Those players will need replacing by players of higher quality; and correspondingly higher wages.

On the other hand, if Beneke goes, he would be a saving... unless we can't get a new striker for less money.

Seeing as Lee & Mutch had virtually no game time and are essentially crap, I'd rather see Nya Kirby, Lokilo & Lumeka taking up their places in the squad, which wouldn't cost a bean.

Delaney barely had a minute on the pitch either so I'd hope to see Jach taking his place next season.

The squad most certainly needs strengthening which will cost, but my point is that Wilshere is affordable should Roy want him to sign.

Apparently he’s posted a ‘cryptic’ message on Twitter that his days at Arsenal are coming to an end.

If he moves and Roy is interested I’m almost certain he’d pick us over West Ham.

IF he stays injury free it’d be a huge coup...

he wants a £5million signing on fee plus 130k a week i wouldnt pay him that much with his injury worries thats for sure wetspam can have him if they willing to pay him that much

Does Nya Kirby, Lokilo and Lumeka need a place in the squad? Aren’t they young enough to not need a place.

But they do need a place - in contention for starting or being on the bench for each PL match.

Yes but the number of games is rising each season I think. When we have a really good manager in charge I’m happy to sit back and watch, although the early days of Roy were a bit rigid in the formation, although with those 7 games with zero se probably needed to be.

I trust Roy will make wise and sensible choices.
