Some of the comments about players "not being premier league standard" make me laugh. Teams in the bottom two thirds of the table, as we will be, all have a number of players who are "not premier league standard" (whatever that means). Gary O'neil may not be as good as Lionel Messi but he does a job. And next season we are going to need 25 players who can do a job, even if they aren't all in the first eleven, and even if the fans can see that they aren't all Lionel Messi.
It's all well and good to say we shouldn't re-sign Gary O'neil but who will we replace him with? If we get rid of all our players who are supposedly "not premier league", we are going to need to sign about 20 new players before the start of the season.'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf. 'My dear Frodo, that is just what the Rangers are: the last remnant in the South of the great people, the Men of West London.' - Lord of the Rings, Book II, Chapter I - Many Meetings.

We have a nucleus of a team, who have played together for a season (even though it was in the Championship). For a smaller club to survive in the premiership, they need this type of team and not one or two individuals who think they are too good to be playing for us. Add a few players with premiership experience in the positions needed, and we should be fine. Otherwise there doesn't seem much point in us getting promoted.

According to SSN he, along with Ale, Traore, and BZ are in ongoing discussions regarding renewals.
Anyway, as above, what's all this "not good enough" malarkey about.
I recall the likes of Delaney and Gabbidon, to name but two, that "weren't good enough for us" in the lower leagues, let alone the PL according to some but they managed pretty well with Palace last year.
Some of our fan base has delusions of grandeur, others just love a moan up and others, well, I think I'll leave it there#standuptocancer
