Re: Midfielders for next season.
Why would Hourihane leave Villa for Cardiff, probably the same question applies to Bannon.

Re: Midfielders for next season.
Bradley Johnson, Lee Gregory, Conor Washington as striker
Keiran Westwood if Etheridge goes

Re: Midfielders for next season.
Bit of an obvious suggestion but hard not to imagine that Warnock will be interested in Will Vaulks.

Your opinion of course. Personally i think its bollox and we went up because the likes of Ralls easily competed and got the better of midfields at that level and will do again.

Yes I'd agree , our midfield did the job , Ralls was very good ,best I've seen him at that level .
We will miss Gunnerson so badly.

I'd grab him now bigger clubs are onto his talent ,

We can improve on Gunner if anything. Our promotion team was not overrun.
Just need to get the right signings.

If you're refering to my reply I didn't say the team was overrun, I said the midfield was.
What's Ralls' strengths exactly, because I honestly don't know? He's not particularly adept at passing, not strong in the tackle (tends to get caught the wrong side of the player) and doesn't score too many goals.

33 isn’t that old.
Looked as if he still had an engine when I saw him last season.
Those 4 were the only ones of any interest on that list.
I’d expect we are going to have to buy rather than pick up frees.

Re: Midfielders for next season.
Marcus Maddison of Peterborough United. Mid 20's, averaged over 20 goals/assists in the last 4 seasons in League One. He's in the final year of his contract next season and very likely a Championship team will come in for him.

Good shout.
But does he play the same role as Reid ?
Same goes for Nick Powell
I like the 2 at QPR, Freeman and Luongo.
If QPR still have financial problems maybe they would sell.
Lee Evans looked really good for Sheff Utd, but got offloaded to Wigan and hasn’t played much there.
Any one know the story ?
He could be a cheap option.
Only 24 and the type of project Warnock thrives on.
Paul Coutts has been released at Sheffield too. Their fans seem to rate him. Can’t really say I know much about him
Another one who impressed last season was Ben Pearson at Preston. Again, no idea what he would cost, just throwing a name out there.
Volks and Ampadu are also names likely to be linked.

Re: Midfielders for next season.
We’ve also been linked with David Turnbull from Motherwell

Do you think he will stay with Sheff Utd now they are up ?
Also, again isn’t he more of an attacking mid like Reid.

Re: Midfielders for next season.
Joe Aribo at Charlton is another who seems destined to play at a higher level.

I think Smithies will step in if Etheridge goes.Would need someone to keep him on his toes though.

Re: Midfielders for next season.
Craig Bryson is out of contract and would be a championship version of Harry Arter. Whilst Ralls struggled this season cast your mind back to our promotion year and he put in some great performances. I also think like some others that Reid would do a great job in midfield with a couple of ball winners around him. David Meyler is a player who has always done well against us and I think Reading want to get shot of him due to a falling out of some sort. He’d also lend a huge amount of experience and some leadership to the midfield which we currently don’t really have following our departures.

Re: Midfielders for next season.
Damour's still here as well isn't he? Decent Championship squad player

Meyler is a good shout.
How old is he ?
Not sure about Bryson now though

Need 2 decent keepers and I rate Westwood highly.
Warnock was after him last summer
