Who is delighted we have kept our best players! (so far...)

There have been a few threads with concerns about lack of incoming players, but I would consider it a major success & boost to keep hold of our best players:-

 

Lambert

Lallana

Schniederlin

Fonte

 

Must admit most concerned about Lambert who is virtually irreplaceable at this level IMO.

 

So far so good then......

Yes with their sales we could strengthen in other areas - but these guys proved this season they are/can be the best in this league which is vital to our promotion hopes.

 

If Cortese can keep the vultures away this season he will have done very very well.

 

Thoughts?.........

IMHO Lallana and Schneiderlin WILL move up to CCC or Prem

We are no longer a selling club and I honestly think none of our key players will be going anywhere

 

We will only sell if the offer is tooooo ridiculous to refuse ...not even sure the old argument of "you can't stop the player" will apply ...I suspect Cortese is the type who'd rather let a player "rot in the reserves" than leave against the club's wishes

 

How things have changed :)

they were loaners, but Antonio and Papa will be missed

 

Antonio yes but not Papa, he didn't set the world alight and most of his goals were in the cup. Hopefully Cortese/Pardew are working on getting Antonio back but even if they are not I will trust their judgment on who they bring in. That Oxley chap looks very promising anyway.

I agree, its a great point. So glad if we start the season with Schneiderlin, as I thought he might want out, as was the rumour last year. Shows he believes in what the club are doing if he and the others stay. 1 more CM and ST will really put us in pole position.
