Street from Lincoln apparently he did ok with a league 2 side last season worth a punt

League One looks strong next season IMO so I think we need to get our recruitment spot on, plus make the right calls on expiring contracts. I trust in McCann (and his staff) though so I’m sure he’ll get the vast majority of it right.

GM sitting down with (some?) players this coming week. Not sure when the transfer window opens but doubtless the staff have been researching g players already.

They didn’t do too bad for this season did they.?

Ideally…

Sign street
Teddy on loan
Olowu….i think we would be ok without him, not saying he isn’t good.
Billy….another year
Seen TLT congratulate us on the live stream so who knows.

I agree with all that, mate, but I seriously doubt we'd get Rob for less than half a million.

Abbott from Notts County looked a very good player

Street is long under contract and has done well. He might not have been in favour at Lincoln City but they will want a decent fee. That’s going to be tough for us to afford and then pay his wages. We do need to sort that central striker role though.

This season and last we really hit form when we got the january additions in midfield. I'd love us to get this position right as early as possible. Would love it to be crew but I trust grant to get it right before the season starts this season whoever we go for.

Think we will have more than enough players wanting to come to us, after seeing what Grant and the team can do to a group of players, expect a lot of clubs in the premiership and championship to be offering us players.

It’s down to grant and the team to find the team players the ones that will run through a wall and keep going

It’s not a certainty but the leap to League One means the pool from non league that has been so productive for the last few years is now likely very small. Getting lucky there in Bailey, Sterry and Molyneux has been a godsend.

Only kidding .

Let’s go all out for street. He loves it here. Get Crew back on loan for the season. Would like TSL back but Chelsea look like they have other ideas.
We have a great nucleus of a team. Let’s build on it

Lincoln fans under the impression it'll be street house and draper as their attacking options on twitter. Impstalk credible source

But if Rob now has a taste for silverware he'd be better off coming to us....

Lincoln signed Collins on January, so doubt Street would be leading the line for them... Collins is quality and well liked.

I would sacrifice Billy’s wage to sign street…I’m sorry, ideally I would love him to stay longer but long term plans

Positions to sort, that’s the first thing and, imho, we need to look at:

Priority - keeper, or two.
Defence - centre back (Anderson deserves another year, surely) plus 1 new
Midfield - Fornah or someone like him
Attack - Striker and a winger who can play left or right.
