Those games in red are absolutely crucial now, a point tonight would have given us a boost for sure. Let's hope this training camp in Barcelona does the trick, need points out of all of those games to get ourselves back into contention!

I'd take Moreno from Espanyol as a swap for Rondon.
Couldn't finish a 4 piece jigsaw on his current form

I am still hopeful for Great Escape pt2 but was wondering who would stay/go if the worse was to happen. My thoughts are below
Goalkeepers: 01 Ben Foster (HG) - Contract expires June 2019 - Hope he stays but likely to be interest from other teams 13 Boaz Myhill (HG) - Contract extended to June 2018 - Release Defenders: 02 Allan Nyom – Contract expires June 2020 - stay? 03 Kieran Gibbs – Contract expires June 2020 - Will want out 06 Jonny Evans – Contract expires June 2021 - will want out 16 Ali Gabr – Loan with option to buy in Summer - not sure he will have the opportunity to show he is worth a permenant contract 23 Gareth McAuley - Contract extended to June 2018 - Probably retire or stay as squad player while doing coaching badges 25 Craig Dawson (HG) - Contract extended to June 2020 - Hope he stays but likely to be interest 26 Ahmed Hegazy – Signed – Contract expires June 2022 - Stay, I hope. Midfielders: 05 Claudio Yacob – Contract expires June 2017 (plus 1yr option) - Think he will go home 07 James Morrison (HG) – Extended contract to June 2018 - Fear that he will be released/retire due to injuries 08 Jake Livermore – Contract expires 2021 - will want out 10 Matt Phillips – Contract expires June 2020 - will want out, but may not get another club 11 Chris Brunt (HG) – Contract extended to June 2018 - Think he will stay 14 James McClean – Contract expires 2019 (Plus 1yr option) - Will go 17 Oliver Burke – Contract expires 2023 - Will stay, may do a good job for us in Championship. 18 Gareth Barry – Contract expires 2019 - Retire 20 Grzegorz Krychowiak – Season long loan - back to his parent club 22 Nacer Chadli – Contract expires June 2020 - Will go 28 Sam Field - Contract expires June 2018 - will not renew contract and will move to premiership team Forwards: nn Daniel Sturridge – Loan until end of season - back to parent club 04 Hal Robson-Kanu – Contract extended to June 2020 - will probably stay 09 Salomon Rondon – Contract expires June 2020 - will go 19 Jay Rodriguez – Contract expires 2021 - May stay 29 Yuning Zhang – On loan for 2 seasons to Werder Bremen e.g. back summer 2019 45 Jonathan Leko – Contract expires June 2019 – Stay, but not shown too much progress playing for Bristol City Either I am very pessimistic or there is going to be a lot of work to be done in the summer. Let's hope we stay up!!! If we don't we will still be here wanting the best for the club we love.

I think if you look back over the recent years I think the teams that have bounced straight back are the ones that have managed to keep a strong nucleus of the PL squad together. Newcastle, Burnley and Hull have all done that in the last 3 years, whereas teams that cleared house for whatever reason seemed to struggle - Sunderland, Wolves, Wigan, Hull (this season) and Villa. Of course the turmoil behind the scenes at those clubs was also a big contributing factor to their struggles, you seem far more stable than them to start with.

So we are now certainly down.
Let's accept this with a bit of dignity; we deserve to go down, we are simply not good enough. Let's also look to the future a la Nelson Mandela. We all know that our last HC had a lot to do with where we are now, but that's in the past. We now need to rebuild, and be positive - not to argue, accuse and be divided. Positivity!! |
