S72 Owl Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Lots of contracts up in the summer, a big chance to refresh the squad. Forgetting who the manager is for a minute what do you think the recruitment team should be looking to do in the summer. My view is this; Release: Jones Hutchinson Lee Pelupessy Winnall Nuhui Loans sent back; Windass Bates De Cruz Murphy Windass Sell; Van Aken - Small fee Lees - 1 million Odobajo - Free Reach - £3-5 million (if not then keep) Rhodes - Free New contracts; Fox Fletcher (smaller wage) FF (smaller wage if not release) That leaves; GK- New First choice keeper GK - Wildsmith GK - Dawson RB - New first choice RB RB - Palmer LB - Fox LB - Penney CB - Iorfa CB - Borner CB - Experienced CB CB - Young CB CM - Big Strong Ball Winner CM - Box to box midfielder with energy CM - Adcanced playmaker CM - Luongo CM - Bannan Winger/Forward - Harris Winger/Forward - FF Winger/Forward - New Winger/Forward - New CF - Fletcher CF - Mobile strong CF CF - Young fast and likes to run in behind Thats 11 new signings I feel we need, keeping 12 of this squad. If only the real world was like football manager. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks for posting - that is a very clear picture of where we are at with the squad. Need to be planning now, but don’t know which league we are planning for and who will be making the decisions on the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

114mphAndRising Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Good post, but isn’t the big problem going to be that if Paixao is making the transfer decisions then we’re just going to end up with the same type of player. Things will only change if a manager who knows the leagues is allowed to bring in his own players that he knows will fit a planned system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Whoever our manager is I will be really pi$$ed off if he dishes out new contracts to anyone apart from maybe Fletcher and Fox although I’m not massively bothered about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Even for a team with a successful trqck record of recruitment that rebuild is a tough job. Add the potential lack of funds, FFP troubles, uncertain management situation and outward view of our declining club I can't see us building a squad capable of being top half Championship or better. More likely it'll be similar quality to the squads of yesteryear under Laws, Irvine etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the real world was like football manager. Not bad, you've forgotten Alex Hunt and Urhoghide who I'd keep. I'd also release Bannan and FF. We can't keep serial failures here. If we get relegated, we'll be relying heavily on U23 players coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the real world was like football manager. Is Monks contract up as well. As all the player into the last year of their contracts Lees, Bannan, Reach, Westwood, Rhodes, Palmer will be sat in the stands not allowed to play its the DC way because they have done so well for us they get to put their feet up for the last year. The summer will not solve anything we will just sink further into the poo. We change our year end to sort the financial problem but what this now means is players cannot be signed till our year end 31 July 2020 because we are still losing too many losses, which will mean they miss pre-season with us. we could well be starting next season with just 13 or 14 players plus youth players.

Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 If we are still in the championship for ntext season, get rid of the dead wood. If we are in league one. panic (it took Sheffield United a long time to get out the league one, took Leeds 3 years) there will be some positives we don't have to play the likes of Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
