I'd only go for 4 outfield targets and a new keeper in the summer.

1 x Centre Half
1 x Right back
1 x Central Midfielder
1 x Right Wing/Inside Right Forward

1 x Goalkeeper

We have signed way too many players recently. We need to let our younger players showing promise continue to develop. We need quality over quantity. And we need to leave open the pathway for other young players.

This will do me, Don't see us signing a keeper though unless Huddersfield buy Lossl back.

Full-backs are so important in the modern game now I don’t even mind if we spend a fortune on the right-back.

Let’s hope JJK continues to develop at Schalke. Holgate has looked a different player this year after his year playing week in week out in the championship. The bundesliga is a better standard of football. If JJK is retained it would allow us to reinvest money in other areas of the team.

I’d go for Pope at Burnley. Commands his area like we could only dream pickford would do.

Whoever we get in CM one has to be able to play the ball forward with some sort of consistency

My rational brain totally agrees.

My instinct brain flashes images of Keane with a red flashing light, a klaxon and an automated alert of ‘WARNING, WARNING. WARNING’

FFP will dictate this window unfortunately.

That’s not a bad thing. We can’t really be adding to this current squad, we have to ship out more than we bring in.

He's really average.

He was when he was with us, but Holgate wasn’t exactly setting the world alight before he went out on loan. He might not have developed at all, but somehow I think he’ll be a better player for the experience in Germany.

I've watched him a lot this season.

Fair enough mate. Has he not improved then?

I never thought he was bad here but he's not really pulled up trees. He's solid defensively the same way Coleman is but he's not very fast and his crossing is piss poor. Sure he effectively costs us nothing to keep but I want far more than he offers at full-back.
