many a good song on old clarinet lymsie...know we want young n fresh but the 'media' frenzy over rio n chubbs gaining momentum.....staying up is a must!

Naughton is a right back by trade so a definite no for me at left back trying to use his right foot. Think Yun has showed some potential, no reason why the coaching staff can't really get to work on him over the summer and have him starting for us next season? If not, what about the lad from ipswich, Aaron Cresswell?

Both quite cheap team to assemble and we keep 5 6 or 7 players from this years team which is important in my opinion. Good thing to see is none of want to go down the same route as last time.

wow forget him in my narrow mindedness mate....he's in for me...will edit op!

[maidstone_hoop]

cresswell is a great shout, been fantastic player for ipswich as has johnny williams. Some very talneted players in the championship

[D3nisBail3ySliP]

Maybe a cheeky hijack of jake livermore would be a good move.

[Fordy]

You lot seen Ferdinand play this season? Absolute turd

[maidstone_hoop]

Patrick bamford would be a great investment too - the boy scores goals and to have him in and around the squad this year would be great

In standard other day he's quoted as Jose telling him he's got first team chance next season

Surprised so many people picking Barton. For me not good enough for the prem, very good championship player though.

I think alot of want to see a core of this years team in that first 11 and barton has been outstanding for us imo. think he more than warrants his place. The bottom half of the prem is not all that and imo he can hold his own amongst the bottom clubs as long as we have a creative midfielder with a engine beside him.

Agree wholeheartedly! Definitely good enough for prem on effort alone he had a lot of making up to do this year and boy did he do it, and the way he celebrated made me love him more, plus spoke very well in his interview on pitch, praising derby etc and seems to me that he is very much an integral part of the team spirit that we've missed for few seasons
