Joey said specifically about players out of contract from the beginning of January 2023, through some research, here’s a list of players contracts of expired 01/01/2023 (who are British or played in EFL):
Jake Jervis - Right Winger Kimarni Smith - Left Winger Tyler Blackett - Left Back Nicky Law - Attacking Midfielder
Out of these I would say Jervis & Blackett could realistically happen.

Is Blackett realistic? Lots of championship experience and a few games in the prem. Good age, looks perfect but would surely be looking for a championship team if coming back home?

Joey in the presser saying we need 5 or 6 to challenge but will be hard and go to the "dying embers" (again) but expects 2 or 3. If we end up only signing 2 we are in trouble. A good first 11 with precious little cover in key areas. We need at least 3 defenders to make up for what we have already lost!

Heading to Wigan apparently.

Joey still wants 5 or 6 in, with three being defenders. Also stated the obvious that Westbrooke desperate to go. Best get signing them if we want 6. Less than 3 weeks left….

It doesn't sound like they are going to get him off the wage budget? I just don't know why we don't bite the bullet and buy up his contract/come to some kind of a mutual agreement. Surprised to see we've made Sinclair a take it or leave it offer, as I thought it was just a case of agreeing a deal with his agent.

Westbrooke is likely to hold out until the end of his contract, he will be on a wedge! He may have to go non league.

Westbrooke is likely to hold out until the end of his contract, he will be on a wedge! He may have to go non league. He’s likely to have been hanging around to collect his good BRFC wages to date but at some point he has to think of his long term future. If he leaves now he’s going to have to take a financial hit but it gives him the opportunity to earn a contract elsewhere or at least put himself in the shop window for a potential new club in the summer. If he just sees out his deal without playing he’ll find it harder to find a club and his career as a pro could just slip away. Shame as he’s got some talent.

Hasn't ZW only got 6 months left to run on his contract, if so, then will leaving now rather than the summer really make that much difference to finding a club, it might well be easier to do a Bodin in the summer and join a club for a pre-season trial and then try and earn himself a contract.
The other issue is that he can probably pick up £75(?) at Rovers but will be lucky to get £25K at another club for half a season.

Leaving it to last minute summer trials v getting himself a short term deal and getting himself in the ‘shop window’. Sitting tight until the summer and playing no football at all will surely make it harder to secure a decent permanent deal. Does he gamble or take the money from the rest of his current deal? Risk and reward. Perhaps a small partial settlement of his contract and let him go now would be the best outcome.

Best we can hope is ZW goes on loan and they pick up some of his wages

Westbrooke contract runs out in June best to come to a mutual agreement and get rid

Its now beyond question that Luca can only play wingback or fullback. Any part of a back 3 is disaster currently. So only having JC and BT to rely on (Gibson is injured a lot it seems) means we really need at least one centreback.
Midfield is light ...Injury ,loss of form or suspension leaves us undermanned .
The question is who are the surprising exits Joe talks about ?

Problem is I don’t know my strongest 11 when all fit, so not knowing that means I don’t know where to strengthen

Not even sure either are good enough for L1.

So Joey would ideally like 6 new signings.
Maybe a left back, centre back x2, central defensive midfielder, creative midfield option and another centre forward.
A left back for sure as we've lost Trevor Clarke, a centre back replacement for Alfie and another due to injury prone players, a CDM due to Rossiter injury prone, creative option as the ones performing a similar role are inconsistent or not performing and another CF option to replace one of Loft or Marquis ??
