Surely Nelson Abbey will be heading our way? No idea if he's ready for the big league or not, but you'd assume that's the intended pathway for him.

Seems weird to be talking about an Olympicos player as if he was really ours but, assuming that's the case, he's played one game in Greece, so can he be ready for the premier league? Seems more likely we'd leave him there for another season or loan him out elsewhere.
People see conspiracies where they don't exist. When Udinese signed Ebosele, the Derby fans all saw it as a dodge and expected him to move to Watford the next summer. We're nearly 18 months on and maybe he'll go there this summer but at the moment he's still playing for Udinese.
I had to look him up.
Him, Omabamidele, Murillo, Niakhte would be a good four. Though lacking in the air I guess.
After the season we've just had, and one particular specific weakness we've demonstrated especially when Boly has been unavailable, do you think that's something to be glossed over?
“Commanding Centre Half” has to be one of our top priorities. Although if we can get Sangare to play properly/more aggressively as a DM, he’s a unit.
Certainly one of those who looks like he should be good in the air, but even his magnificent showreel had precious little evidence of it.
Dennis was in and out at Watford, certainly didn't set the Championship alight. Worth a look though - certainly a better starting option than Wood when Awoniyi inevitably breaks down again.
For me, Omobamidele is no better than Worrall - Business-wise, I'd sell whichever one gets us the most value (be that transfer fee/wages off the payroll). My homegrown bias wants us to keep Worrall though. Mbe Soh has had a decent season as well on loan, so maybe worth another look pre-season.
Of those out of contract, I'd be looking to keep Aina and Boly. I like Kouyate as well, but his legs are probably done for EPL football now sadly.
For me, I think we can upgrade in pretty much every position, but that is obviously not feasible. But priorities a left-back (unless Richards is ready), right-winger and centre-forward.
If there was a decent offer, I I wouldn't object to selling Neco, to leave Aina first choice RB, Backed up by young Fin.
Hard to imagine that we'd have been worse off with Dennis rather than Origi.
I wonder whether Ben Bre is a possibility to cover central and wide forward positions - doesn't seem like Villareal want him (I know Chile dropped him for not learning Spanish, so that may be causing similar problems for his club), missed a fair few chances against us but 6 from 13 for that shit (only the one penalty) is pretty impressive. Was at the City game and out and about in Nottingham after?
Looks like he should have been in the out of contract list - signed for 4 years in 2020.
Kouyate, Felipe and Hennessey all depart.
As does Riberio and all of the other loanees.
Implies we want to extend Boly's contract and, presumably, that Aina is sticking around.
