Dagnall- contracted Harewood- 34 next year, out of contract Scotland- 34, out of contract O'Grady- Will cost around 400K, Wednesday will more than likely not want to sell to us Rose- Still a season or 2 away Although this point seems fairly insignificant given the massive challenge ahead of staying in the league, it is still something to consider. Next season whichever league we are in will we be looking at a brand new strike force? in a way we have been lucky to recruit the quality of O'grady and Scotland as without the misjudgment of competing managers we wouldn't have been able to bring in 800K worth of strikers for free. Will we have the funds to recruit a similar quality next year especially if we remain at this level? Just to make it clear I firmly believe we WILL be in this division next year YOU REDS!!
I can't see the problem in offering Harewood and Scotland another one year deal. They are past their best, but they use their experience to have a positive impact on the game. Chris O'Grady and Dagnall would be the main strikers, but I think Harewood and Scotland would be very good back up.
Choose which league we are in id give 1 year deals to both Harewood and Scotland if the wanted them....I don't know where you get your COG info from...Why would Dave Jones loan him to us, but not sell..? when its obvious that he don]t want him and we do... Also think that Rose will be excellent back up for the strikers.... The spot , like everyone else knows that need strengthening is centre-back...id like to see 2 in...one experienced that would cost a bit in wages maybe..and one tall young en that's been released from a prem club, to bring on..
I'd be surprised if a deal for O'Grady hadn't already been discussed and possibly agreed 'in principle'.
It would also depend on who's the manager next season. Would Flicker stay loyal to the squad and be offered an extension, or take his CV elsewhere?
I don't have info, but he still has a year left on his contract and Wednesday paid 350K for him in league 1 so they will want a decent fee. He's proven hes good enough at this level so im sure plenty more clubs will be after his services. I'd imagine Wednesday would rather him go elsewhere if they get the offers but that's just my opinion. If we have got a deal set up for the end of the season that would be fantastic however I feel its unlikely given we aren't even offering our own players deals yet.
I think he definitely wants to play for us/Flicker. Can foresee a situation happening where Wednesday try and keep hold of him, he demands move - becomes a red - immediate legendary status
