I'm backing Kelly to shine at Arsenal and change perceptions.

I think good communication between the goalkeeper and back 4 is pretty important and so am not completely sold on Steve, despite him clearly being the superior keeper.

Who are the good English speaking goalies out there who are better than WH and readily obtainable? Since I don't know, I say offer WH another 2 years.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

I think he'll get offered a couple of years - He's not on big money, and this season he's shown himself to be far better than the lemon we bought.

Campbell deserves an award for the length of time he's managed to play in the premiership based on two good loan spells (Royal Antwerp and Hull). Astonishing when you consider that he's 29, and at best back up to the back up strikers back up (and at best average bench warmer).

Pretty much agree, three years I'd say, works well as a mid-fielder and defensive midfielder, and at a push left back.

Dependent on how much we loan him out at, and how much we pay for him. Obviously if we make money on loaning him out against his contracted wages - Might as well keep him.

When fit, probably the best defensive midfielder to pair with Cabaye. Since Flamini came into contention for a midfield place we've been remarkably strong at the back, against stiff competition. And when he goes off, we tend to stutter more.

Definitely, but his legs are going and that's why he game the penalty away against Watford, lack of pace. We need a replacement, but someone we can phase in with Delanney becoming a bench player.

I'd keep Speroni on the payroll indefinitely. Legend and absolute stalwart for the team, who came in 'when the light was bright' and stayed through the darkest days, and then saw us back into a new dawn. I'd want him at the club in some form or another, till the day he decides he wants to retire from football entirely.

Hennessey has been good this season and lacks the errors he was making last season. Mandanda I think is a good keeper, who just lacks a bit of experience. Problem for both keepers this season has been the cohesion of the defence in front of them, rather than their ability.

I think we'll get a proper judge of their ability under Allerdyce's more defensive focus.

Because kelly player for england once when he was at liverpool ( playing based on club not merit) is not a reason to offer someone a new contract. I probably would offer a one year deal unless we bring someone else in. Looking back mariappa was probably a stronger option as could slot in at left back- but kelly has been much improved in the last few games.

I'd like to see more of Fryers. He has something. Has anyone sat Benteke in front of a TV and shown him how penalties are taken in the real world? My son's school coach would be glad to help.

I suspect he will want to keep Ledley if he is happy with the bench.
Hennessey I would let go asap.
Campbell - go
Kelly - go
Flamini - keep
Delaney - keep
Fryers - we will have to see if Sam plays him or not before that one can be answered
Appiah - don't know enough about so can't comment
