I guess like many of you on here this question has come to mind more than once this season so what is the answer? I like sackho but his strops and falling out with management leads me to believe he will be sold this summer so that leads us onto the enigma that is carroll when fit he does a tremendous job for us but that is to little to often so if we were offered £7/8/9 million for him I personally would take that so that leaves calleri and well he just not seem up to it so he should be released asap young fletcher not given a chance and with our options limited I would of liked to of seen more of him but apparently bilic seemed to of preferred Snodgrass as a striker at stoke yesterday so that's not going to be good for the boys psyche I am sure so I guess slav is going to have to decide keep him and add to development squad or release him as well which brings us round to Valencia due back from everton at the end of the season unless they decide to take up the option of £13million for him and I am not so sure they will and he has mentioned he does not want to come back and play for us so just what are we going to do? the frontline and g/k are the two areas in need of major investment this summer but when you hear that we want Hart then read we are looking at fleetwoods keeper and another dodgy guy from turkey you just roll the eyes into the back of your head and think here we go again. on a personal note I see many here would love to have defoe back and now sunderland have gone down he will be available for free well not for me thank you its nothing to do as to his behaviour when he was a young kid I just think at 34 its a lot to ask for him to lead our line give me a brash young player from the championship who has something to prove there are some rough diamonds down there you just need to be brave and take a punt afterall its what we did with Antonio.

I would take Defoe on a free. Not sure what his wages are but great to have in the squad and he doesn't get injured very often. I would like to see that loanee from Chelsea at Bristol City come to us. Tammy is quick and tall and a proven scorer in the championship. Admittedly not proven in the Premier league but he has great potential. I don't want Sturridge with his injury record. I like King from Bournemouth but why would he come to us? Difficult to say whom as the paymasters will try and get a bargain basement striker no doubt.

it says it all plain and clear. survival this season won't be due to our quality, but the lack of quality elsewhere. I wonder if Sullivan thinks relegation would give the opportunity to reduce the payroll and come back up with a leaner, younger side. Dangerous thought if that's the case.

Aint likely Ash ,said it at the move if we go south thats it for this club ,no coming back ,the psychological effect of playing in a half empty 60 k arena would be enough to ensure that getting out of that division would be next to impossible
