So it's Enner Valencia, Mauro Zarate, Modibo Maiga, Ricardo Vaz Te and of course Carlton Cole to choose from. I don't see many goals coming from any of them.

At least the first three are far more fun to watch than Carroll.

The old "he played in easier games" line, blended nicely with the, "Boruc made him look good" line. Top stuff.

Would be far more honest if you just said that you prefer cork as a player and that you never quite understood the contribution Vic made to the team.

In 'my opinion', Cork contributed more as a whole than Wanyama has, and to let him go on a free at the end of his contract is ridiculous. I've just got tired of the 'yeah but we conceded less with wanyama' argument, when they have different roles in the team. I'd love to see a team with them both in. My 'original' point never who was best, just the value of Cork to our team.
 
I think Cork had a slightly better season, but Wanyama's the better player. Wanyama had injuries and had to gel in a new team. Wanyama had some dodgy moments in the first few months, but was brilliant in the last 4 games or so.

Maiga's been released so that's 0 from him to start.
 
I don't see the point in debating our midfield as surely a centre back, a left back, a striker and a winger are priorities. If we can then get a midfielder great but we have far greater deficiencies to fill first.

Been linked to making a bid for Clasie so there is a point.

I'm tired of hearing "Hitler was a c*** because of the 2nd world war and that" argument

Cork & Wanyama competed for the same role in the team which is why this debate started a year ago. The fact you think their roles are different illustrates what Vic adds to the team

OK I should have been more precise. I don't think that getting rid of Cork or replacing him is a priority, I would much rather strengthen and add depth in our weaker areas coupled with the fact that I think we need to keep a core of players and I would rather we let noone else, except Lovren, leave.

Targett/Kongolo (Can't see Rojo coming)

Wanyama/ Cork

Morgan/Reed.
Clasie/Prowse/Davis

8 new players. Guan says 6/7 so not far off that I reckon.
