Next years squad 09:55 - Feb 28 with 5448 views | textbackup | Keepers - Palmer, Walton, Muric (give to a charity shop) Defenders - Burgess, Wolf, Townsend, Johnson, Greaves, O’Shea, Clarke, Axel Midfield - Burns, Mass, Morsy, Taylor, Humpries, Ogbene Attack - Chaplin, Broadhead, Omari, JP, Hirst, SS, Clarke May have missed a name or two, but from who will likely still be here… C.Midfield is a massive area to look at… is it? And need another striker (STILL) |  |

Next years squad on 12:00 - Feb 28 by Marshalls_Mullet | Looks like we are agreed. Yeah, I think he'll be a real asset in the Championship. |
Yup - agreed - if we only lose Delap from those 4, not sure who will fancy stopping our forward line, especially considering there is also Szmodics, Chaplin, Hirst, Ogbene, Burns and Al Hamadi as well. We may lose Szmodics - he's not done his reputation any harm, the rest could end up staying - that's quite a force to have in the Champ. |  | |  |

Next years squad on 11:12 - Feb 28 by Marshalls_Mullet | Most reports suggest an initial fee of £25m for Odobert. I could see us maybe getting £20-25m, but no more. I hope youre right though. |
It's an interesting one with Hutch. Second full season as a pro, and whilst not quite as good as last, he's grown into the season and is finding his feet. I think, there are two things that stand in his favour and mean, that his value is greater than many think. Firstly, his work out of possession is really very good/ excellent (at times). In modern football that is worth as much, if not more, than what is done with the ball. Secondly, his attitude and appetite - again, an often underrated thing. I can easily see a Club spending £30m, poss a touch higher on him if we go down and I think it would be a bargain. |  |

Next years squad on 10:37 - Feb 28 by _clive_baker_ | I'd like J. Clarke to stay, I think he could be huge next season. Palmer Tuanzebe Woolfenden Greaves Davis ? Morsy Hutchinson Philogene Clarke Hirst Walton, Burgess, H.Clarke, Townsend, Burns, Humphreys, Taylor, Szmodics, Chaplin, Broadhead. That looks strong, with a couple of choice additions, namely CM and ST. I imagine some of the above will leave, but it could largely be a 1 in, 1 out on those. Assumes we could move on Johnson, Ogbene, O'Shea, Delap, Muric if there's a market for them. O'Shea and Delap are the 2 that will be most coveted I would think. |
I can see why people would want J.Clarke to stay, everybody has their opinions on players, everybody sees things differently, that's no problem for me - it's just my opinion on him - and to be fair I think his performances are a combination of level up, our system and confidence - but if we could get anything back on him, and still think he'd appeal to many teams, I'd take it. What made us previously so successful was the cohesion, culture and stability of the group, and I think it's a really important summer for us to settle on a strong group - that if we make the jump up again, we may not need to make so many additions to. I think we will try to keep the likes of O'Shea, Johnson, Ogbenne for that reason. [Post edited 28 Feb 13:19]

Next years squad on 11:18 - Feb 28 by bsw72 | I would suggest that our league position is a better indicator of our players abilities rather than a fans view. As for Odobert, it was EUR37M - £30M. |
Odobert is a good comparison By all accounts Odobert went for £20m plus add ons after a season very similar to Omari's stats-wise. Albeit Odobert wasn't a starter at the beginning of the season and is a year younger than Omari So the Odobert fee of £20m plus is about right if anyone wants to bring Omari back to the prem should we get relegated. The problem with this is that his value will barely have increased from what we paid for him, so it's unlikely we'd sell for that No one is paying £40m for Omari Hutchinson just yet |  | |  |

I really struggle to understand why his value hasn't increased. In the summer he was a top level Championship player with excellent pedigree. £20m was a fair price. He's now all of the above, with a strong season for a relegated side under his belt. He is comfortably worth £30m. |  | |  |

Because his value isn't dictated by what we paid for him |  | |  |
Next years squad on 16:21 - Feb 28 with 508 views | ThisIsMyUsername | Keep seeing people include Burns and Ogbene. Realistically are they going to be the same players? Will they have the same level of pace and confidence? What if Burns' ACL or Ogbene's Achilles goes again? Are any players ever the same after those types of injuries? They'll likely do a job in the Championship, I'm sure, but I wonder if they'd be moved on if we stayed up (which of course we still could)? Will Luongo and Morsy's legs still be up for it in the Championship? Obviously the difference is massive but they're clearly both off it in the Premiership and they'll be a year older still.
