Take into consideration his likely budget and FFP. I'll throw Conor McAleny's name out there, first career treble today.

The 3 centre mids from Fulham, and a decent right back.
A striker to be paired with Zahore.
midfielder in the mode of Barry Bannon at Sheff Wed or that number 10 at Fulham. Another midfielder in the graham Kavanagh mode and a quality pacey striker to partner Zahore or play alone when the need arises. I think we have adequate quality in defence, but back up would be nice if not a luxury. But the need for some pace, Steel (although Gunnarson is giving us this at the moment) and creativity in midfield is, IMO essential and top priority.

How about Adel Taraabt to be reunited with Warnock?
He's signed to benfica but their president has publicly stated that he will never play for them again.
He's on loan at Genoa at the moment but has only made a few substitute appearances, although has chipped in with a few assists.
Would probably need to lose a stone or two but if Warnock could get the kind of performances out of him he did when they won the league that would turn almost any average championship club into one competing at the top.
Unfortunately, Taarabt hasn't come close to replicating that form anywhere since.
I had a look on Transfer Markt and according to them Charlie Adam, George Boyd, Vurnon Anita and Wayne Hennessey will all be available for free in the summer
Could be worth taking a look at
Alan Judge (currently injured) is out of contract at the end of the season. I'd love to see us sign him and i think Dale Stephens from Brighton is out of contract too.
I notice Jamie Mackie is out of contract, i wouldnt be surprised if Warnock takes a punt on him. He loves the old tried and tested.
I'd love us to have a look at Chris Forrester from Peterborough but he's probably out of our price range now.

Whomever Neil (may his name be celebrated for eternity) Warnock signs will be fine with me. We already know Vinny feels similarly.
I'd like to see us put in a £250,000 bid for the Aberdeen winger Jonny Hayes...just to piss off their manager again.
Keep lowering the bid until we take him on a free in summer 2018.
