Been having a look at what is around and who is realistic (given some ambition and effort)


1- Kyle Bartley
Think this guy is the key to any success we have. He knows the club, he has captained (and on any return I would have him captain again), he has been successful and most importantly he is a damn good defender at this level and has proven it. Probably cost us what 6-8m?


2- Mitrovic
Now, this might seem far fetched but lets be honest he isn't a premier league player and if Fulham manage to go up they'd hopefully want better meaning he'd be back at Newcastle who also dont want him. He would be perfect for us because again he knows the league, knows where the net is and is a tough forward who doesn't take nonsense from centre backs. Loan deal if possible as I worry how much he'd cost transfer wise.


3- Marcus Maddison
Creates, scores and most importantly knows the English game. With Peterborough looking certain to not get promoted he is too good for league one and someone is going to snap him and Marriot up so why not us? Probably going to set us back around 5/6m but in this market who the hell knows.

I'd also be very keen on us looking at Joe Bryan the full back at Bristol, he looked brilliant every time I saw them play and Bentley the keeper at Brentford. Also Yiadom/Bradshaw at Barnsley both would be good additions especially Yiadom who is a full back and out of contract.

Reality is we are going to need 3/4 top quality permanent signings with 2/3 really good loans and then a couple of the hopefuls signings from abroad on the 2/3million bracket. Lot of money will need spending and quite a few need getting rid of.
