I’d expect Onyeka was the 6 signing. Would we go for another?

BBC have an article on Premier League Players out of contract this summer. Cant see that many would be of huge interest?

Which Premier League players are out of contract this summer?

With a World Cup summer fast approaching, BBC Sport looks at which Premier League stars may be looking for new clubs.

I think we'd keep a minimum of two from those?

I think so. Reckon Torp might be the one to move on

Uncertain really torp would definitely raise a lot of interest down below, Eccles is valuable as a home product same with Andrew's into the future, Eccles is only benefit to a past link to the club really but worthy of consideration.

I just think with Eccles he's always had his doubters, even when we were shit and in the doldrums but despite all that he's always stepped up a level with us. I don't think he's going to set the prem alight but I think he has a role and frankly yeah I'm a bit biased, I want to see a Cov kid play for us at our pinnacle. Andrews I think has bags of potential and will have the advantage now of better players around him, better facilities etc.

With Torp I dunno, maybe he will surprise us all....

I think we will keep Eccles and Torp around as both add a bit of versatility to the squad. I think Andrew’s will be released (I think his contract is up in the summer). Although he is still only 19 and we need some good under 21 year olds in or around the 25 man senior squad.

I would give Andrews a new contract, a few more years to see if he kicks on. Got potential, especially around Lampards influence. Could then get him out on loan again. Nowt to lose in my eyes.

Yes when I was posting I checked his age he is younger than I thought, only 19. Which is why I did a bit of a U turn.

He's certainly got age on side and useful to us as well if he wants to stay of course, same with some other youth type players as some youth type players, especially that youngster who was included in the squad if memory serves.

I think Torp lacks consistency and pace. He is a good set piece merchant but that isn’t really enough. It would not surprise me if we keep him but I see him as been mainly on the bench next year.

As much as I love him and enjoy watching him, I think Tats might find it hard to step up because of his lack of pace as a winger. But I am sure he will get the chance to prove me wrong.

I think Mason-Clark will really struggle.

Tats doesn't have pace to burn but he makes up for a bit of that in trickery. He won't get the living shit battered out of him every week in the prem either. We will need another right winger to push him but I think he'll be ok. Share you concerns about EMC but happy to be proved wrong of course. Personally think Haji might be our left winger in the prem and someone else comes in up top.

I’m sure we could convince a team to spend £6m+ on Torp after a 13GA season. Would take it in a heartbeat.

It’s all about opinions. We will see, I hope all the players that are given the chance, step up to the level required. My main problem with Ephron is I just don’t see him as a natural winger. I think he would be better deployed down the middle with some coaching about staying on side.

Anything put on a forum is an opinion. As I have said I am happy to be proved wrong on any player and happy to change my opinion on any player.

Like both our wingers but do think both lack pace and goal threat so would like at least one probably two others bringing in.

It's open, earlier in the season EMC was on fire there should be a place for him.

I just like options on the wing to keep it fresh and think we could get something a little different to complement them. Not saying they need replacing and not to play.

Ive said for a while now , I think EMC is one of a handful that will make the step up and do well .
He's strong , quick , scores goals and is still improving

I think he’s past it now, 34. Some people want Chris wood and hes about 36. All these players are too old

He knows so little that it’s more likely to be wrong just on account of him having said it.
