Just a bit of fun but who would you be looking at to improve us in Summer?

- Lee Gregory, out of contract in the summer, has goals in him, is a work horse and would bring some experience to the forward line.

- Ryan Kent, loan, done well up in Scotland might fancy a bash at the Championship.

- Lukas Nmecha, loan, his improvement this season especially the last few months has been good, he could become even better with more game time under his belt.

- Jordan Hugill, loan/buy, not been the same player since he left us and might be up for reuniting with Neil, played his best football with us.

- Herbie Kane, loan, been a revelation at Doncaster and could make the step up.

Sure a few amongst us who watch the lower leagues will have an idea of players we should be looking at as well so get them posted and reasons why.
 
Gonna throw in Will Vaulks again.

That CJ Hamilton sounds like he could be worth the gamble, seems we wouldn't meet the asking price in January.
 
I'd have also looked at freddie Sears if he didn't get a bad injury, quick, Maguire type player.
 
IF Sheffield United get promoted, we may be able to persuade them to part with Chris Basham. He would certainly give us experience and competition in a few areas on the pitch.

Any centre forward would mean one having to go out first. If Moult were to leave, Gregory / Nugent would both be an upgrade as well as affordable.

Boro paid all of his 30K p/w + £1M loan fee to get him for the season. Believe it's been reported that Pulis doesn't want him back anyway. Would be a no from me regardless.

I like Vaulks. Probably too similar to Ledson if anything, not a natural no.6 but has legs to get about and do the nasty side.

CJ Hamilton is quick and not too dissimilar to Barky. Don't think he's blessed with technical ability but would certainly have a use.

Yeah, Vaulks might be a bit of a luxury signing really, in terms of too many bodies.

We haven't seen Potts in the middle of the park yet, that's where he started off so he might be a good option there when we have injuries/ suspensions.
 
Not totally convinced we’ll be going for a midfielder, but if we do I’d look at Harrison Reed, who’s been on loan at Blackburn from Southampton.

He was on loan at Norwich the previous season, so has a lot of Championship experience, and he is a midfielder who is quality on the ball and can play in the centre and the right, so could be a long-term successor to Gally.

Hamilton looks to have the pace for this level, but any winger signing must be dependent on the Nmecha / Robinson situation, need clarity on those first really.
 
Malik Wilks (tricky,quick, clinical)
Luca Connell (serious prospect, local)
Lukas Nmecha (will explode next season imo)
Kieran Dowell (left footed no.10)
Nakhi Wells (upgrade on Moult)
Krystian Bielik (if Pearson goes)

No neither can I, borough are paying West Ham 35 grand a week to have him on loan and so you can safely say he won't be joining us.

Connell will probably be off to the Prem.

Dowell would be great and, needless to say, a massive upgrade on Harrop. But his wages would be a problem and I think we're well stocked at number 10 to be honest.

Wells would be good. Owner wouldn't let us pay his loan wages in the summer.

Can't see Pearson going.

I think there’s room for another 10/ attacking player, especially a left footed one. I know Bodin (who I rate highly) is coming back, and Harrop coming back, but in terms of creative options in terms of breaking down a defence, we are limited to Robinson, Harrop and Bodin. Browne is excellent but a different type, same as Potts.

I'm not sure if Potts has yet started a game in the middle but he's certainly been switched there during games. To me, he looks far more comfortable centrally than out wide.

Reed would be my choice for our 'stellar signing' of the summer...I think its a key position in which we need to strengthen (possible departures notwithstanding).
Think we'll have to double our transfer record to get anywhere near though.
Gallagher and Sims are also 2 lads at Southampton who probably now need to move to progress. Sims came on as a late sub against us at home for Reading at which time Brandon Barker turned to the other subs and said 'oh fuck...he's shit hot'.
He duly set up the winner...
