Over the last few years promoted teams have generally had a better recruitment plan than us, so I doubt anyone who has navigated their way to Prem promotion will be citing the likes of Holgate and Davies or Maupay and Godfrey as the kind of players to keep them in the league. All Championship chumps at best.

Davies is out of contract. He'll end up at Rangers or somewhere.
You have to hope someone is stupid enough to take a punt of Holgate and Keane.

id rather take neither i just think akpoms more of a finisher from the very very limited bits ive seen of both. I wouldnt choose a purchase based on the fact of a 3 yr age gap id rather take a 28yr old who i think is better thats all but each to their own.

Think we will see little subtle differences to our recruitment this summer . With Thelwell and Purdy in the box seat and with some of the early names been touted they seem to be all young /athletic and 6ft plus players . We certainly won’t have much of a budget but I can’t see Dyche blowing what little he does have on crap . There’s gems out there and I just hope the club have the right people now in place to initially find them and then the right people to convince them to join . I’d be exploiting the loan system and would look at the likes of Chelsea or City etc

Centre midfield - if we sell Onana (hopefully £40+m) replace him with Philip Biling (26). He has 1 year left on contract and only on £15k per week. So Bournemouth will listen to offers rather than run risk of losing him for nothing next year (assuming there is no imminent extension to his contract) - possibly they'd accept something between £12m - £15m. I hadn't realised how good he was until Sunday's game. 7 goals from midfield this season, 10 goals last season, 8 the year before. He's 6'4".
Centre half - Tosin Aradabioyo (25) at Fulham has 1 year left on his contract and is on £40k per week. Look to pay same sort of fee between £12m - £15m. He's 6'4" so replacement for Mina. Apparently he was also clocked as the fastest centre half in the premier league this year. Unfortunately Inter Milan making noises to get him so can't compete with them but you never know.
Also sign Coady as well for the £4.5m quoted.
Sell Holgate and Keane - lucky if we get £10m for the 2 of them given their wages. Sell Branthwaite for between £8m - £10m. Mina has gone which reduces wage bill significantly.
Striker - Viktor Gyokeres (24) has 1 year left on his contract and is only on £4k per week. So look to pay same sort of fee between £12m - £15m. He's 6'2" so good height for CF. 21 goals this season and 12 assists. Sell Maupay and Simms - lucky if we get £5m for the 2 of them.
No. 10 - Iliman Ndiaye (23) has 1 year left on his contract and is only on £4k per week. Look to pay same sort of fee between £12m - £15m but could be difficult given Sheffield United's promotion. 14 goals this season and 10 assists. Senegalese - so hopefully Idrissa Gana Gueye could influence him to come
Right wing - Ismaila Sarr (25) has 1 year left on contract and on £63k per week. So look to pay fee between £12m - £15m. Ludicrously fast. 10 goals this season and 7 assists. 6'1". Senegalese - so again hopefully Idrissa Gana Gueye could convince him to join
Left back - Alex Telles (30) on loan from Man Utd? Or any other experienced left back on loan or for free. In 1 - 2 years hopefully Ishe Samuel Smith can step up - looks a great prospect. We are selling Nkounkou for £2m it appears when St Etienne exercise the option to buy.
Total cost of these new players £65m - £80m. Total income on sales £65m - £75m. Potentially with a bit of luck would be a zero net spend.
Improvement on present squad:
LB: Mykolenko has been average. He has 0 assists this year so if new LB may provides just 1 assist it's an improvement. Hopefully new LB will be better defensively as well
CB: greater pace and height from Aradabioyo compared to Coady, Keane and Holgate/less injury prone than Mina
CM: more potential for goals from Biling (though sorry to see Onana leave but we need money to buy players)
RW: more potential for goals from Sarr and terrific pace
No 10/ 2nd striker: more potential for goals and assists from Ndiaye - it would be nice to see us playing more attacking football with a number 10.
CF: more potential for goals and assists from Gyokeres - a tall back up centre forward who can hold the ball up and get us some goals/assists when DCL is injured (Maupay has 1 goal and 0 assists/ Simms has 1 goal and 0 assists this season)
Squad next year:
GKPR: Pickford, Begovic, Tyrer
RB: Patterson, Coleman, (Godfrey or Garner if necessary)
LB: Telles (or other), Mykolenko, ISS
CB: Tarkowski, Aradabioyo, Coady, Godfrey
CM: Gana, Garner, Billing, also Doucoure can play CM if not playing as 2nd striker (possibly extend Davies contract for 1 year to give squad depth but would prefer to bring in new CM as long as it is on a free transfer)
LW: McNeil, Gray
RW: Iwobi, Sarr
No. 10/2nd striker: Ndiaye, Doucoure
CF: DCL, Gyokeres, Cannon

Who's going to pay money for Maupay such that we break even for profit and loss?
Certainly not Salernitana.
He will surely go out on loan, and we'll be subsidising 50% of his wages.
Thanks Thelwell.

Wish we'd stop doing that - just keep him if we can't get our money back - there must be some sort of reason we bought him in the first place - cups etc ?.

I'd be fine with Ndiaye at a reasonable price and same with Gyokeres maybe. The rest are a hard no.
