So, this is where we're at. Coburn likely to go on loan to Plymouth. 24 man squad once Coburn goes. Space for maybe 3 more. So what do we need to finish off the squad rebuild?

First team:

Reserves:

Plus: Coburn (loaning out), Jones, and Clarke.

Hackney doesn't look too clever on them, can't see him making saturday!
 
Centre mid first choice/Howson replacement.

Another Forward to challenge Latte Lath. Lath could maybe play wide left if we get a superior striker to him.

And maybe a right back if we sell McNair. I still think Dijksteel may leave too.

He seems to drift out wide right in the vids. But seems he can play left as well. You could play Rogers left and Lath right with a new CF.

For me:

RB - loan from prem maybe that lad that was on loan at Cov last year
CM - Ardon Jashiri
CF - Cannon

10m for the two of them, spend the Akpom money on 2 quality young players that already have experience.

Ben Johnson at right back
for Anfernee Dijksteel

Hannibal in on loan to replace
Martin Payero

Cameron Archer or Joel Piroe
with Josh Coburn going out on loan
we put a bit in for Arthur Sousa apparently..


Paddy McNair still rumoured to be on his way
Dan Barlaser linked with a loan move oddly
Matty Crooks? can’t see it tbh..

Bashir Humphreys - loan.. to Swansea
Bitello.. in January?
Chris Willock £2m
 
I think we’ll try to sell Paddy + Dijksteel and will Loan Coburn out

I think we’ll buy a striker, Loan a CM and RB

I do not think we will sign a new number 10 with Rogers and Gilbert having been signed and others in the squad who can slot in there

Personally I’d like to sell or loan Coulson and bring in LB cover too
Crooks is another enigma who I don’t see a place in a Carrick team for tbh, I’d sell. I just don’t understand why either of these two had new contracts 🤷‍♂️
 
It's a lot of turnover in one transfer window @coluka might affect our momentum and consistency for a while. Positive side of it is that we've got lots of young players on longer contracts which will help in the future.
 
I'd like a hard man. Someone who is more likely to rip your head off and spit down your neck than make that stupid heart gesture that all footballers seem to do nowadays. We are looking at various markets searching for bargains - have we considered looking in prisons?
Who was the last hard man we had? Who was the last one in the championship?

Has anyone heard of Matty Crooks? I’d much prefer him in midfield to Payero or Barlaser.

Yeah, agree it might, but we’re already on 9,incomings I think, so I don’t see it being much more disruptive, especially if one could somehow be Archer (unlikely as that may sound). I think we have one more big incoming, possibly 3 dependent on the quality of loans

Always felt besic had something about him. Before him Barry Robson.

Basically we just need someone who thinks - **** we've just given the ball away and all of our defenders are out of position. RUGBY TACKLE!!!!!!
 
The reserve team would beat that '1st' team most weeks.

McNair and Payero start every game for me.

Coburn must be gutted if he gets sent to Plymouth - although, the Plymouth manager is making a very good impression - id like to see Coburn go to Derby if we send him out on loan, a very progressive manager, decent crowds and start to put behind us our recent dispute with them.

id also like to see the lad Curtis Jones from Liverpool come to us for a season loan, he is a quality and hard working young footballer.

I love Crooksy, a great for team morale maybe, but I don’t see how he fits in other than a bench warmer in a MC team. He isn’t a hard man, robust and a bit clumsy maybe, but not hard.

Payero, keep forgetting about him. I think he’ll likely be off too. Barlaser is an enigma as to where you play him, He has the 4 shirt so think he’s going nowhere just yet, January might see him move on mind.
 
Hard man......are we talking psychopathic hard or just a footballing hard man.

Recent history, Grant and Barry Robson the latter. Pog probably falls into the former.
