Canary Poirot 1 Posted May 6, 2014 Why worry about which players will leave in the summer? Most of our first team this season have been garbage and should they want to leave we should let them. Those that under performed (the wolf) should be shipped out if we can get a good price for them. We''ll still have a good squad for next season. Look at our midfield for starters. Hoolahan (if we can persuade him to stay), fox and surman (back from his loan at Bournemouth) and that''s three quarters of the midfield that got us promoted last time in place. Add Elliot Bennett wide right and we''ve got a strong midfield. Defensively we''ve got Martin right back, we''ve got enough good solid cloggers to play centre back (turner and Bennett are easily good enough at championship level). We might need a new left back though if we can''t hang onto Olson. Up front is where the problems are. We''ve got no pace there and unless we cponvert Redmond to a central striker we''re going to need at least two, if not three new strikers. I''d ship out hooper, The wolf and becchio. All in all, there''s plenty to be optimistic about next season even if 10 players left in The summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted May 6, 2014 Contracts excluding I would make the lot of them stay. They got us here, they can get us back. So my starting 11 will be the same as this seasons plus 1 or 2 new signings. This squad under the right manager should get out of that league. We have the money to keep the squad together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manbearpig 0 Posted May 6, 2014 Been saying it for a few years now i would like to see us sign Jordan Rhodes. Sell Hooper, RvW and Fer and get him he bangs them in in the championship and I think he will make the step up the following season. Can see Rickie Lambert leaving the Saints this summer also. Personally I think we will keep Ruddy hes settled in the area and spent most of his career on the bench and don''t think he will want to do the same again now, he will give us 1 more season.

Syteanric 1 Posted May 7, 2014 [quote user="ARCHIEGEMMELL"]Olsson will be off...he''s too good a commodity for championship football next season.[/quote] but has (will be) relegated twice...perhaps he''s just not good enough for the top level either?

Kirkstall Yellow 0 Posted May 7, 2014 BunnMartin, Bennet, Turner, Olsson (hopefully!)E. Bennet, BJ, Howson, RedmondHoops, Becchio.I think we may struggle to keep hoops, becchio, olsson and howson though.that team, of course, assumes that we have also lost ruddy, seb, fer, tettey, wes, snodgrass and RVW.although, i just can''t see McNally letting 11 first team players leave.
