Wish list:
Send back Barden and Tshimanga
Sign an experienced #1 goalkeeper with 150/200+ EFL appearances. Doesn’t need to be anything special, just somebody who will command the box.
Sign a fast powerful striker to compliment Smith. Doesn’t have to be a prolific goal scorer, just somebody who will stretch the play and battle for the flick ons. The ideal candidate won’t spend half the game on the floor.
Don’t sell anybody good. (Smith, Wright, McGregor)
This. Maybe also send back Cotterill but happy to keep him if he will be a squad player and not an auto 1st team pick.

Scott Carson is another option as we're listing unrealistic goalkeepers that haven't played a lot of football recently.
Bring Tom Heaton back

Shilton could still do a job  been out of work a few years and just got over the hand of God goal! But seriously....a good keeper who hasnt played regularly is nowhere near as much of an issue as a striker or defender who hasnt played regularly. Yes match fitness wont be quite up to it but his stopping and catching ability wont have changed due to innactivity as much as an outfield player. I want a more experienced keeper who knows L2 rather than another kid learning the ropes.

Is he injury prone and has he also played for Liverpool? If so, thats as far as our scouting remit will go. Should fit right in.

Only until this month, he signed until January a few weeks back. Is he injury prone and has he also played for Liverpool? If so, thats as far as our scouting remit will go. Should fit right in.

I was joking. More making a point ex waterford and orient so probably top of the list as thats where our outstanding scouting network seems to stretch!

True, Liverpool would have been the full house.
