If all three full backs are on two year deals I think we have enough, with Richman as emergency cover.  Personally full back is the one area I'd have offered one year deals to see how they get on against the wingers in the higher league, but if PP is confident enough in all three of them to offer them two year deals then there is no reason to get a fourth fb in because one of the existing three wouldn't even make the bench for two years.

Similarly seems odd to give Williams and Richman two year deals when they couldn't get in the first team in the north, but again if PP is happy with them as squad players then we have to trust him.      We just need that Lundstram shaped hole in our midfield filled now.

If we still had the budget to make a couple more signings, I'd be considering a Right Back and a Central Midfielder.


I'd then line up with a back five of:

Tony (to start with at least), New RB (if not, Densmore), Sutton, Mullarkey, Hampson


I'd then keep Moult as the pivot midfielder and bring in a box-to-box midfielder alongside him (e.g. Lundstram) - if not, Sean Williams and Simon Richman are both viable options


Finally, in terms of attack, this is where the biggest headache is because one can only presume Clayton has been promised football because otherwise what's the point in coming here but then again both Hulme and Hancock seem undroppable.  So I'd use Clayton in both the striker and CAM role during pre-season and if he looks a very big improvement on Jord or Hanks he comes in.  Then, the same for the wingers.  Mooney nailed on for RW for me - he was impressive during the play-offs and then it's between Ceesay and Kosylo for the other flank - Kosylo is almost a copy of Mooney but right-footed whereas Ceesay has the pace but less of a goal-scoring presence.  Ceesay was excellent when he had a very fast JJ on the other side so I wonder if Parky would like to have two very similar wingers to start with and then use Ceesay's pace in any of the front three positions off the bench.  Definitely very excited to see what pre-season brings though - could we even see Parky experimenting with new systems such as a 3 back (as long as he doesn't do it in a Champions League Quarter-Final like Pep did!)


Anyway, obviously all this is speculation and there is one man's opinion that matters more than everyone else and in Parky, I will always trust!

You seem to be playing 12.  In a 5 -2 -3-1 formation!

So if Mooney starts are we expecting Kosylo or ceesay on the bench?  Three really good options for two slots, which side do they all prefer?

The interviewer is John Edwards not Mr Flynn.

Sutton's days as a full back are behind him listening to his interview and PP's comments

Good to hear we’ve got most of the squad on two year deals. Also interesting g to hear he sees ceesay as a future no 9. So presumably adds to the cover we have for Jordan

Slightly surprised that the more signings question only got a ‘possibly’. As it stands we only have Moult, Williams and Richman for the two CM slots don’t we? Surely we need more in there?  I wouldn’t have thought he’d let Max go unless he had something planned

See PP’s interview on main site. Still part time.

Thing with wanting another forward is where or when will they play?  We play with one up front and that spot is already filled. We are t going to find a national league quality forward prepared to sit on the bench until Jordan gets injured or suspended. It’s a role Peers is prepared to do and I’m. It sure how much higher quality we can find that will be that patient. I’d hope Parky has his eye on a couple of potential loans that could be brought in on short notice if Jordan does face a spell out of action
