If we go down. Jonson Clarke-Harris 27 goals so far this season, and Siriki Dembele who scored 2 yesterday and has 10 assists so far.
Both play for Peterborough in League one. At the moment they are second and look like getting promoted.
They will not cost a fortune and would be good additions to our squad.
Other players who came from the lower divisions are doing very well. Toney at Brentford and watkins now at Villa
Hard to see why any of those players would want to come and play Parker Ball at Fulham.

Try living in Peterborough and you'll have enough.
Let Mitro go, keep Maja and try to bring in Reading's Lucas João = quick, fluid front 2
Rangers are thinking about signing Jonson Clarke-Harris. As it looks like we are going down we should try and get him for a few million, we need a proven Goalscorer.
Clarke Harris scored 2 more yesterday. 31 for the season and Peterborough are now promoted. Takes a good Pen as well.
He must be worth a chance, 3 million should do it. like i said before look how Watkins and Toney are doing, both bargain buys from lower divisions. and lets not forget where Vardy came from.

If we cant outbid Rangers we really are in a bad way.
Off the cuff some that we could Realistically get:
Nick Powell, Alexander Mighten, Adam Reach, Josh Windass.
And a few wildcards, Jordan Rhodes, Yakou Meite, Sammi Abeobe (swap for knocky).
Erling Haaland.....but, is he overated..... definitely overpaid

agree, think our best bet is to try to get promoted with as little changes/spending as possible (but we do need a couple of attacking players and CM's) and then go all in with another 100m spend in the PL next year.
Only 3 of the teams that have been promoted in the last 3 years are still in the PL...Villa, Wolves and Leeds. Looking back at the players that got the clubs promoted you will see that very few of them still have a sizeable role in the clubs. 3 for villa and 4 for Wolves, Leeds is the exception here as they have keep a lot of the players that got hem promoted last year. If you go back another year you will see the same thing, only Dunk remain from the Brighton promotion team.
The point is, it is almost impossible to build a team in the Championship that will make it in the PL. We need to get out of the Cship with as little baggage as possible and rebuild quickly in the PL. The problem this time was that we had WAY to much baggage and rebuilding quickly has already been discussed to death in this forum...
Getting promoted with a few PL starters and an additional 10 PL squad players is the best one can hope for.
