We know it's going to be limited due to PSR.
I'd like us to sign an experienced 'keeper to challenge Griffiths and, if required, take that spot since we know Wildsmith isn't up to it in any way. This may be a case of looking at the free market, or finding a third keeper in the Prem that may be able to be signed very, very cheaply for 18 months.
Someone to play right wing back, much needed, never want to see Johnston there again, and Wallace can't do it all game, every game.
With the numbers we have and Whitwell, I would leave central midfield for now, Ramsey's style suits Mowatt and Molumby well, so a weakness we had before is somewhat aleviated especially since he seems willing to play Price there, (I concede on that one Lurker.)
Want to see us look to promote from the youth now, see what gaps can be filled from there and look to use them, two reasons, one, because we should be as I keep saying, two, if relegated, they'll be big parts of the squad for us most likely, so get them blooded.

GK, CH, CM, ideally. One of the outfielders to be a leader of men. Oh for a McInnes or Darren Fletcher

We already have too many CH's, no way the board will sign another, especially sinc ethey aren't on pittance wages either.
CM, I can't see us signing better than we in the winter with our money for this system.

I'm really interested to see if Alex Williams gets fit. He looked very promising and could help at RWB.
IMO we lack leadership and old fashioned snotters so I'd like to see if we can find a Schnar, Gregan, McIness type. Someone with a bit of gravitas that others will look up to. Can't think who though....
IMO we simply have to start keeping clean sheets so if that means an experienced keeper coming in then I think that's sensible.

True, but that would be my wish list. A tough no nonsense experienced CH. (it won’t happen). The injuries to M, M and D show our frailty in midfield . I think Molumby will thrive in Ramsey’s set up.

One loan… possible a RWB if we are lucky.

If you have a young keeper, it's best to have an experienced head that can be trusted to help them. Wildsmith isn;t that guy, and to be fair, he was awful when played, but Button was brilliant for Palmer when he was made number 1.

I’d probably gamble on Griffith staying fit/not suspended for 6 months to ensure an extra potential math winner outfield player. Nobody knows how much wriggle room we really do or don’t have, many thought we couldn’t afford to sack Mason, me included. Guess this is where have to trust in Nestor.
In the form of his life.

I think you're right tbf.
I'm saying what I'd like that could be realistic, but I see your view as most likely.

2 signings.
A fast ball carrying, dribbling forward.
A wingback, ideally RWB.
Less concerned with CM if he's going to select 5 attacking players not 4.
