leaves them with 15 contracted over 24s, 19 contracted under 24s... before they even start the summer business. an example of the size of squad we are up against.
if we sign 10 players this summer imo we don't want to be looking for replacements for three of them by january, and have another one (signed injured) not playing at all. regardless of whether they can be sent back, or loaned out. get it right more often first time is a better way to develop the...
success: jensen, reeco, Hamilton
getting roughan to resign goes down as a hit
successful loans: mitchell
burroughs (did ok in the first half of the season)
fail: smith and brown. vale
walker was signed injured and so has to go down as a fail imo
6/10 success rate. any views on what ratio is...

agree. this is the type of player we look at - we are not entirely in the signing youngsters mould. hackett and walker are in the same age range for instance.
for this type of player, expect we have scouted and seen some evidence that he has potential to step up again. already shown progress...
lots to like there with evans. house-type closing down and tackling. headed goals - something we are short on. lots of forward running.
looks like he has played all over midfield and left back in 22/23.
21 goals playing a more attacking role 23/24 season.
imo the club/ethan should work on simple right foot passing. add that and you multiply his worth by another few million, and easily place him in the championship.
Crawley playing well here. Although being allowed a load of space. Like the way they are set up. They look well coached. Ex imp Lindsey managing them.
Orsi one to watch.
if all three go, and there is no jensen type lined up to sign perm, we could still go back to loaning one of the many decent young palmer/rushworh types. keeper isn't a position we have struggled with for four seasons, even with 4 changes.
