Right people We heard a few ideas who people want the club to sign, so who in January do you want out of the club to raise funds? Also what's everybodys view on HS2 Going straight through Bodymore Heath its a serious problem for the club.

WTW sometimes I do wonder where you get your info from mate, HS2 is going to destroy the academy training pitches that’s it. It isn’t going “right through bodymoore Heath” by any stretch of the imagination. Training pitches can be relocated, their not first team and they can moved to other parts of the same site, all it would mean is youth players maybe having a longer walk. The main issue is the noise level, And how it may effect training sessions for the first team. When it was redone it was state of the art, and it’s still one of the best in the country now after all this time, however it is bricks and mortar, HS2 have to pay for the parts they plan to destroy (youth pitches) and should the noise level be proven to be of a certain level that would significantly disrupt sessions they would have to pay compensation to the club. In that case we take the opportunity to move and rebuild and give ourselves a state of the art complex once again. Training machines etc can be reused, then we find a new site and with the money from HS2 the new project would come at a lesser cost to us. Not a huge problem at the minute in my book. As for players, main position is striker, we need a tall strong striker who will take the weight of Davis’ shoulders whilst everyone seems to be crocked. I only say tall strong as the way we play that’s when we get the most out of the rest of the players in the team, we have seen Hogan types don’t work.

Murray, Benteke, Gayle, Long, Austin.
Murray and Austin and Gayle are instinctive strikers and this is what we lack.
Are they available?
In the crazy world we live in who knows.
We could lose Elphick, Richards, deLaet, Gabby Bunn, Elmohamady, McCormack, Tishbola.
Are Gollini and Gil still on loan?
So much dead wood.
Cant sell Hogan, injured.

I like your ambition Oldvillain but the only one of them 5 that would even be close to available would be Long, and even then your looking at possible transfer fee that we can’t afford and there would be plenty of struggling prem sides wanting him. Think we’ll be looking at loaning a youngster, be good if we can find a Tammy Abraham the way Bristol did last year.

Question, how do some "lesser" clubs get good quality youngster from the big 6 to join them on loan?
We shoold be the biggest draw in the championship but who do we get?
Somewhere along the way as a club we fail but who is to blame for this failure?
Our loans are around 30 years of age, almost past it. Someone has to pull their finger out.

We've got onomah (England u21), Snodgrass who cost 10m and a decent keeper on loan. I would say they have pulled their fingers out.

Not going to throw names in here, but there's got to be a market for players who represent a 'lesser' country in next years World Cup, that are warming the bench at their clubs, without a sniff of a regular run. I'm thinking someone who's a superstar in Africa or wherever but plays for Milan or Sevilla etc, Scandinavian players even?

UTV.

Lesser clubs garuantee playing time, unless we’re getting someone who walks into our first team we can’t garuantee a youngster is going to get minutes so it’s pointless clubs letting them out to us.
