Pickford, Tyrer
O'Brien, Branthwaite, Tarkowski
Mykolenko need a R/ B
McNeil, Garner, Iroegbunah, Ndiaye need C/ M
Beto, Chermiti, need C/ F
U21's
Armstrong, Dixon, Sherif,
So a R/ B, a C/ M ( could be Alcaraz) , and a Striker. Plus three good loan players in.
Don't think that's beyond the club now.

That’s not including some of the squad players we will need.

Well if we sign three and loan three then that would give us a squad of 21.

I still believe we will make room for Braiden Graham in the first team squad next season. The kids going to be a star.

He needs to go on loan till January, to learn how to play against men as u18 and u21 don't teach you how to play against a CB who's bigger older and wiser than you. If you play in Championship or League 1 he'll get a proper schooling like Harrison Armstrong and Rooney back in his day. Look what happened with Branthwaite.

Wayne Rooney and Harrison Armstrong (although both excellent players) are on different levels. Braiden’s the closest player I’ve seen in my lifetime that’s anywhere near WR at 17 years old (who also didn’t get loaned out at all) . I don’t agree and I still could be wrong but I’d put good money on BG being involved in the first team squad next season.

Rooney was far too good at 16 to loan out mate, he was straight in our first team squad. I think HA will get pre-season with is for Moyes to take a look at before any decision is made on him. I'm kind of passive on him in regards to whether he goes on loan or stays. He had a good loan period at Derby and he looks like he could do a job for us, but if it's decided that it would be best for another loan then I'd be happy with that also.
I'm with DPP, Braided Graham, from the little I've seen of him, looks like a super star in waiting. If he's good enough then I'm sure DM will give him game time in the coming season.
BMD, I'd say we definitely need another LB as well, either for cover or to make the position their own as we are a bit thin in that position just now.
