I’m aware I’m missing a CDM but can’t think of someone to put there atm (a defensively sound physical presence to pair with Arblaster). And I’m not sure on my prices for each player as it depends on what the clubs want, I’m just basing mine off market values.
Would be a busy window but I’d be looking at letting Souza, Anel and Vini go that should raise about 40m, parachute payments and other possible departures (hamer?) could make there likely.
R.Giles (or A.Doherty) £6-10m? – Luton have 2 quality LBs and can’t see either settling for the bench so whichever they don’t prioritise as their starter I’d take at the lane.
C.Adams – could be going on a free and has done decent this season for Southampton, could be a decent pick up for us to bring him back to the lane.
M.Whittaker £8-12m? – clearly too good for Argyle, if they go down could be even cheaper.
V.Johansson £4-7m – would be a cheap pick for a good keeper since Rotherham have gone down.
S.Szmodics £10-15m – has proven himself in the league this season, could create plenty and link up nicely but would be a more expensive move.
B.Brereton-Diaz £10-20m – bit more of a stretch but could potentially happen would be happy to take another winger with a similar play of cutting inside.
J.Greaves £10-20m – a young physical defender, getting into the England youth and playing well with Hull, good in the air but another stretch.
Would also be happy with some free transfers like Luke Ayling for the quality and depth on the bench which is also where I would have Egan and Ozzy but also the experience he comes with.

We don’t have enough money to afford some of the players mentioned here, let alone multiple of them
Bold, i’ll give you that! I think you’re setting yourself up for disappointment tbh.
40m for outgoings is a stretch already, who would buy our players based on performance? They’ll know we’re desperate to sell so will go for cheap.
I think the plan will be to sell who we can, it’ll be much cheaper to retain a bulk of our players, and only ditch the real dead weight. Then we’ll sign 3/4 players in remaining positions once you factor the youth prospects who we’ll rely way too much on.
