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

[tarzansbrother]

Who do people think? For me has to be Darren Bent. His goal tally will decide our season.

[DangerousBri]

If we can get him the service then yeah its got to be Darren Bent for me

[luke25]

Bent is the obvious stand out player but I have a feeling based on absolutely nothing but a few ESPN matches that Holman is suited to the English game and will have a great season for us.

[timeoutbigbar]

Has to be Darren.  N'zogbia has the potential to be massively influential this season if he can get off to a good start.  I appreciate he hasn't had the best of pre-seasons (or last season for that matter) but *cliche warning* class is permanent.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

KEA looks a touch of class to me and in a position to influence a game

[pauliewalnuts]

KEA.

If he settles quickly, can be very influential in totally changing the way we play.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Yes it has to be Bent. Any team with a player getting 20 goals or close to that will nearly always be top half.

[garyshawsknee]

Concrete Ron could become vital,not just as a player,but as a leader and holte end hero.

[serbentoflight]

An interested and on-form Stephen Ireland.

[Toronto Villa]

Bent obviously but KEA because he will dicate our approach to games. It would be nice to have Makoun available as I think he'd be nice to have next to KEA. They both like to pass and move. It would also be nice to see s full season out of Ireland. He has the ability to make a real difference.

[cdbearsfan]

Hutton.

[Monty]

Bent or Ireland, but I also think Bannan may finally have that breakthrough season many of us have been hoping for.

[not3bad]

Hopefully any one out of a spine of Given/Guzan, Vlaar, KEA, Ireland and Bent.  But if Bent's the one banging in the goals then he'll catch the eye.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Bent. Goals win matches and he can score lots of them.

However, if he can be bothered, it should be Ireland as he's probably the most talented player we have be quite a distance.

[JJ-AV]

Another one for El Ahmadi. Bent is the player to take us from midtable to top 8, but we can get by without him should Gabby get back to his best.

If El Ahmadi flops (I don't think he will) what are we left with?
