Centre midfielders 13:32 - Jul 30 with 3228 views | saffers12 | If HH signs then we he compliments Azor really well. However, we must be in for a least 1 more CM as nether CH or JT are replacements for either starting 2 Thought? |  | | |  |
Centre midfielders on 13:34 - Jul 30 with 2646 views | SomethingBlue | Taylor may be able to do a fair job but we will definitely need one more very good, preferably experienced player in there – big priority because injuries can and will happen, we will look thin even if we pull off the excellent signing of Hackney. |  |

I agree with you, JT and CH are a big drop of in levels but also style compared to AM and HH, Would love to see Tanaka to support the AM role |  | |  |

There is big change happening, and key players have left, not just fringe players. However, with the investment in new players, coupled with the existing talent, any half decent manager should be able to mount a promotion push. |  |

Centre midfielders on 13:42 - Jul 30 with 2466 views | _clive_baker_ | Yeah 1 more for sure, making a 4 with Taylor. I can see Humprhreys sticking around as a handy squad member, can play left back and has played further forward in more of a #10 role for Wycombe last season as well, so I think he'll be a valuable and versatile use of 1 of the 25 squad places. |  | |  |

In terms of you think there will be more big numbers coming in? No chance. We are nearly there now. HH + 2 more (3 more max) I think. There will be a few to move out if course: Broadhead looks very close Harry Clarke I think would have gone out on loan but just won't take a squad place now it seems. Al Hamadi 50/50. Could see him staying now. Omari 50/50 Slicker Muric Baggott most likely. |  |

Muric Slicker Taylor Al-Hamadi Johnson Hutchinson Humphreys Broadhead Baggott Not all will go, but could see at least 4-5 of them go still, which will need replacing. |  |

It's not that big, our starting XI against Brum will contain 8 players who were here last season I imagine, possibly 9. |  |

Needs to score some goals rather than say nice things about them. |  |

I'm just not sure keeping Humphreys around as a 5th CM who takes up a squad slot is worth it. We would be better off keeping Finn Barbrook around as at least he does not count. Equally, off the back of last nights game I wasn't totally convinced Humphreys is really ready to play 6 at the level that others have done over the past 3 years. We don't need versatility IMO, we need 2 brilliant players for each position. |  | |  |

I make us at 28 players now, then there’s Hackney and it’s pretty much universally agreed we’ll need another midfielder and striker so that takes us to 31 so we’ll have to shift 6 to get to 25 even before any more signings. *can imagine a bit of cheat where we keep a place open but don’t register Clarke and Burns I guess. |  | |  |

Where is this massive rebuild then ? We have signed 3 outfield players and one of them is 40 years old and a 5 th goal keeper. I don’t see much of a rebuild. I do see a few players leaving though. If it’s such a massive rebuild, we kick off in two weeks, we better get our bloody skates on. Or are we going to be hearing the same old thing, they came in late and it will take time to gel……..whilst the leading teams are 12 points ahead of us ! |  | |  |

This summer won't even be as busy as last summer in terms of incoming players. |  |

I don’t know why you think we need a massive rebuild. We need about 2-3 more players on top of what we already have sorted. We’ve got the GK and defence sorted, flanks sorted, need to strengthen depth in CM and more cover up front. |  | |  |
Centre midfielders on 19:52 - Jul 30 with 1020 views | solemio | Why do we need HH to tell Azor that the latter is a good footballer? I think they could work well together though - complement. |  | |  |

Probably another loan for Humph with a smart senior backup in the Luongo mould perhaps or a young PL hotshot? |  |
