Its a no brainer, of all of the players out of contract he is the most important to keep, his screening in front of the CBs is superb, and his versatility.

Vital.

Key member of the group. Very important player. Seems almost imperative for him to stay here.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Clyne worth another year

Admittedly he has a top on, but in the photos from yesterday's training he looks like he is carrying a few pounds and appears too bulky for a CM position. Happy for Jairo to prove me wrong

CK is useful as a destroyer but has little creative ability so I won't be upset of he moves on. And if Luka, another of his ilk goes as well then so be it.

I have cracked on about this for years but I repeat:
We desperately need a creative midfielder and while Doucoure looks like a great addition to the squad he is not, but should make an excellent replacement for Kouyate.
