be a difficult signing. |

I would think a GK would be my priority and I trust our excellent GK coaches to find us one . But most of all I would absolutely love it if we could find another Kevin Lisbie to play alongside Dan ,an older pro towards the end of his career that just wants to carry on playing . That would be my priority but unfortunately RW doesn't like playing like that !

No issue with older players, Prats is as old as they get in league 1. |

And then some,😁…Can’t think of a current older league 1 player than Prats..Maybe Curtis Davies if he’s still around next season.But can’t be that much older than one more year prats |

Me too. Got our CB’s, now get the goalie in so you can work on that understanding at the back. |
