It's time...
Ethan Cardwell was mentioned in another thread and I like when specific names, not just needs, are floated. So who would you like - ideal world - to see us target this summer?
I'll put my money where my mouth is and name 5 I would love - and are semi-realistic - who I think would improve our squad, or have the potential to grow into a key player.
1. Alex Kirk (Arsenal, loan at Bromley this year).
Strong, 21, young, developing CB. It's a gut feeling - I believe he's out of contract at Arsenal this summer and I think he's ready to step into a League Two team (if they retain him, a loan is also fine). We need more young players with potential and if Masterson leaves (gut feeling) we need someone who can play that right side CB position. He can play the ball well and steps up. A developmental signing like Ogie.
2. Joe Pritchard (Accrington)
AML, 27, Out of contract, Southern Roots, quality leader, good on the ball and capable of giving us an option on the left, further forward. Very versatile. Has had some injuries but would add a lot of quality.
3. Anthony Hartigan (Mansfield)
Central Midfielder, out of contract, did well playing at Barnet this year, 24. Good technical player, still lots of potential and I think he can step into L2 and be useful. We lack depth in central midfield and if our wing backs will feature heavily in future play, we need guys in the middle who can handle the game. Solid passer and set pieces too.
4. Idris Kanu (Barnet)
24, Right footed, left wing back or wide player. Good one on one, thrives getting forward. Probably a long shot signing as he'd need a fee and I'm sure other EFL teams have noticed him, but the sort of player who could succeed in SC's system.
5. Jayden Fevrier (Colchester)
20, Again overly optimistic as he'd need a fee but a similar player to Kanu, and someone who ticks the box for what we need. Someone who thrives one on one, can pass or take people on when isolated. Can play as a wing back or further forward - someone who'd get the crowd excited.
I'm sure the last two are optimistic because Fee$, as I say, but if the first three are out of contract/released, they'd add a lot of quality to our broader squad options. All 3 could start in my eyes.
