Cameron Branigan would be a great signing from Oxford, not sure how mu h he would cost but he's one of the best players in league one and I think he would step up

SS normally goes with two tens does he not? After today you would say Bae and Cundle could fill those roles but neither is rapid which is what we need so desperately. We need a top notch no 9 with Mmaee as back up. We have to somehow ship Ennis out he’s not even worth a place as a squad filler. Pace all over the pitch with experience at centre half and in midfield. Regarding Hoover, we have junior for right back and as as he’s under contract perhaps Leris should be vying for that position. We can’t really afford to have Hoover as well. Good goal today but his lapses of concentration are awful and positional sence is not existent. Should we be hoping Peterborough don’t make it up and grab a few of their players? Poku ,burrows

Realistic and with FFP in mind, who should Stoke be looking at in the Summer? I hear Dutch players are pretty good at the moment! Why? Why what? If you’re asking why do I hear Dutch players are pretty good at the moment? - because we won 3-0 today with each scorer being Dutch, unless I missed something. It was a crap joke Or, Why am I asking who I think Stoke should be looking at in the summer? - because I’m interested to hear what other fans feel could be a realistic target to improve our Team for next season. Especially as I can’t think of anyone at the moment!

i wouldn’t sign any of our loans , overall i don’t think they’ve been consistent enough Iversen? After he got rid of the rust he's looked a good keeper

Absolutely. We'll be very lucky if we can hang on to Burger, Bae, Campbell, even Junior. What has Junior done to attract interest from other clubs? I even think Bae might have slipped under the radar as his stats don't look that good and we haven't had a lot of publicity. Same for Burger and to be honest the way Thompson played today if we get an offer we'll over what we paid for him I'd let him go. My main wish with our current squad is that we can get Hoever to sign permanently. He really does seem to care for the club. Hope you're right.

Why buy Hoever when we have Junior and Leris both under contract who can play there? Seems a waste of money to me. His defending is a bit of a liability as well . Money better spent else where.

Why Dutch, if we have a knowledgeable person that knows the flat lands well yeah great , iwhats your enthusiasm of Dutch players, (mines Luke ursem , spelling firgiving) just footballers. Did you make the crap joke am not sure. Let’s not be wolves on faro

There’s certainly some decent free’s knocking about this Summer. Josh Dasilva Will Hughes Oil McBurnie Charlie Taylor Ben Mee Che Adams Tyrhys Dolan Paddy McNair Alan Browne Jake Cooper Cedric Kipre Sam Gallagher Chris Willock Sam McCallum Sam Byram Brendan Galloway From that list I can see Galloway rocking up here for sure. I’d also like: Che Adams (would be perfect but not sure if attainable) Dolan Cooper (thought he’d signed a new deal though?!) Kipre

What will be just as interesting will be who goes Absolutely. We'll be very lucky if we can hang on to Burger, Bae, Campbell, even Junior. Campbell is out of contract isn't he? and as a striker, he's been noticeably useless this season. The others are under contract aren't they? I doubt anyone will be attempting to rip them away from us.

Travers/Iversen or any other decent 1st choice keeper Asante or another CF CB Left Back Renew Hoever's loan as will be too expensive to buy Cundle make permanent I’d still like BTA too gives you that physicality whilst being more competent at the technical side than Ennis who’d be a suitable understudy. That’s your battering ram forwards sorted then you need a different style of striker for when you want to change it either as plan A or plan B ie not like for like. Could be Ty but he’s unlikely to stay and tbf doesn’t look like he could score in a brothel atm.

What is Schuey's preferred formation going forward? That will determine the type of players that we need. Is the plan to build around the 3-4-2-1 that brought him success at Plymouth last season, or the 4-3-3 he has favoured this season?
For instance, if he goes three at the back, then we need a LWB and not a LB. I would also try hard to keep McNally as he is infinitely better on the right of a back three, but we'd also need a more imposing central defender and a left-footed defender. However if we stick with four at the back, then I wouldn't have McNally back as he doesn't have the same concentration levels as a CB.
It's a tough one with Hoever. If we bring him back, then what message does that send to Junior? I'd have Hoever back, but only if there is a loan slot available after we have addressed other more urgent parts of the squad.

We need to decide on the principal system we're going to play - say, 4-2-3-1 - and sign players who'll fit in comfortably.
Keeper, two CBs, LB, DM. left winger and a striker minimum.

Josh Dasilva Will Hughes Oil McBurnie Charlie Taylor Ben Mee Che Adams Tyrhys Dolan Paddy McNair Alan Browne Jake Cooper Cedric Kipre Sam Gallagher Chris Willock Sam McCallum Sam Byram Brendan Galloway Kipre and Galloway - we should go after both of those. I'm not sure about Kipre as a character, whether he is vocal, a leader. As the older one, if he isn't that type I'd be tempted to go after someone that is that type instead. But Galloway looks a good player. On another note, I didn't think Burger will stay. It was widely reported in Feb that European top flight teams are in for him.

Don't think it was ever 100% confirmed who we've got in the wild card spots (although it's possibly Jojic, Wes, Burger and Bae with Vidigal, Mmaee, Manhoef and Leris getting the permit the old-fashioned points way?)
But presumably we'd have to move one of them on to free up a space.
Wes will probably free one up.
And may be worth moving Jojic on as well if possible to free up another.

If Pearson goes yes plus he's decent at CB too That’s because he is primarily a CB who can play DM. I’d buy him as a CB

They showed a good understanding and that is important in team building.. I know they were given more space than usual ( or created it ) but I was impressed. Maybe how they played suits Schumacher’s plans.

Take a punt on Macaulay Langstaff for me. It’s time to stop trying to get these 1 in 5 strikers and get some fucker (albeit lower league) who knows where the onion bag is.

How does wildcard work Do we get a new one every summer + any we free up? Or is is flat 4 you need to sell (even in 10 years time) to free up a slot?

Blackpool have come close to signing him in the past but couldn't agree a fee.

I’ve been against this idea but I’m warming to it a little. He’s scored incredibly well in 3 successive divisions in 3 successive seasons. That’s impressive. With Notts County not going up, it’s possible he won’t cost much either. Still a big gamble though.

He’s got the stats, and a player who can control a football in the final third and actually shoots could be worth his weight. 15 to 20 goals is well below par for him but way above par for us. We need to give these goal scorers a chance
