Was I the only one that thought he played very poor last year? Yeah sure he got a goal every few games but did he ever deserve those goals, No.Gary Hooper-I have nothing against Hooper just think its would be best for both club and player to part ways, however I wouldn''t accept anything under the 6Million mark for him.Ricky Van Wolfswinkel (Loan)-Similar to my method with Fer, loan Van Wolfwinkel to a Eredivisie team such as PSV for a season and if he plays well give him one last shot if we go up and if we don''t and he plays well it will increase his sell on value.My First Team Squad 2014/15:D.RuddC.ChristieR.MartinS.HutchinsonM.OlssonB.JohnsonE.BennettN.RedmondJ.MellisL.BecchioL.Grabban-C.NashS.WhittakerM.KeaneD.FoxA.SurmanP.BamfordG.Holt-R.MatthewsA.GatafitiT.BlackettR.Hall-JohnsonJ.MurphyJ.LozaI already can predict that everyone is going to slate this because its controversial but I feel that this squad is compact, young but still good enough to win promotion.I know its a small squad but with a vast loan window available in the Championship I feel that if someone gets injured there is solutions available.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted June 6, 2014 You''re getting rid of most of our key players there by choice. Players such as Ruddy, Bennett, Turner, Howson, Snodgrass and Hoolahan should be very good in the Championship, but you don''t think any of those six are good enough? I may have questioned a couple of them before, but all of them should be important players this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lharman7 39 Posted June 6, 2014 Decent write up but how can you rate Bunn over Ruddy? Has Bunn been anywhere near the England set up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would have jettisoned most of our players who may stand out at this level and replaced them with inexperienced players (albeit with potential) in one fell swoop. I think it would be madness.
