Who Stays and Who goes

[rob_bridge]

Holman , KEA , Hutton , Ireland , Stephens ,  Eric , Dunne , Bannan , Dawkins , Fonz , Given and Makoun

We would not miss any of them     -  goodbye

Id add albrighton to that list

I would have done normally , I think hes been dire lately but maybe he was played too much when young and hes also had injuries a lot . I think I would give him just one more season and see If Lambert can do anything with him as he did  not cost anything. If not , get rid.

Fair comment jp , thanks again for Saturday mate !

Probably give KEA and Holman another season in a (hopefully) improving team to see if they can adapt.
Lots of players don'tplay well in their first season in a new league in a new country. Granted they have less reason than most.

Can't argue with the rest to be fair. Any of them.

I'd flog KEA and Holman.

I wonder if Albrightons ship has sailed,especially with Carruthers and Grealish waiting in the wings.

I'd like to see him get another season as I don't think he's had a real chance since Lambert took over because of injuries.

I don't think it's so much injuries , i just don't think lambert likes playing regularly with out and out wide men- I'm not fussed either way should he stay or go - he needs to deliver if he stays.

I'm undecided on KEA and Holman, but I do think Albrighton needs to be moved on now.

As I see it, we play a midfield three and presently have Westwood, Delph, Sylla, Bannan, KEA, Ireland, Holman, Albrighton and N'Zogbia fighting for those positions.  If you take at least one to come in, which is needed in terms of quality, that's 10 for 3 slots, so wages wise we can't afford that, meaning quite a few need to go.

[DrGonzo]

Given, Stevens, Lichaj, N'zogbia, Ireland, Holman, Bent and the Fonz.  That's 8 out for me, and they would all need replacing with better/more motivated players.  I can't see us getting more than £20 mill for that lot so some sizeable investment would be necessary too, probably the same again  from RL would see us progress.

Since making the first team, Albrighton has probably had a handful of good games, which is very poor. He's a very poor player who I think would struggle in the Championship.

Holman just looks rubbish to me , get rid and replace with Townsend ( qpr/spurs )  . He looks good

[oldtimernow]

We should ask Brad who he would like to play in front of him and Tekkers who he'd like to provide the ammunition from behind and get them in. We would then have a pretty strong spine of a team

Although I think calling him rubbish is a bit harsh, I can't argue he's actually been good.

But then do we write players off too quickly?  Are we certain he won't improve if he stays?  There's more than one player of a better pedigree than him that's taken time to adjust to PL life.

And also, if all these players go we'll need to replace them.  I doubt we'll have mega money in the summer, so having people like Holman on hand to fill out the squad allows us to focus quality over quantity, which is what we need.

He has been CJ at times ,   had the odd alright game but it is not good enough for the prem , like a few down there .

[JUAN PABLO]

plus I saw something where he was moaning Lambert does not even talk to him . He's off , hoping...

Really? I haven't heard anything about that - doubt it would go down too well .

Fair enough if you don't rate him, but my point was more of  a general one that we need to try and make do with some of the lesser lights in the squad, so that we don't end up in a situation where we bring in 9 players again.  It's a fact that is often overlooked, but that's a huge influx Lambert had to deal with this season.  If keeping Holman or similar meant that we could get 1 £10m player and opposed to needing two £5m players, then I'd keep him.
