Summer transfer window.

[MACCA75]

Tbh it’s almost as big a task as last summer.

Aznou won’t be ready to start at left back (likely be loaned out) Patterson and Coleman likely won’t be here. Keane out of contract.

You would imagine McNeil and Beto will leave, Grealish and George go back.

That’s 8 players (plus Rohl) we need to sign to get the squad back to current levels.

I like how you didn't put the year in the thread title. I propose we keep this for all future summer windows just to deny the transfer virgins their "moment in the sun" of creating the new thread for the next window.

This should be exciting, especially with the World Cup.

Substantial money needs to be spent.

We need:

1x starting winger (Grealish or similar)
1x starting right back
1x starting full back
1x striker to challenge Barry

Obviously (unfortunately, and actually stupidly), we're locked in for paying £20 million for Röhl already.

George may well be signed but he's for the future—we need proven quality if we are serious about improving. Properly £20 million on George, so that's already £40 million and we haven't improved the starting XI at all.

Grealish probably available at around £30 million.

A pair of full backs, if you want half-good ones anyway, another £30-40 million.

Add another £40 million for a decent striker.

£150 million.

So you'd have to assume Branthwaite is sold for half of that and another year is stretched out of both Tarkowski and Keane, sadly.

Boyland article today saying that our right back targets in the window just gone were Guela Doue and Norton-Cuffy, and that its likely we could return for them in summer.

Left backs, right backs, forwards. Just like always.

Aznou will definitely be expected to be in the first team squad in the summer, pre-season will test him. If he’s not in the squad he will be loaned and never to be seen again, and it will be justified, it’s up to him to prove himself.

George has barely had one training session and you want to send him back already, we negotiated a buy option for a reason, we are hoping to be able to but the player.

Grealish will be bought if the deal can work financially.

I think Aznou may well be close next year, he needed time to settle and learn what is expected of him, he does seem talented and next season I think he will be pushing hard to start.

My feeling is that Rohl has shown enough to be worth buying.

McNeill and Beto will be gone I agree.

I wasn’t judging George! Just stating a fact, he’ll go back and then we’ll either sign him or need someone else. Same with Grealish.

I think we'll go with what we've got.
