Jutkiewicz was of decent back-up striker quality at 17, is probably the best of my time. Twine, Morrison and Bodin probably the best overall graduates but think they broke through a little later
Minturn may have potential but he’s not good enough right now for this level and I fear that exposing him like this risks doing more harm to his development than good

Maybe the thread could be renamed from Squad List to Squad Note on a Post It.

Top 10 players in L2
Is that optima based, or some score app or? Wonder how they quantify it? |

What do you do if you're MK?
Do you drag Kemp back against his wishes?
From Kemp's point of view, he's probably happy to stay with us and keep scoring goals. Then, when his contract expires in the summer he's in an amazing position to negotiate as a free transfer. Last thing he wants is to go back to an environment where it didn't work out and then fizzle out.
MK could also try and sell him.

The latter. I suspect Kemp will be playing at least league 1 football after January.

You call him back. You sell him. |

On paper Franchise have the chance to field an unreasonably good midfield and forward line with bringing Kemp back. Payne and Kemp behind a striker, Tomlinson and Norman going down the sides, Eisa/Dean/Leko in the forward line. That’s enough to get a top 3 spot. But I think him being at Franchise post January is the most unlikely scenario, almost as unlikely as him remaining a Swindon player. I think most likely he’ll be sold on up the leagues, the fee depends on whether Franchise hold a year extension clause on his contract, id be surprised if they didn’t as they have a competent recruitment department and Kemp’s within that profile where you’d expect that. But if they don’t then it’s a lot harder to predict with him being out of contract in the summer. |

Teams in ‘win now’ mode. |

Well as I said, depends on the actual contract situation. Is it OOC with a year extension clause or purely OOC. If there’s a clause then MK hold the cards, even if there isn’t, if he doesn’t want to go back to MK then a league one team paying a reasonable fee for him that Franchise can reinvest elsewhere would still suit them. |
