Our most important player this coming season from the current squad?

[Monty]

Bent. An £18m+ striker, we need 15+ Premier League goals from him at a minimum.

He is not a Rooney or Drogba. He is a goal poacher and can only succeed with service. For Bent to score a team must dominate play, something we didn't do last season. Let's hope we can give him the the right support and than I am sure 18+ goals will be delivered.

Not true in fact - to dominate play we may need more from Bent. Bent has previously been at his best on the counter-attack.

[Villafirst]

Warnock

[DrGonzo]

For me we need to get our midfield ticking.  It's all about the ball, winning it, keeping it and distributing it far better than we did last year.  Players such as Ireland, Bannan and Holman will do some of this but not all, El Ahmadi looks to be the player who will win, hold and distribute...he the man, I hope.

[PaulTheVillan]

Darren Bent.

Let's create chances, he will take them.

[Chris Smith]

If his Norwich side is anything to go by a Lambert team is more than the sum of its parts. In which case I don't see us having a "most important player" but rather important contributions from many different individuals.

[Mellin]

Ireland did well last season in difficult circumstances. This system suits him, so if he can keep his head straight, I suspect we might get a big year out of our most technically gifted player.

[The Left Side]

KEA for me

[Salsa Party Animal]

KEA and Ireland for me

[The Laughing Policeman]

I  want it to be Wee Barry, the potential is there we've seen flashes of it, he now needs to do it consistently week in week out.

[Witton Warrior]

An interested and on-form Stephen Ireland.

Have to agree - any reproduction of his form before he joined us (that says it all doesn't it!) could be difference between scraping by and actually producing consistently good performances.

More goals from midfield and defence please...

[bob]

Gabby. When he's at his best, we're at our best. I'm predicting big things from him this season. BIG things!

[GJH]

Holman, Ireland and Bent

Al Ahmadi looks good but not sure.

Ron Vlaar will be tremendous at the back

[ez]

Bent. Keep him fit and its 20 goals guaranteed.

I think you're spot on there Chris.

First thought was Ireland. Then I thought about it for 10 seconds and it has to be Bent really. If he can avoid too many injury lay-offs then I think based on how we look to be set up and the other players in the team, he might well be good for 20+ goals this season. I think I might be right in saying that we've. It had a 20 league goals a season striker since Peter withe? Yorkie would've come close, but I think bent could well be the man this season, injuries permitting.
