Name six ''must keeps'' for the summer

[mumbo-jumbo]

We know ( hope ) the summer will bring lots of changes. its very unclear how much money Clarke will have to spend, or how much buying and selling will take place. If you had to name six key players you'd like to keep at all costs, who would they be?

For me

Feds
Danny Williams
Jordan Obita
Pearce
Chalobah ( please Chelsea - one more season on loan )
McCleary

[Pandoras Box]

Agree to the above + Ake (as per Chalobah)

[Nameless]

Hector
Williams
Mcleary
Federici
Pearce
Jem

No point including the loan players, but if we could get Mackie, Chalobah and Ake on deals that meant they were here for the whole season it would be massive

[Royalcop]

The back 4, Hector, Pearce, Gunter and Obita plus Williams and Karacan (on a pay as you play)

Chalobah, Ake and Mackie back would be great but probably unlikely

Ambivalent about the rest (including Feds tbh - decent Champ level goalies aren't difficult to find given the small numbers of slots that teams have to fill).

[TBM]

Pog
Gunts
Hects
Wills
Macks
McCs

[Handsome Man]

Hector
Mackie (if possible)
Obita
HRK
Federici
Pearce

[winchester_royal]

Hector
Obita
Williams
Chalobah
Dom Samuel
McCleary

I like Mackie, but Pog will be staying and if we're going to be spending >1m on a player I'd rather it was on someone younger and quicker. If we can get him on loan again for next season though then I'm all for it.

[Handsome Man]

Hector
Mackie (if possible)
Obita
HRK
Federici
Pearce

[SCIAG]

Obita
McCleary
Tanner
Kuhl
Tshibola
Sheppard

[harry]

Hector
Mackie (if possible)
Obita
HRK
Federici
Pearce

Agree with 5 of those .... but HRK! Seriously?

[paultheroyal]

Federici
Pearce
Hector
Mccleary
Karacan
Williams

[Froomes]

To be honest I struggled to come up with 6 'must' keeps...

Feds
Mackie
Williams
Hector

The first thing the board should do is give Feds a new contract and sign Mackie! After that unless it's silly money we should rebuff any offers for the other two, I'd also quite like Chalobah and Ake back. But other than that I'd be happy to sell any of the others if the money was decent...

[Schmeichel the dog]

Whilst I know it's (very) unlikely, in an ideal world I'd want to keep:
Feds
Hector
Chalobah
Williams
Mackie
McCleary
Despite disappointing in far too many games this year, we're not far off very decent championship team (certainly should be much higher than we are) and I would be happy to begin next season with most of Saturdays starting xi. Only a few tweaks needed.

[MmmMonsterMunch]

I'm struggling with 6 must keeps TBH - the top 3 are my must keeps. If I had to name 6 I'd like to keep however it would be:

Hector
Mackie
Pearce
McCleary
Chalobah
Ake

If Williams didn't have such a bad injury record he'd replace one of the bottom 3 on that list. I don't think we can justify Williams' salary TBH & yes he is good on his day but too injury prone for me. I'd like to see him moved on if possible.

[TheBaldOne]

Feds
Hector
Obita
Williams
Chalobah
Mackie

[melonhead]

Hector
Williams
Pearce
Obita
Karacan
Mcleary.

Plus the three loanees, and any decent kids.

Plus gunter,Kelly, akpan,etc cos just picking six is A bit silly unless we want another transitional season again next year

[Sidindaclub]

Back 4 is obvious. Need to keep them together playing well
Plus ...... Feds and mcleary


Loan wise buy Mackie if we can and Ake. Don't rate chalobah one bit he's too much like akpan....(doesn't do a lot)

I am Aware that's 6 + 2 loanees

[St. Brynjar]

1. Williams
2. Hector
3. Mackie
4. Gunter
5. Pearce
6. McCleary

[Handsome Man]

Hector
Mackie (if possible)
Obita
HRK
Federici
Pearce

Agree with 5 of those .... but HRK! Seriously?

We've got to try to keep the best players.

Mackie
Hector
Chalobah
Pearce
Federici
Williams
