What transfer policy are you expecting?

[Mr Hooper]

What sort of transfer policy are you expecting this summer?

 

I thought it'd be interesting to see what different people's expectations are. 

 

Might as well throw a few names out there as well if you have anyone in mind.

 

(Assuming we're all in agreement that at least 6/7 players will be leaving this summer)

 

For me, Hector is a must. Maybe get him for 1/2 million with him being out on contract next summer?

Add a centre midfielder in there as well. Some big/powerful to play next to Bannan. (That could be Onomah back on loan)

Sign Lazaar on a perm.

 

I would then think the rest of the signings will be people out of contract like Browne (Preston) and people of that nature.

None of the above

I'd just be happy if we have a policy this time around

Poll options changed for you..

All depends on whether we get another pesky embargo really. Even getting rid of the majority of the out of contracts will still leave us with a huge wage bill, hopefully we'll be able to sell a few like Rhodes, Winnall or Reach to bring in some extra cash and give us some leeway.

 

I'd like to think that if we can do that we'll have a few million to make Hector permanent and add one or two decent players, otherwise look at some top quality loans. The likes of Abraham, Mount, Wilson, Barnes and dare I say it Henderson have been superb in this league this season, obviously Abraham may be out of our budget but the others are the sort we'd need to give us that bit of different class (other than the keeper!)

Steve Gibsons reaction if we spend 10 million on a player this summer

 

 

[Lord Snooty]

 

Some quality loans and one or two cheaper end players with potential. 

Think Bruce has a big enough name to persuade one or two to come here that might not otherwise.

[steelcityowlsfan]

For me only Westwood will be offered a contract of the out of contract players and we will sell Reach and Joao. 

 

That might balance the books and lead to a signing or 2.

5 loans , 3 permanent possible frees & we will sell 2 or 3 & let go 6 or 7 .Thats my bet

Was about to say the same, a policy that is co-ordinated, affordable and sustainable

 

This season has proved if nothing else that just throwing cash around is not the means to success

 

The more I think of that summer after Wembley the madder I get 

[gurujuan]

Spend what money we have on Hector, plus a couple of frees, and do the rest with loans

[BRADDO]

Could be another embargo leaving us with loans and frees at the last minute.

[Hookowl]

I've gone none of the above, I would have gone for the bargain basement if it hadn't had the 30+ bit in it.

[fpowl]

I’m hoping we have the green light or raise the money to bring in our three loans I think less than 5 million would do that ( not including onomah 

 

then it’s renew Palmer and Westwood and I’m on the fence with lee and hooper 

 

then a couple of frees / loans 

 

on top of the above we need a centre mid and another wide player 

 

I’d like to see a pacey forward but with how we are overloaded I think we would need to offload at least three with only Gary hooper out of contract this could be a big ask 

 

loan deals for winnal and Rhodes maybe I can’t see anyone wanting to buy them which would be the ideal scenario 

 

the only senior players I can see possibly having bids for are reach, bannan, possibly Joao, Fletcher and attey 

 

it’s going to be interesting

If so I hope Chansiri has the decency to actually tell us this time.

[S72 Owl]

I think we’ll sign 6 or 7 players. 

 

A couple of small fees like Iorfa, a couple of free transfers and a couple of loans.

 

[prowl]

I expect Bruce to sell a star player or two to benefit our P & S situation and free up some funds for a little squad reshaping. Until we know where we are with P and S it's difficult to know what will happen but we won't be splashing big money this year.

Abraham is unlikely to be out on loan again. If he still hasn't made at least the fringes of Chelsea's first team squad by next season, they will move him on for a fee (there would be no shortage of lower end PL clubs willing to buy him).

[Jeffjohnsonmyhero]

Being sentimental over some of our aging injury prone players clear em out .Being fit for a month and injured for two month ,Are we after promotion or what? Bruce can have a free hand for me ,We need a massive clear out.

Wouldn't want Onomah back as he has shown little when fit and Hector for 500k think your about 2 million out at best. Sure SB has identified targets and may well be just waiting for window to open to tie some of these up. Doubt we will have much to spend but with Bruce in charge options may be better than in the past with loans and freebies.
