Overhaul is too much for me and too risky. Offloading contracted players is costly, doing that and bringing in 15+ means even more potential for mistakes
10+ is more than a tweak, but if some of those are known entities (Ward, Gibson, Bogarde etc) then much less of a risk.
Hoping for 1 or 2 really exciting loan prospects, plus some much needed experience.
Also hopeful McCormick and some of the promising youngsters prove they can become more than just squad players

First priority sign Alfie May from Cheltenham offer them Loft and McCormick. May's valued at £500K+ Loft and McCormick probably less than half that on a very good day, although why would Cheltenham want two of our rejects anyway? |

First priority sign Alfie May from Cheltenham offer them Loft and McCormick. Why is Alfie May such a priority? Hes 30, will be 31 this year and would cost £300k at least. There are much better players around that we would could sign, especially if we had to pay a fee. Sam Nombe at Exeter being one, Noah Chilvers at Colchester being another, both in their 20s with much more talent and capable of firing us up the league which potentially have more of a future to sell on or improve. |

As we’re talking about players we’d like to sign , Shaun Rooney from Fleetwood would be pretty high on my list.

Agree, really like Nombe and Chilvers and also think May is too old to spend a large sum on. |

Ethan Gilbraith has had an excellent season for Salford on loan from Man U. Would like to see if we could get him on loan next year.
Justin Tchmeadeau RB at Colchester has had a break out season and been one of the reasons they have stayed up.
Ed Turns at Leyton Orient on loan from Brighton had had an excellent half season. Could be one to look at.
Been quite impressed with midfielder Tom O’Connor at Wrexham too. Remember him at Burton as a goal scoring CM.

Why on earth would any player leave Wrexham to gone Rovers when they probably pay better wages and are virtually guaranteed to be pushing for promotion in front of sell out crowds. You sense there's more chance we'll be losing our players to Wrexham! |

Absolutely every chance he would consider us. He won’t be on 10k a week there. He’ll probably be on L2/L1 money. A chance to play higher division football. There’s no guarantee Wrexham will walk L2.

Danny Mayor would be a good shout should Plymouth release him not sure how long he has on his contract think we tried to sign him before the only downside is his age

Could be one to look at. Been quite impressed with midfielder Tom O’Connor at Wrexham too. Remember him at Burton as a goal scoring CM. All good players and I like the Sam Nombe shout too from early if he was affordable and we were to spend money on a striker. Watched him score 4 in one game in pre-season where he looked particularly sharp and knew he'd go on to have have a good season then. Galbraith is out-of-contract this summer so there is a possibility Utd could release him.
I'd like us to be a bit more creative and incisive from deeper positions and become more of a goal threat too, so with that in mind I wouldn't mind us going for Scott Banks (Crystal Palace), Ruben Rodrigues (Notts County) and Jonny Williams (Swindon).
Scott Banks is out-of-contract at Crystal Palace and would be a smart pick up for a League One side if Palace let him leave this summer. Outstanding loan spell with Bradford where he has been one of the most creative players in L2. Another creative option with an eye for goal in this following list that I'd take is out-of-contract Jonny Williams who has been excellent for Swindon and likewise the excellent Luke Bolton at Salford who provides a versatile option on the right hand side. 
Ruben Rodrigues got 12 goals and 10 assists in 27 games in his last season at Den Bosch in the Dutch 2nd tier before moving to Notts County. 10 goals in his first season with County, then 20 goals and 6 assists during 21/22 and he has 17 goals and 14 assists so far this season. Out-of-contract this summer.  |

You sense there's more chance we'll be losing our players to Wrexham! I really dont get all this hyperbole regarding Wrexham, it's getting blown way out of proportion imo. How wealthy are Ryan Reynolds and the other guy? Yeah they're mega wealthy compared to us mere mortals but compared to a lot of other Football League owners they are small fry. Why are people going overboard like Wrexham are going to walk through the leagues and be European Champions in 5 years? Where does that come from? Yeah they're well known celebrities and they've got a bit of glamour factor but they don't have anywhere near the net worth of a lot of Football League owners. Look at Salford, they're bankrolled by Peter Lim, David Beckham, Gary Nevile, Butt, Scholes etc add up all their investment probably a net worth of circa £3B as an estimation, that blows Wrexham out the water, and they struggle to get out of League 2. Maybe I'm missing something? |

I cant see anyone offering more than 500k now for Collins based on his recent form and that'll more likely come from a top league one club rather than championship. So assuming the club value him higher than that, I think he will still be with us.
Assuming Rossiter can get fit and be ready for a full pre season he will be like a new signing. Our best central midfielder this season.
Of the loan players only Bogarde and Gibson would be worth keeping. Highly unlikely to get Bogarde back but we can try. Him and Rossiter in the middle would be very decent. If Everton go down I think our chances of getting Gibson back become highly unlikely.

I assume Everton will need to make massive cut backs so won't be offering players contracts they can move on? |
