mcmigo Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If the squad's health improves as a result of a proper training regime, we don't need much this summer. Critical is that we get 25 games out of Hutch, and Van Aken has a strong pre season and stays fit. We don't need a forward, and can afford to get rid of Rhodes and possibly one other. At most I would look to get a full back and a winger, and adjust in January if we are either competing at the top or struggling at the bottom. I think we are probably heading for another steady mid table season - no bad thing, it means one more year off the contracts of the expensive crocks and closer to us being able to build a different type of squad.

Think mid table is the minimum we can hope for. in the last 8 games or so Jos was really starting to find his feet. So aslong as our best players are not sold. I can only see us getting better.

StudentOwl Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 To be fair, apart from some big-money moves from Forest... have their been much in the way of other movements? It's been slow from us for sure, but I kinda feel that the whole window has been a bit slow so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been slow from us for sure, but I kinda feel that the whole window has been a bit slow so far If you believe Nixon (the bloke on Twitter, not the dead ex-president of the United States), then our transfer business is contingent on shipping Rhodes off. So, until he goes off to Norwich (or whoever), then business is likely to be slow. As you say, I'm not sure there's been a load of business Championship wise. Forest are obviously making marquee signings (which is dodgy as feck btw), but outside of that it hasn't exactly been lively. I'd expect it to pick up more in July and after the World Cup has finished. Our neighbours have signed one player? A goalkeeper on loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) I’m sure we have deals in the pipeline but like previously said a lot will depend on Rhodes leaving Edited June 24, 2018 by s6 owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) It wasn’t exactly busy last summer, so this summer’s lack of activity is no surprise. You’ll only see real change next summer but it remains to be seen if it’s Chansiri and Lukuhay still calling the shots? Personally I think Chansiri will look to sell up if we’re still a championship club this time next year?

He’ll have been involved with club for the best part of 5 years and he would’ve expected us to be back in the Prem within that time IMO? If we’re still in this division or worse I expect him to at least review his position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were interested of course Not for me. If we get Venancio would be happy with him, Lees, Pudil, Van Aken, Thornily with maybe a loan to come in if Jos thinks we need 2 first team players per position with Nelson and O'Grady as back up.

gurujuan Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I like the idea of a player like Huth, if not him, someone, who if we play three at the back, can take that central role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think signing a 33 year old, high wage centre back keeps with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Huth would be a terrible bit of business No doubt we’ll sigh him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
