    Just think you'd want better than both really.

    Completely different in PL.

    Plymouth battle and kick teams off park, you don’t get that in PL.

    Dans ball carrying and composure may well be absolutely tailor made for the PL.

    This is the key part but the Saudi thing still leaves a proper bitter taste for me. Doesn’t fit what we are trying to do here with our strategy and doesn’t fit the way we are trying to play. Leave him in the past for me.

    I'd rather persist with Neil next season than go anywhere near Henderson. If we want to bring in a holding midfielder there's 100's better than Henderson.

    At some point there will be a Saudi exodus.

    Milinlovic-Savic….

    I jest of course before anyone has a fanny attack.

    If we could bring back Jack Clarke for £12m (£3m profit), would that be worthwhile?

    Yes. Especially after seeing him at Wembley backing the lads.

    He was just starting to show a bit end of season. I’d have him back but he’d have a scrap for first 11.

    I would personally. I am convinced he can be a good premier league player.

    I want to say yes but no.

    We'll always have Paris sort of thing.

    Not for me. Really poor season for him. Mundle has a big step up to make but he has one thing Clarke doesn’t and that’s truly electric pace.

    Hope Clarke does well and gets back up but it’s currently looking like his ceiling is bottom prem at very best and he’s getting to his mid 20s now.

    Club did everything right with him, signed him at the right time, sold him at the right time and he contributed massively for us. Another id leave in the past though.

    would like to say yes, but the answer is no,

    we need to move onto a better ilk of player now,
    we need to move on from past players,

    Really hard to argue this when we overlook sentiment.

    Love Jacky though and he’d thrive again here.

    No. We can do so much better for around the same money shopping abroad.

    I agree with most of what everyone is saying but for the starting CM roles I'd personally only be looking at bringing in 1 and that's the CDM position. Been some excellent suggestions on here for some quality young lads that wouldn't cost a fortune.

    As for the other 2 positions, ELF picks himself and I'd be more than happy to see Neil and Rigg rotate in and out as necessary. I really don't want to see Rigg take a back seat as he obviously has the potential to be our next big star given time and he could easily make the Jobe leap next season. And Neil playing a bit further forward, when on form with his passing range too could be great.

    Just my 2 pence worth. Middle of the park won't take much IMO.

    Bringing Defoe back should have taught us enough about sentimental returns. I’d have Amad though, he can actually offer us something. Henderson - we don’t look for players at the end of their career any more and really can’t see he’d be much use. Clarke - decent but a bit of a one trick pony - prefer Mundle there but some back-up is needed which isn’t moving Le Fee.

    Anyone think we could go after Maguire, Mainoo & Hjolund from Manure for the 3 positions we have a need for

    I'd have jack Clarke back in a heartbeat. Him feeding Mayenda gets my juices flowing
