8. Has been a superb season to be a fan of the club. If you're asked whats the 'ideal' way to have a football club run...it's self sustaining, local lads, playing exciting football and winning games. We're not far off that. A bit deeper squad and a better push for the cup and don't think it's realistic for us to have done any more this season.

Morgan and Reed both out. Running out of players! Already know Poch doesn't like playing Cork and Wanyama together - might have to! Can't see us scoring with a midfield of Cork, Wanyama, Davis, Lallana, JWP. Is Gaston fit?

What an odd post.

If this has to happen I wouldn't be against us looking at trying to negotiate a deal to take one or two of theirs...Welbeck + £25m anyone?

Moyes wouldn't be a good fit here. No thanks.

So you're saying they both did a **** poor job in the NPC? And spending a joint £2m on them was a waste of money ?

Who's that Rickie bloke?

You're an absolute moron. Fox and Hooiveld played the majority of the season and we got promoted. That's a pretty key part. How many assists did Fox get that season, and Jos got a few goals. What more would you ask for from our promotion team?

I guess the argument is, do you pick the players with the biggest reputations who have been playing for England for years and failed, or do you give the younger lads a chance to go and get some big tournament experience so they're ready to put up a good fight at the next euros and world cup potentially giving us the opportunity to be better in the long term. I know where I would rather see us put our hopes.

Thats almost as good as a reason to play someone because they're a 'nuisence' (Andy Carroll)

True, still dont understand what Lampard brings to the team anymore.

Lampard has done absolutely nothing so far, why is he on the pitch? He's done.

Unsurprising that Cole looks off the pace, he's barely played in the last 6 months!

Hasn't Lewandowski pretty much been a Bayern player all season ?!?

Lallana and Shaw a must, and arguably Lovren in the first half of the season.

Clyne is better, but Chambers is an academy kid. They seem to prefer investing the opportunities in the academy kids IMO.

I think he could....but I would be concerned that he would come as a bit of a 'big time charlie' and would be on a different level of wages compared to the rest of the playing squad.

Thats a bargain for a player of that quality. I suspect he might end up at a "bigger" club than us.

Pretty sure you can pass a medical despite being injured. Not sure how it works mind.

We already have 2 right backs, and he's not good enough positionally to play in the middle. Would also likely cost upwards of £60k/week. Not the kind of player I'm bothered about personally.

Can't see them going for another unproven top manager. Will surely be Van Gaal, Simeone, or Klopp.

Yup, was on my list yesterday. Looks a talent.

I do think if we're to lose Shaw to a big club, it wouldn't be bad business trying to get a player or two in return.

I like him. He's a good player. However I don't see where he would play. He'd probably play out wide for us but is a poacher, so not sure it would work. Could he play up top on his own, I'm not so sure.

I just don't see us buying players from teams around us, they'd cost too much and we like to develop our own players into the prem culture, rather than being a gob****e from another club.
