Looks like Ronald’s style tattoos on his leg

It’s Franco in that post I think looking at the comments, probably just a fun social media thing. They probably knew we would all start overthinking it though!

Hasn’t PSR refreshed July 1st?

Think it's always taken on the previous four (potentially three) years, so it's only refreshed in that we've replaced 20/21 finances with 24/25

No idea if the latest rumours about O'Brien are true, but £3m with add-ons and a sensible wage would be a great deal. Galbraith and Widdell may be brilliant in our midfield, but both are new to this league and we have no idea how they will do. LOB is a proven commodity at this level.

I'm not sure if it's an either/or as regards O'Brien and a striker, but I'd be happier with a proven player in midfield than a punt at striker. Our goalscoring record improved significantly towards the end of last season, so we proved we can score goals without signing a new striker.

Great if we can sign both, but I'm not turning my nose up at O'Brien in favour of a hypothetical striker signing.

Thanks for typing this out, saved me the effort. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we'll bring in a new striker anyway and look to offload Yates at least, and maybe VIP, to cover that.

We need to see the other side of the business now from Montague and team..
VERY impressive recruitment (on paper) done early and obviously he is selling the club well to our targets (and managing to keep it all under wraps until confirmed)
Now- how do we balance the squad by getting rid of players? Big challenge, but we need to see at least 3 or 4 of the following out the door to make budget room for incomings - Yates Vipotnik Cullen Cooper Bianchini Fisher Fulton Ginnelly.
If we can get fees for any/all of them we will be in great shape.
Alternatively we get a team to over pay for the likes of Franco (north of 10 million) or Ronald (north of 6 million)

We will need to keep a few of them, the squad isn't big as it stands unless RM is still recruiting

LOB gathering traction on Twitter.

Franco most be going - no way we will have widdel, Galbraith, Franco and LOB with one on bench

 

[magicdaps10]

It's gathering pace for sure! If LOB is coming back then a loan left back and that's us done.

Fisher and Portsmouth is being mentioned aswell, if this happens then a replacement would be needed as back up.

I don't think Galbraith is immediately coming in from L1 and deserving of a guaranteed starting place. Doubt he expects that either.

LOB and Franco would be day 1 starters. Galbraith can be cycled in and out of the team in the first few months to see how he does and to rest one of the other 2 mentioned - he might also play RB if Key continues to be erratic. Widdell would likely play no 10 if he shows promise in pre-season.

It's ok to have strength in depth in midfield, especially given we're looking to play a more aggressive style under Sheehan.

You don’t see a striker as a priority? I’m sort of in two minds with it. I like what we have but beyond Vipotnik, I don’t think there’s anyone else that can back him up. Cullen should be in midfield for me and Yates will probably be gone, Wales a bit young for first team starts. Think one striker will come in either way

Where/how do all the midfielders fit though?!

I think he would be given the fanfare about signing him. You have eom to add into the equation at 10 too!! Very very strong depth
