Ekstrand maybe, but I suspect Watford will keep him on. Not a great deal else to get excited over!
 
Big decision: Do we look to bounce back straight away as the yo-yo continues to go up and down or do we look to the long-term and try to build something?
 
Hurts me to say it but there seems to be a sense of inevitability surrounding NCFC's fate whereas both Newcastle and Sunderland seem to have that thread of belief that if they scrap hard enough, it's just possible?
That pains me the most :(

You could see it coming!
 
I think that if you do in fact get relegated then i can see someone snapping up Redmond i really can....
 
Its amazing that looking at the list of "free players" that we turn our noses up a bit - I must admit that I do this too. Leicester have shown what can be achieved shopping on scraps, most of us wouldn't have wanted Huth or Morgan this year!

We have been burnt buy spending reasonably large sums every time we have done it as far as I can remember, maybe its time to work a little differently.

Totally contradicting myself, however, I think we all knew we needed a CB/ST upgrade. Looking at the difference that Klose has made I cant believe we haven't tried to bring in someone sooner even if it was a top end championship CB with the potential to develop. My priorities would be a new CB if we keep Klose and 2 if we Can't. I would keep Bennett as he has potential but does seem to pick up a few injuries. as for strikers, I am not sure what the answer is. I think it would be foolish to let CJ go if we are relegated as a replacement would be expensive and maybe hes got another good Championship season in him.

On the assumption that we are back in the Champ then we will lose our loan strikers and we will clearly need replacements as we will only have Jerome as a proven out and out striker at that level. Can't see Lafferty or the Wolf ever wearing yellow and green again so we will require a goal scorer to get us 20 plus if we are to challenge for immediate promotion.

I'd love to see us get another Klose quality CB but the reality is we won't be able to attract players of that calibre unless we are in the Prem or racing away with the league come the January window.

I think that if we can keep the squad intact and hold on to Brady and Klose and augment with at least one finisher then we will have enough to post a serious challenge for promotion next season.

For a decent sum, say ~£10m, I think most would happily wave him farewell. Yes he's talented, but he doesn't show it consistently enough and is not a core member of our squad. If selling him means we can keep hold of more important players, like Klose, Howson, etc, then I'm all for it.

I think next year could be an important year for Wolfswinkel, lets face it his career has gone sailing down the toilet. Maybe it's time he dropped down a league and stayed with us in the championship, hopefully rediscover some of his goal scoring and confidence.

The only 2 on that list I would consider would probably be Carrick and Carroll, neither of which would come to us. Maybe Delaney to beef up the defence but with the Ipswich connection I doubt that would be popular
