Big month ahead.
Encouraging signs in the transfer market with the deals we have got done but lots of quality still needs to be added to the squad. Going to be exciting. |  |

What's the view on Akpom and Ogbene, I thought a reasonable chance they'd be moving on as well? |  | | |
| Current senior players on 20:19 - Jul 22 with 1428 views | itfcsuth |
It certainly makes you realise there is still a huge amount of work to do. That squad is currently a long way off competing in the Premier League.
Could pretty easily say double digits there would need to be moved on, and still a vast number of incomings required. |  | | |

I still think we need 8-9 new signings. |  |

Agreed, had 9 down in another thread, if we are serious about stabilising, it feels a real opportunity this year to attempt that. | | | |

We have to keep the foot down, squad is no way near competing as it stands, both from starting 11 and depth. | |

A number of the following to leave;

Depends a lot on how they fit into O'Neil's system and thinking. I think Ogbene is good enough but can he stay fit? Does Akpom work better in a different system but it is a big ask for him to step up to the Premier League off the back of a very ordinary season. |  |

Where does Humphreys fit in? In an ideal world he would be playing regularly on loan in the Championship. I think there is a lot of promise there whenever I have seen him play but unless he gets to play week-in week-out at a decent level he isn't going to progress. Would a season in the Premier League reserves do him as much good with chances in the cups? | |

Midfield and up front looking in need of some upgrades for sure. |  |

Would agree with all, H.Clarke and J.Clarke to depart, Akpom would certainly be looking to, Kipre the only one there from the list I think will stay on a covering basis.
Would not be surprised if either of Mehmeti or Nunez were to be moved on as well. | | | |

Ordinary? He barely did anything. |  | | |

I’d keep J Clarke.
One of our best players last season and has a point to prove in the Prem, as does Lief. | |

I'd be sick if we let Memetic go. |  |

| What would be your current starting 11 given that squad? on 08:25 - Jul 23 with 426 views | unstableblue |
For me currently:
Van Ovelen
OShea Diop Greaves
Johnson Matusiwa Taylor Davis
Fatawu J Clarke Emerson
But will obviously change over come.
I like that Joe is putting all the forwards in a bucket. As we really don’t know the system under O’Neil.

This is how I am viewing it currently.
Unknown as of yet whether we will be a 3-4-3/5-2-2-1 or a 4-2-3-1, so what we need still feels a little questionable in a couple of areas.
STAY:
Van Oevelen, Walton/Button, Johnson, Furlong, Davis, O'Shea, Diop,
Greaves, Kipre, Matusiwa, Nunez, Taylor, Fatawu, [Walle Egeli], Mehmeti,
Burns, Emersonn
LOAN / SELL:
Palmer, H Clarke, Humphreys, Szmodics, Al-Hamadi
(All 5 will be permanent exits)
QUESTION MARK OVER:
Walton/Button, J Clarke, Philogene, McAteer, Ogbene, Akpom, Hirst
CURRENTLY BASED ON ABOVE & [WHAT WE NEED]:
2 GK's [+1 new #1 needed]
Unsure over Walton rumoured injury and Button contract situation. Button, if contract has been extended and Walton injury serious, to be 3rd choice.
3 FB's [+1 FB/WB]
Seemingly on our radar as we have been linked with one this window
4 CB's [+1 CB]
Unsure of role within squad, depends on formation - could be LCB in a back 3/5 or 3rd/4th choice in a back 4.
3 CM's [+2 new starting CM's if being critical]
Matusiwa will be an important part of the squad, important OOP when on the field, but I have always felt we need a little more from him in possession; he is limited.
4+(1) FW's (+1 Maeda TBA) [+ X?]
Area of the pitch I am unsure of the most due to potential outgoings and what we already have. JP looking likely to leave. I think JC could end up on West Ham's radar with CS outgoing. I feel Mehmeti and Walle Egeli will stay, but not with certainty. Unsure over McAteer/Ogbene as they do fit the profile of a WB (Ogbene staying would not overly shock me given he played a similar role for Luton).
2's ST [+1 needed, maybe +2]
Unsure over Hirst and Akpom. I do not see both staying. 1 will most likely become 3rd choice. Hirst might have strong Championship interest. Akpom would probably suit PL more given his attributes. Maeda can also play as a 9.
Potentially 8 or 9 new signings needed still. A bit more quality to add to the squad too. I really like the Diop signing for a very good fee. |  |

I think most people would agree with what we need up to and including CM - 6 additions there. It is going to be interesting to see what we do at the front end of the pitch though. I agree with you that I think we will look to move Hirst on so 2 strikers in seems right.
The 10's/wide players are anyone's guess though. I imagine we will try and be quite aggressive with our recruitment here and then see how many players we need to move on towards the end of the window off the back of it. I'd say:
Guaranteed to be here - Fatawu, Walle Egeli, Clarke, Burns, Maeda
Definitely off - Szmodics, Ogbene
Question mark - Mehmeti, Philogene, McAteer, Akpom
Feels unlikely that post Maeda's arrival we don't try and add a couple more across these positions. | | | |

Think it's time to sell and let him progress his career, just can't see him breaking into our team in the near future, he's nearly 23, he probably wants to go and settle somewhere. |  |

getting rid of J Clarke?
Are you mad, did you watch that SOuthampton game as well as numerous others last season. Arguably our best player.
I find it crazy fans trying to get rid of Phiogene and J Clarke. Philogene i get if it's a good offer and he wants a move hiumself but getting rid of Clarke would be madness. |  |
