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. Awful footballer. Would a 'poacher' score goals for us? I genuinely can't make my mind up if they would or not, but I don't think Langstaff is the answer despite the amount of goals he's scored at a much lower level.

I liked Plymouths left back, Mumba, think we sould sign him along with Stansfield, 2 centre halves, an attacking midfielder and keeper I am just trying to imagine the reaction on here if Hoever had stepped out of the way to allow Mumba to run through on goal the way Mumba got out of the way of Hoever.

Not particularly thrilled at the prospect of having more than a couple of ex-Plymouth players with us and I'm not a fan of Cundle really. He's neat and hardworking, but I also worry about the lack of physicality in the team at times. No idea if Galloway is any good but he is left footed and I do recall him breaking into Everton's first team. Stansfield is a good player but as a lone striker up top, again the lack of physicality is a concern. Not that I want a team of cloggers, but we've been soft as the proverbial this season and I'd quite like that to change.

Korean lad, Kwon on loan at St Mirren looks a good player and the sort of market we could afford.
Defensive midfielder .

I think McNally has been mainly decent this season, and I’d take him back, alongside an experienced nastier CB. Think McNally has all the attributes to be a good player, but lacks a bit of aggression and leadership. Can’t have helped playing beside either Rose or Wilmot, neither of whom are good enough to be regulars.
I’d also like to see Wilmot at RB. He’s not a centre half, and despite having played in midfield earlier in his career I don’t think he’s up to it. He could be a useful utility player though. Rose has got to go, League 1 player for me.
Don’t think we need much in midfield, but Laurent out and a similar player but better on the ball would be nice. Somehow think SS has a thing for him though so I’m expecting him to stay and continue to captain us.
Up top we will be lumbered with Ennis until his contract is up. Think Moore would be a good signing but I’d also like to keep Mmaee as I can see a proper player in him. A goal or two to give him confidence and he could flourish.

The first team needs: GK Junior/RB CB CB LB DM Burger Manhoef Junho LW ST/Mmaee Schuey isn't really a 4-2-3-1 man though. He'll either play Burger as the DM orchestrator or one of the CMs in a three-man midfield, or as one of two deeper midfielders in a wing back system. He’s not but still the same amount of players needed

Skeleton Stoke City squad for next season
GK: Jack Bonham, Scott Morris, Tommy Simkin
RB: Junior Tchamadeu
LB: Liam McCarron
CB: Michael Rose, Ben Wilmot, David Okagbue, Matty Baker
CM: Wouter Burger, Josh Laurent, Lewis Baker, Daniel Johnson, Ben Pearson, Sol Sidibe
RW: Million Manhoef, Lynden Gooch, Mehdi Leris
LW: Bae Junho, Andre Vidigal, Nikola Jojic
CF: Ryan Mmaee, Niall Ennis, Nathan Lowe, Emre Tezgel
Out of contract/loan players
Daniel Iversen, Enda Stevens, Ki-Jana Hoever, Luke McNally, Ciaran Clark, Jordan Thompson, Luke Cundle, Sead Haksabanovic, Wesley, Tyrese Campbell, Frank Fielding, Tom Edwards, D’Margio Wright-Phillips, Blondy Nna Noukeu
GK LB x 2 CB x 2 Winger ST
That's the bare minimum. The squad is still big though and will probably see McCarron, DJ, Vidigal depart. Mmaee, Pearson, Baker are all maybe's. Potentially Sidibe, Lowe, Tezgel and Jojic out on loan too.
That would reduce the numbers and probably allow us to bring in another CM but a lot of that depends on JT and whether he stays I reckon. If Mmaee was to depart we'd need another Striker too.
The sentinel keeps saying it won't be as mental as last season but I can easily see 10 coming in the door, considering we need 7 as a bare minimum.

Starting to look a good player. Was rooting for Ennis on Saturday. Very unlucky with that chance which one? the one from a tight angle that somehow went through the keeper & went past the post? yeah that was unlucky or the other one where he didn't score from 8 yards after top work form Bae? sorry he should score there he's super cheap at £500k & low wages, useful squad player but doesn't look like he has goals in him If he's 3rd or 4th choice behind new striker & Mmaee then fine If we are playing 2 up front (which we won't be as football fashion is against it) he'd be a useful partner for a goal scorer If he's playing lots of games as our striker that doesn't look good

9. Without using loans, sell the deadwood or use them in deals if possible. We could sign 5 permanent and loan the rest.. all depends who he would like out/in.
Look at the u21s see if any are ready for the step up.
No more silly buys.

Look at the u21s see if any are ready for the step up. No more silly buys. Not sure there are any youngsters hiding behind the training cones ready to break into the first team. And that includes Lowe and Tezgel. Sidibe probably needs another season building himself up but whether that’s on loan or in the U 21s is to be seen.

Thought Mumba looked good for Plymouth on Saturday. I thought he was shocking and he was easily wound up... But if we did sign him he would surely have to wear number 5 He did get wound up. Did Million leave one on the keeper? They all went barmy at him. Still thought he looked a good player though in first half when he was presumably in his correct position.

Yeah of course but it’s still going to be a busy old summer Yes but 10 signings is pretty standard these days If we sign some of the current loanees (imo there is a case for 4 of them) then that reduces the disruption Barring Iversen and I'm not that bothered about him as if we can get better & probably cheaper too, I wouldn't be too enthused about signing any of the loans. They've all been inconsistent and contributed to us being shit for 90% of this season. Hoever likes to bookend a season playing well with a load of shite in the middle. He does add a massively needed goal threat but can be a liability defensively and we have Junior with Gooch/Leris as back up. He'll be expensive too, Wolves paid £10m for him and he must have at least 2 years of his deal left, even with Amortisation that's still around £4m plus his massive wages. There's a lot of recency bias about Cundle due to a goal and 1 good game against his former team. I don't think he's a bad player he could potentially be very good but a permanent move in Jan was too expensive and would a loan benefit either party when there's a good chance he may find himself on the bench again anyway. McNally has been a calamity at times, personally can't wait to see the back of him. We need better. And I'm assuming you meant Haks is the one without a case, for obvious reasons.
