    Yep, Pukki turned down the contract offer months ago. Said he wants to go back to Finland to finish his career.

    We need a few wingers in the building.

    Granted we had a few this season, but for so many it simply didn't work out - we started the season with what felt like a squad full of forwards, and only Cook, Banks and Wright impressed me.

    Imagine starting with Harratt, Young, Osadebe, Eisa, Wood, Chapman, Walker, Oliver, and Angol, then adding Costelloe, Nevers, Derbyshire, and Pereira, and pretty much the whole bunch being a let down.

    That is pretty damning on the overall recruitment strategy, isn't it!?

    That is a very scary list! Your final paragraph has 13 players named.

    Really we need quality not numbers.

    You could easily prune it down to say eight, in addition to Cook, Banks and Wright, of which the only possible one playing in a City shirt next season is Cook.

    Jonny Williams is out of contract at Swindon I think he would be a great signing and hopefully Hughes Welsh connection could help in that

    I've said him before, Park, he'd be a quality signing.

    Wonder who the championship player was that we tried and failed to sign at the last moments of the January window, will we try again?

    Said this for years. Quality over quantity. We had 4 or 5 first teamers not getting a sniff in play offs despite injuries to Oliver and Chapman. With 3 or 4 out on loan too!

    Adams, Bowyer and Hopkin were obsessed with big squads. Pretty sure FGR went up with a squad of 20. Tells you all you need to know.

    Next season we need to beef the numbers out with Pointon, Youmbi and Rowe.

    I think Williams was in talks with Hibs, or he was last week.

    Talent but due to his injuries he struggles to get through games these days. He had 35 league starts this season, he only completed 90 minutes 11 times. The other side of the coin is that he does get goals and assists.
