Whole host of players to go to free up wages - Brown,Aarons,Vallego,Campbell,Eiting plus probably sarr and koroma. Won’t get Colwill back and will lose LOB plus personally wouldnt take up the option on Sinani if it is £1m but I think we will keep Nichollls,Sorba and Toffolo. Potentially loans out for schofield grant and high. Assume we are signing Will Boyle as Sarr replacement and bringing REG into squad. With 2 or 3 prem loanees and 2 or 3 signings predominantly in midfield/forward areas I think we would be very competitive next year as we were very solid defensively but ultimately lacked a bit in midfield creativity and we also could do with a young strong striker ( replacing Campbell and koroma ) and a couple of wingers to replace sinani/aarons/grant Boyle will be a huge step down. Boyle a step down on Sarr ? You seen him in last couple of years ? |

Why, what creativity does O'B give ? He breaks with the ball but he's not known for his goals and assists. I think that's what they meant... with the LOB money, buy someone with creativity. They never said LOB was the creative player. Yeah, I suppose so. |

Boyle will be a huge step down. Boyle a step down on Sarr ? You seen him in last couple of years ? A step down in terms of where we are now to where we want to be. Boyle would not improve us. |

Good player is Boyle Agree he is a good player, but I would say REG and Crichlow are as good. Personally I feel we need to improve the first 11, we improved the depth last summer, now is time to improve the 1st 11. That's my opinion though. |

I only notice him when he scored or gets sent off. Is 6/7 years spent mostly in League 2 going to make him the answer. We need a replacement for Levi, quick and good on the ball cos Lees and Pearson are neither of those |

We need a replacement for Levi, quick and good on the ball cos Lees and Pearson are neither of those In fairness neither is Sarr. Sarrs direct replacement will likely be 4th choice and tall and strong in the air. Boyle fits that criteria doesn't he? |

We've had at least 6 centre halves this season You are not really getting what I am saying. We need players to improve our 11 with Colwill going back and Sarr more than likely leaving. Imo Boyle would not be good enough to be a regular starter. We will have REG and Crichlow as the back up options. |

However good Boyle is, he his not our premier signing that we will be highlighting to the press to show that we are ready to do it all again next year.
I am not slagging him off as I have not seen him play, but I doubt that if this turns out to be a signing it will make other teams in the Championship sit up and get worried about the team we are building.
we will loose some and need a range of players, some will excite more than others.

If Town aren't trying to get Cameron Archer on a season long loan then we're making a big mistake. He would be as good a signing as any we could realistically make.
Assuming the whole division will be asking Villa the same question

You could have been forgiven for saying that about Turton, Nicholls and Ruffels last season. But history is in danger of repeating itself! |

I haven't seen anything of Boyle since he left us so can't offer a valid on opinion on him. HOWEVER, after this season, I will trust our recruitment team and CC to get the best out of whomever comes in

I’m pretty certain that ‘making other teams sit up and take notice’ and ‘highlighting to the press that we are ready to do it all again’ are not criteria in Bromby or Carlos deciding we should buy a player. Not excited by signing Will Boyle personally but I trust the recruitment team after last summer. |

The depth looks good. Boyle will add to this but all teams that go up need 2-3 exceptional players.
Personally, I think we need a fast CB to replace Levi - fingers crossed that REG or Crichlow may be that player. If LOB goes we will need to add someone with energy to ‘break between the lines’. Impossible to over estimate the outlet he has given us this year. We also need a top class number 10, a position we struggled to fill in January. That would give us a really strong spine. Being greedy I’d like to see a LW too.
Hopefully Grant can break through otherwise we only have 2 strikers. The biggest danger being they are such different players we need to change our style of play completely to suit each.
It’s quality, not quantity we need to see come in IMO.

If we sign Boyle, don't expect big investment in new signings. With Colwill and probably Sarr leaving a left footed defender is our number 1 priority. No disrespect to the guy but we have to do better.

It’s quality, not quantity we need to see come in IMO. we need a box to box midfielder. for me this is the main reason we did not create enough chances on Saturday. Maybe the sale of LOB will allow us to bring one in of quality. We also imo need to replace Hogg. Shame there are no Arron Mooy type players we could bring in. |

Nicholls has surpassed everyone's expectations, Turton was brought in to be an honest backup and played more than he was envisaged to I think. It would be a real turn up if Boyle slotted in where Colwill and Sarr left off and turns out to be as good. Not impossible, but to expect it would be putting a lot of pressure on someone that's only just started playing above league 2. If he's coming in as cover then fair enough, but I think that'd be quite harsh on Crichlow |

We need to make maximum use of the loan market, You would imagine we will be top of the list for alot of top youth players with Carlos as manager. Then definately focus on improving the first 11. 5 areas to improve this yrar ideaally, but improvement anywhere is improvement.
