Realistic targets for next season

[1977Valiant]

Just been thinking of possible players who could improve our squad for next season that we may be within our budget and that may be in the realms of realistically being able to sign.

 

There will no doubt be some interesting players released from League 1 and Championship teams but I'm currently looking at players who may be looking for a new club due to relegation or looking 1st team football next season.

 

Players that may be looking to stay in League 1

 

Chris Dagnall (Striker - Leyton Orient -Age 29 - 17 goals this season)

Izale McLeod (Striker - Crawley Town - Age 30 - 19 goals this season)

Paddy McCourt (Winger - Notts County - Age 31)

 

Players from elsewhere that may be available

 

Ryan Innis (Defender - Crystal Palace -Age 19)

Remie Street (Defender - Newcastle Utd - Age 20)

Florent Cuvelier (Midfielder - Sheffiled Utd -Age 22)

Michael Tonge (Midfielder - Leeds Utd - Age 32 - out of contract)

 

Thoughts? Anyone else?

The only realistic target I would like to see is some decent home games.

Me too geosname.

 

After yesterday's dire performance I looked at both Crawley and Leyton Orient's teams and noticed both had strikers who've almost scored 20 goals in teams that have been relegated, which got me thinking of which players from those teams relegated may be tempted to jump ship to stay in league 1.

...if the rumoured budget cuts do come into effect, and our better players (Pope, Marshall, O'Conner) choose to move on, then survival in League One is a realistic target.

Izale mcleod would be a great signing. Always gets goals

Regardless of what happens closed season (budget cuts, no budget cuts etc..) we will still need to try and re-sign existing players, look for additions or alternatives to look at staying in this division.

I always think it's worth looking at the relegated teams and trying to pick up one or two of their better players.

The same in League Two. There must be a few out of contract players there who would see a move to us as a step up.

As ever, wages might be a problem but they are out there.

 

In terms of next season, steady progress would be my hope. More entertaining football and stabilising in the division in the top half. Anything more would be a welcome bonus.

Billy Paynter just been released by Carlisle.

Id take all them players you've mentioned..

...indeed we will, though I fear any cuts will limit the standard of player we can attract, and therefore 'looking at staying in this division' may be the limit of our ambitions next season. I hope that this is not the case.

Billy pay tee and Collins back at the vale

[paulvaliant]

Karleigh Osbourne - Bristol City

Nicky Ajose - Leeds

Jed Wallace - Portsmouth (if a bigger club doesn't end up signing him)

Reuben Reid - Plymouth (If they don't go up)

 

Don't know what contracts any of the said players are on though.

[paulvaliant]

Forgot to add Peter Clarke - Blackpool. Might be getting on but will head everything and put his body on the line. Something we desperately need.

Tootle for me

Izale Mcleod would be a good signing for us :). He gets goals for whoever he plays for :).
