Right Centre back - as above. very difficult to persuade say one of the remaining championship freebies (Hobbs, Loovens, Mills) when we are pretty much set on it being Devlin/McKenna. Would point to a Hector/Daniels sort of loan signing. Could change tact and make Consi the right centre back sub and sign a first pick left back.
Winger - There is simply no chance DM will enter the season with Wright/Ross/May/Rooney as the cover for McGinn/GMS. Fully expect a third first choice winger to come in and be rotated in regularly. It wouldn't surprise me if we signed two and loaned out Wright.
Striker - I think DM will be holding off for sure on this one hoping a clear first pick becomes available as the summer goes on.
