Signing Chuck on a pro deal is a must this summer, for me he should be starting next season along side a newly signed striker.
Might be crazy but I do think if Smith is asked to leave he will secure a club with ease injuries permitting.
Can’t make my mind up on Rose, but has scored plenty in league 2 before.
BAS might be okay for league 2 if he stays on his feet.
Wouldn’t be a massive risk signing A Jones.

If we somehow get L Jones, Watson and Chuck to sign I think we will be right up there however at this stage I think we would be lucky even if 1 of them signs.
Huge summer ahead.

Not many would disagree with this; you have already called for opinions if Morris was resigned with mixed results. If JB resigned Mitchell would people go along with JB’s decision?

Opinion might be split on Morris, I don't think it will be on Mitchell.

Mitchell will be working for a living and playing semi pro v soon.
As for BAS, IMO he is the worst striker I have seen at any club for a very long time, what compounds this is the fact he thought he was too good for L1 and the Cobblers. I predict he will like it even less in the agricultural L2 and spend most of the season injured. A far better strategy would be to a) loan him to anyone stupid enough to pay his wages or b) sell him  Tongue

The determining factor in whether BAS , Rose and Smith will be at the club next season will be whether someone takes them off our hands at the same wage level or not .
Smith and Rose have a chance - BAS might as well paint the West Stand to earn his living .
Morris - not really . We need creative players with pace .

Does anyone think we have a realistic chance of signing an aging goalie (33+) from higher divisions that might get released in the summer?

Seems to be quite a few from the Championship that might be available, but guessing wages would be too high for us.

Would happily have Nicholls back after getting released by MK, he is still reasonably rated by their supporters it seems.

Completely agree, I think L Jones needs to sign first and then the keeper as absolute priorities.
We are light all over the pitch but the spine of the team is where you spend you cash.

I think if we can offer a 3 year deal to a strong keeper and sell the project of getting promoted and then establishing in L1 then it should be a possibility to do this. I think Ryan Allsop would be a great option for this - integral for getting Wycombe first settled in L1 then getting promoted to the Champ. According to Wycombe fans he is one of the best shot stoppers around under the Champ and was unlucky to lose his spot to Stockdale and to be released.

A cheaper option might be Callum Burton just released by Cambridge, only 24 but apparently played the second half of the season for them and a big part of getting them promoted, very unlucky to be released according to the U's fans - local so would be a good option even if just a back up?

What about Lee Nichols, a good age only 28, pretty experienced with around 150 games for the donkeys and was good when on loan from Wigan. A good height for a keeper and decent shot stopper. Probably lives locally. Worth a punt

If both have been released ie surplus to requirements by 1st and (an ex) 2nd League sides it says a lot they are probably not good enough for League 1. We should be aiming for a keeper who is without doubt capable at League 1 level and if possible also the Championship.

If you have never seen Burton play how are you sure he isn't L1 level? Cambridge fans saying he was their best keeper!

Players get released for all sorts of reasons. Do you know they've been released because the clubs deem them not good enough for League 1?

I know the club are trying to build a set up for the future, I wonder when they are planning on reaching the Championship ?

Perhaps they've cleaned out the old broom cupboard and found Cardoza's 5 year plan! Grin Grin

That seems ridiculously simplistic, we would have never signed Ricky Holmes on that basis who Portsmouth & their fans thought wasn’t good enough for league 2. Players who are universally deemed good enough to play at a certain level are not going to join a lower division club than that as they are obviously going to get better offers.
With goalkeepers in might not be a case they are released because they are not good enough but because the club don’t want to be paying a first team wage for a guy who might sit on the bench all season or because the player might want first team football.

there will be a reason Nicholls has been released by MK - it might be down to fitness from looking at him !
I would say there is more chance of Cornell coming back than Nicholls .
There must be a lot of keepers that want a first team chance that are currently third choice at decent clubs. It’s a case of if we can afford their wages .

Erhun Oztumer released by Charlton. Still only 29 and would solve our need for a playmaker to play through the lines. The question is would he sign for us?

No chance I would think, but a great player.
