We have a number out of contract in the summer who we will need to offer a deal to soon or even move on in January if we want to get anything for the before they go on a free.

I would certainly say Jimmy Mac is worth a new deal and Ward, Cabaye (obviously Jules as the standard 1 year back up!)

A few from other clubs in the same boat too?
Anything anyone fancies on the cheap this month?

Winch Eagle

In terms of new keeper, Michel Form is on that list.

In terms of a striker, there is Diafra Sakho.

A couple worth considering, if we could get them cheaper.

Would be happy with this. We could do better but would take that deal!

Thought he was going at the end of last season with the way he reacted during the last game lap of appreciation. Would like him to stay, but I think it's likely this summer.

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky."

I had considered a loan for Wilshere in January a good option to a future move. He'd been nicely written off which made him affordable. Hodgson has backed him in the past and it would be good if we have a former England manager who actually uses his contacts for the benefit (rather than signing Stuart f***ing Green). But seems Wilshere is back in the first team picture with t'Arse.
