    Too early to speculate about new players for me. We don't know the Boards long term plans and what kind of a budget they are prepared to make available yet. Are they going to try to consolidate in the Championship if of course we do go up, or will they fund a tilt at the Premiership, which was one of their stated aims at the original takeover press day. ? Think Darton Red could well be right. Before he left for Nice, GG said in the Chronicle, that he thought DS would look to bring some players in from Germany because he had recognised their probable future capabilities from the time he had coached and managed at Hannover 96. In all likelihood, he's been keeping tabs on them and might be getting tip offs regarding any new ones who have come to the fore, since he's been with us. Let's wait and see what division we are in next term and just hope that Daniel ends up with a squad capable of holding its own if we are in the second tier.

    Every year we have this loony exercise. Fact is, I'd never heard of the majority of our signings over the last four years or so - even the ones who turned out to be brilliant development projects. We don't know who the data and 'moneyball' techniques will identify. So it's utterly pointless to speculate.

    But the 64 000 dollar question is...

    Probably some guys from Bundesliga 2. All the guys at the very top of the scorers list are too old based on our transfer policy. This guy is borderline as he's just turned 25 and his goals to games ratio must mean he's on a spreadsheet....

    https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=97092

    16 goals and 5 assists in just 26 games.

    They’ve both played thirty ish games for first teams in the top divisions of their respective countries this season so I’m not sure we would be in for them or an attractive option if we were.

    Kwateng is a regular at right back for Nantes, can’t see him being a realistic option.

    Weydandt is Germany’s Jamie Vardy, nearly 24 but only in his first year as a pro having been plucked from the part-time lower leagues. Right age profile but having no real professional experience doesn’t fit with what we tend to sign - we sign 22/23 year olds who’ve 150 appearances or whatever in the main. He’s 23 but under 20 starts.

    I think you’re right to suggest players on the continent though, in the championship I think that market may be utilised.
