I often post suggestions for players , like Newy and a few more, but I tend to suggest players to suit what the manager suggests he wants, not a different style to what Neil tends to go for.
I.e. Warnock , Pulis , Allardyce , Dyche , Wilder , - beasts all through the spine from keeper to CF .
I prefer the pace , technique, skill and power type and think we have an opportunity in this window to lay down a marker for a Boro style , and copy MCFC , West Ham , Arsenal , LFC etc , and more importantly , the 2 / promoted teams in the championship, in the style of play, who go for the similar style.

What would you prefer as a fan , or is a win a win ?

I would like
Keinan Davis loan
Reiss Nelson loan
Harvey Elliott loan
Siriki Dembele LW CF free
Okenabirhie LW AM CF free
Dion Charles LW CF free
Carlos Mendes Gomes LW AM free
Aaron Collins LW CF RW free
And a few I have missed off.
And the younger ones to come through in
Kyle Joseph CF age 19 free
Kwadwo Baah LW age 18 free
Thomas Robert age 20 free
The now , and the future .
Thoughts ?
Warnock wants experience so maybe all the above won't get a consideration., but he did say he likes watching the way the top teams play, so will he go for a change of direction, or a mix?
Kebano and Bolasie are more my type.

Pace and power are the antithesis of skill aren't they?

Pace power and height are all physical attributes: the cornerstones of hoofball.

Technique and skill are the alternatives to these physical attributes.

By asking for pace, power and skill, you sound like you are sitting on the fence.

I'm sure we'd all like all those attributes, but that's just cakeism. The difficult decision is what are you prepared to do without?

For example, I'm sure we'd all like our new strikers to be cheap, proven at this level and with their best days ahead of them. That's not going to happen; we'll get 2 of those attributes at best, and cheap will have to be one of them. Which of the other 2 do we think we can best do without?

I have added technique frozen horse , as you rightly say , it is a part of the requirement .
Proven would be
Davis
Elliott
Nelson
The rest are cheap - free , with their best days ahead of them . Proven at div 1 , with the ability to step up to championship .

Ollie Watkins - cheap at £2m from Exeter , pace , power , unproven then , proven now .
Jamal Lowe similar
Jarod Bowen
Vardy
Can be done , it’s finding them , and spotting the potential .

That I agree with: there is quality in the lower divisions. It is always a bit of a gamble though. Some will not adjust to playing in a higher division, but since "proven players" don't bring their stats with them, it's a risk worth taking.

Let there be no "buy from league one, you end up in league one" talk this Summer. That's what we had when linked with Watkins and Dack; Toney was dismissed as useless on the basis of one cup performance against us for Peterborough. Nor should there be any "can't get excited about that" when we sign unknowns: I'd much rather a signing create excitement when he plays than when he signs.

Kebano and Bolasie are most defiantly Warnock's type of player.. otherwise they wouldn't have been here. Watmore too. I think Marcus Browne would have had a much bigger role to play in the side had it not been for his injury.

I would be very surprised if Reiss Nelson is not in consideration
