All things 2026 Summer Transfer Window
I predict our main striker will be a loan striker from a lower end championship club
Where do we start ? ![]()

Obvious ones for me are our main striker being ours for once our number one keeper being ours for once and some midfielders who can actually pass a ball and create something.
Goalkeeper, right back, left back, entire midfield except Pattinson and entire forward line simple really
Frankie Maguire at Boston. 8 goals and 9 assists in 32 games. Looks like he is good with set pieces too
Can see a couple of players staying on, likes of Comley, Farquharson and Adomah.
New Keeper - Hornby - Kilroy
New RB - New RB / Ahui
New CB - Burke - Farquharson - New CB - Williams - Straw
Hancock - Harper
New CDM - Comley
Pattison - New CM - New CM - Hollman - Clarke
New RW - Adomah
New Striker - New Striker - New Striker - Pressley
New LW - Maher
So 12 new signings needed.
Danny Ormerod, Luca Thomas, Jack Payne, Ollie Wright, Ossama Ashley, Ryan Finnigan, Sil Swinkels just a few names of some players we should be looking at.
Not sure if Williams will come back the player he was so maybe add couple of central defenders, so will just need the 11 new first team players. Maybe add a few more squad players for good measure
I wouldn’t get your hopes up regarding 3 new strikers signing .
Nothing happening until some midfielders of actual football ability are signed.
We only have one contracted striker at the club in Aaron Pressley.
If we can’t expect the club to have four strikers for next season, may aswell accept 16th already.
We need two good permanent strikers signed and another Lowe/Kanu type loan, but one we aren’t completely relying on that they get recalled in January, for a FIFTH season running.
Agreed.
But do you think these clowns in charge will be looking at those players you suggest and investing in forward areas ? I don’t mind speculative low risk investing - I’m talking proper wages on a few players to kick us on.
I don’t.
You forgot at least one quality center half
I just want the first few signings to have abit of intent. This season has shown we’ve missed out due to not having the required quality.
Like with Finnigan, out of contract at Blackpool, we know he’s got quality, go and get him. He’d be our player then, no worry of him being recalled and has plenty of time to develop aswell with him still being young.
With the season ending weeks ago and no play offs this year, we won’t be going into July this year still waiting for players to decide on whether they’re staying or not, you’d like to think they’ve had discussions with players already, you’d like to think anyway.
Agree with your list and the type of players we need.
Do they need a new Head of Recruitment? ![]()
We certainly need the be better at it. The guy was only appointed in January but the Summer is going to be a big test. I would like a smaller but better quality squad.
Start of November actually. He failed miserably in January.
I’d be happy with Jamie Cureton atm
