wba1996 made a good post in the West Ham match thread about just how much work needs to be done over the summer, so I thought it'd make for a good new thread to talk about which players should stay and which should go.
As far as the GK positions - as long as Foster and Myhill stay fit I see no reason to change either of them. Lindegaard I'd sell or release.
Next up we've got the defenders...
Jonas Olsson - Release. Backup for injury crisis possibly but nothing more.
James Chester - Keep.
Jonny Evans - Get signed on a longer deal.
Seb Pocognoli - Release
Christian Gamboa - Release.
Gareth McAuley - Keep, obv the 1 year deal though.
Craig Dawson - Get him signed on a longer deal.
Midfielders
Darren Fletcher- Keep. (Thanks for the reminder Drewks)
Claudio Yacob - Get signed on a longer deal
James Morrison - Hoping for at least a years extension. Keep.
Craig Gardner - Release
Chris Brunt - Keep but only as squad player now.
James McClean - Release (whoever wants him I will drive the toerag there myself)
Alex Pritchard - Waste of a loan
Callum McManaman - Sell if we can. Otherwise keep.
Stephane Sessegnon - Release.
Sandro - Not done enough on loan to get a deal imo.
Forwards
Victor Anichebe - Release. Biscuit man has scored some important goals for us, but sadly he crumbles too often. Obviously not a dunker.
Rickie Lambchop Lambert - Cracking beard, just a shame about the football. Terra, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out Rickie!
Saido Berahino - Sell.
Rondon - Keep. Has scored quite a few despite looking completely unsuited to our style of play. Will be one to watch next season for sure.
Just goes to show how many new players we'll need to bring in next year, and as much as I want to see young promising pacey players... Villa thought that too with all of those young French lads and that didn't work out very well did it?
If we get the mix of proven Prem players and foreign signings just right, I think we've got the makings of an exciting season next year.
