1) Szmodics will be done by the end of the weekend I believe.
2) Clarke will take alot longer but I’d be expecting him or a winger in. That could rumble on for another month though.
3) Then presumably we will need another keeper unless Walton is happy as the likely number 2 (although actually rated him above Hladky myself).
4) Another left back in case Leif is injured.
5) Another centre midfielder. Think we’re a Morsy injury away from being very vulnerable there. As decent as Taylor and Luongo have been, I think it’s too brave going with those two and Morsy as our centre mid options. The interest in Downes suggests we want someone of that class signed as well.
Is that enough? 5 more? I reckon so. Perhaps if we’re being greedy, another striker as a wildcard type option from abroad. I’m pretty sure we get Szmodics so it’ll have to be someone as well as him rather than an either/or situation.

Clarke & Szmodics is an either / or I'm told.
#9 still looks to be a target area.
CM (at least 1, maybe 2) is definitely a priority. There's a lot of talk of Morsy being replaced but I can't see it, he's nailed on in there. I do think we will want a new partner for him though. |  | | |

Names/links aside I would say:
Goalkeeper (I think this happens anyway, as one of Slicker or Walton will go out)
Left back (we need to do something to take the load off Leif this year - Clarke/Johnson/Humphreys just aren't suitable back-up at this level)
Centre midfielder x2 (a starter and a back-up - I don't think we can expect Luongo to make 20+ appearances this season if we want to be successful. Taylor maybe better suited to that first replacement role but I don't think he looks after the ball well enough to play regularly either)
Left sided attacking midfielder (Philogene/Clarke/Szmodics would suggest this is a priority)
Central attacking midfielder/right sided attacking midfielder/striker (another body or two here but not sure which role - depends on where they see Hutchinson/Delap fitting in)
I make that six or seven new bodies, of which a couple could easily be Premier League loans. |  | | |

What we need is a position/ rumour list. Love all this speculation. |  |

Sessegnon would solve a lot of issues if he could stay fit (and wanted to join us). |  |

At least 5, but could be 6 or 7 depending on departures. |  |

With loans I see between 6 and 8 depending who leaves . Sounds a lot but Luton brought 12 in last yr |  | | |

Personally think we need two new CM's One experienced but with age on their side, one with high potential. |  |

I'd like to see him come on trial personally. If he does t want to do that then understandable but let's not risk it. | |

Agreed. Let the medical team have a good look and work with him like they did with Tuanzebe. |  | | |

Phil seemed to think it was both Clarke & Szmodics?
I don't see them as competing players in our system whatsoever, personally. | | | |

A back up LB
Deffo 1 or 2 CM's - Morsy will get several suspensions and may well get injured - we need a back up and prob a new starter to sit alongside him
Another Striker
A winger
So 4, poss 5 - I suspect 2 or 3 will be loans and 2 or 3 permanents
Prob a GK too, thinking about it, unless Walton is happy to stay as back up |  |

How is Clarke any different to Broadhead?
Right footed, plays left side, likes to cut in, which would enable Davis to take the space on the left.
Sam.. Similar to chaplin, likes to shoot, got a good pass on him, slots into gaps picking up balls and bringing in others. | |

Clarke can be much more direct and looks quicker. Broadhead is a more cute with his movement and play. | | | |

Agree, they aren't similar players in style. You can see a pretty clear thread between Sarmiento, Philogene and Clarke - all ball carriers that go past players.
We also wanted Philogene and Szmodics. | | | |

We need another ten or 15 definitely..with half of them having premier league experience..only 4 or 5 current team not good enough to match up with majority of clubs .Chaplin luango.taylor ..harness ladapo burgess .Walton Edmondson. Wolfy .should all be let go ASAP..nothing to bring to the table | | | |

Think we’re ok on the Keeper front with Walton as no 2. Lots of talk about whether he’d be happy to stay, but he doesn’t have a choice. That’s up to the Club.
Need 2 CMs in my book as a priority.
We are clearly still targeting another LW.
Still think we’ll look for another striker. Brereton Diaz would give us a lot of flexibility | |

Shouldn’t you be prepping Chesterfield for life in League Two instead of posting on here, Paul? |  |

I didn't see them as competing either really, but I was told last night it's likely to be 1 or the other rather than both. | | | |

To be fair to those players, we don’t know whether they can step up until they are given the chance to. Also, our strength is in the team, rather than one-to-one battles. Although obviously extra quality would help. |  |

We changed our whole front 4, due to the intensity they play at, in most games last season in the Championship; we will definitely need to do that in the Premier League.
That means we will need 8 players, of suitable quality (sorry Freddie & Marcus) to play those positions, for every game, which could suggest we'll need maybe 3 more in order to cover for injuries & suspensions.
If we see Hirst & Delap as our 2 strikers, & expect Al Hamedi to get good Championship minutes on loan, we will still need another centre forward should one of those pull a hamstring or worse.
Behind them, we will perhaps have Hutchinson & Burns for the right, Chaplin & Szmodics for the centre, and Clarke & Broadhead for the left side.
Now of course we like to sign players who are adaptable when it comes to their positions, so Omari can go centre, Szmodics can play left, & Delap can do a job out on the right, so it's not a simple case of like for like, square pins in square holes, however it does highlight how we do still need to sign Clarke AND Szmodics & at least another centre forward.
