God knows just how hopeless we'll be, but this looks like a window where planning for relegation is important, while trying to sign players who'll give us some chance of survival. Wilder couldn't complain at having nothing to spend, but I hope he's given the chance to do what's needed, as surely he's learned from mistakes at this point.
A few possibilities/suggestions here...
Dean Henderson - Could we....? Should we? Imagine that....
Defenders
Jake Cooper
Ben Davies
Marcos Rojo
Christian Kabasele
Omar Colley
Moussa Niakhate
Japhet Tanganga
Luke Woolfenden
Danny Rose
Midfielders
Ben Pearson
Calum Chambers
Daniel Johnson
Jed Wallace
Junior Sambia
Olivier Ntcham
Pierre Kunde
Joe Rothwell
Tom Davies
Viktor Kovalenko
Sebastian Vasiliadis
Forwards
Bruno Petkovic
Michael Gregoritsch
Roman Yaremchuk
Three centre forwards there who would all be a big technical and physical upgrade on McBurnie and possibly gettable on manageable terms with relegation in mind, with all of them likely to jump at the chance to play in the PL.
Loans with substantial fees that become permanent upon survival or permanent transfers with low relegation release clauses could be the way to go with many of these.
Preparing for the Championship is something we must have in mind, it would be negligent not to. This is where the out of contract Preston players are extremely interesting - Davies, Pearson and Johnson. All offer things we need or could need. All would be jump at the chance of joining us. Pearson in particular is a must sign for me, he would replace Norwood and ensure this team retains the bite and hunger needed to bounce back.
Add your own suggestions...... I'm sure we couldn't possibly do worse than Wilder, 'Mitch' and co have done in the big league!
