Anybody else really hoping James Ward-Prowse goes on loan for some part of next season? I personally think that he is going to be an incredible player, one of our best, but for someone with his potential he isn't getting enough game time and I don't realistically see him challenging the likes of Cork, Schneiderlin or Davis at this time.

Also, I know people are already discussing potential signings and we're all hopeful for some positive signings, but as far as I'm concerned the success of the coming summers transfer window should be measured by if we can keep hold of our young players; Shaw, Clyne, Ward-Prowse and many others.

If we get in europa league through fair play thing then definitely not, If we don't perhaps.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope we do get into Europe because then we can play the likes of Prowse and give other players a chance and rotate the squad e. g. prem team is the priority so would be next season IMO:
Boruc,
Clyne, Fonte, Forren, Shaw
Cork Shneiderlin
Lallana Ramirez Rodrigues
Lambert
But in Europe could be:
Gazziniga/Davies
Stephens Yoshida Hoiveld Taggert
Prowse Hammond Davies
Mayuka Puncheon
Lee

not including any new signings

Agree0 Disagree0

Yoshida 10x better the fonte proved it this season

Agree0 Disagree0

How can you say Yoshida doesn't deserve to be in our main squad? He has been excellent this season and is a much better all round player than Fonte or Hooiveld. We haven't even seen Forren in action at all so what are you basing your selection of him on?

Agree0 Disagree0

One paper today says that MP has said "15 players could move on in the summer". so let's start a debate and see if we can pick the 15 that might leave or be released

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hardly a debate. It's obvious who'll be leaving. Chaplow, Butterfield, Richardson, De Ridder, Seaborne, Sharp, Guly, and Lee. Have no idea where the number 15 came from as we would have nobody left in the squad! {Ed001's Note - would that include youth players being released?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure that such a "debate" shows any respect for players who have either given good past service to our club or are seen as not being able to play at the level MP expects.
I think 15 may be on the high side but there will be a significant number and I will wish them all the best for the future and thank them for helping the club back to where it belongs.

Saint Martin

Agree0 Disagree0

Butterfield
De Ridder
Chaplow
Lee
Seaborne
Martin
Do Prado
(Quite possibly a few of the less impressive youth players out like Gape or possibly Cropper)
Reeves could go I suppose.
Sharp (Very likely)
Dickson
Puncheon (worryingly as he's barely seen action since Pochettino's arrival)
Suppose either Hooiveld or Fonte could leave.
Has Forecast gone on a permanent yet or is that going to happen in the summer too?

Agree0 Disagree0

Gazzaniga-shocking get rid
Butter field - love the guy but services no more required
Hammond- never been a big fan we can do so much better
Chaplow- shame just not good enuff realy do like him as well
Guly- ditto
De ridder- never going to get the game time he needs to improve looked very promising when he first arrived not done a lot since
Sharp- loved him aswell apart from the 2 open goals he missed at west ham and pen he helped fire us up should of been given a chance in my view wish him all the best
Lee- never realy settled
Seaborne - just hoofs the ball never liked him
Ins
I'd like a right back CDM cover just incase spidey or cork. Get injuried and a attacking mid Sinclair or verdu would be great additions

Agree0 Disagree0

Gazza is a young keeper. He's for the future. Puncheon will not be leaving. He just signed a 3 year contract! Any of the others mentioned would be ok to leave I think. Mayuka will stay. He's only 22 and I think he will improve.

Agree0 Disagree0

If gazzaniga is the future it's very bleak indead

Agree0 Disagree0

Forecast, Butterfield, Seabourne Martin, Hammond, Sharpe, Barnard Forte, Reeves, Hoskins, Chaplow, De Ridder, Lee None of these are in our 18 man squad and most are out on loan and won't be missed at this level

Agree0 Disagree0

Reeves was sent to Southend to improve and I think he's done quite well. Young and one for the future.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hoskins is very young and showing potential, he'll be out on loan again I think. Sinclair is the most likely to come through to striker for us from the youth though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Gazza (Loan) Richardson Butterfield Seabourne Martin Dickson Reeves Hammond Chaplow De Ridder Lee Forte Barnard Sharp

Guly Fox Hoover as well

6 in RB LB CB AM WG and a fox in the box striker COYR

Agree0 Disagree0

If all these players are so called leaving, then how many will we sign? we would need to replace at least half of what we have lost. we need back up just incase we get injurys or suspensions. can't leave ourselfs short. 15s a lot of players to leave a squad

Agree0 Disagree0

Shaw to chelsea being talked about a lot, no smoke without fire, its coming

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't be so ridiculous. You read far too many newspapers. Shaw agreed to sign a 5 year deal in July when he turns 18. it's happening.

Agree0 Disagree0

No smoke without fire? What about the Scot Dann rumour last summer? What about the rumour that we would be selling Hooiveld?

Agree0 Disagree0

Shaw to Chelsea is ONLY being spoken about by their supporters and a few rubbish reporters.

Funny how you will believe those BUT not Shaw or Saints who have already (January) clarified what the position is reference next season.

If you really are supporters, do try to keep up!
