19 goals, 14 assits, England under 21, one of the most rated young forwards in the country.

There can only be one choice.

Yeah - the guy who made all the effort, Shefki.

Ok, granted Kuqi matched his goals, but he hardly got any assisits and he isnt a fantastic under 21 england international who has time on his side. I can only see Bent getting better and better.

Davis i went for- solid goalie, saved us in so many matchs,

but close behind was Bent- also saved us in so many matches, either by getting a winner, or an equaliser. Plus all those assists.... :(

I've gone for Davis, I reckon he earned us the most points out of all of them and he was the only truly Premiership class player we had IMHO.

We'll miss Bent, Kuqi and Millers goals but I think there are plenty of player who can score in this division, it's keeping them out that's the difficult thing!

I disagree.

Bent was involved in 33 goals last season. Without him we would of been screwed. Withotu davis we would of lost a few points but not the amount that 33 would of cost us.

Davis- Top Class keeper, one of the best we'll ever have. He'll be missed dearly!

Would say Bent was next but towards the latter part of last season i'd say it was more Kuqi that we'd miss. Constant running at both ends of the pitch, goals and endless energy!

I personally think we'll miss Kuqi most, but the money grabbing c*nt has gone off after we helped him establish himself again as one of the top strikers in the division.

There's no loyalty in Football anymore... :evil:

Pint and Pie on me, says Bent has a rotten season on the bench at Charlton, and never makes the senior England squad.

Maybe but being a young english premiership striker he will definately get at least one friendly cap! :lol:

Don't worry I won't hold back! I'm fed up of our team being treated like a doormat. Now may i stress this is NOT Sheepshanks' fault, I merely blame the footballers themselves who think a move to the Premiership is their chance of making a quick buck, rather than what's best for themselves career-wise.

It's just all too depressing but i AM confident that Royle has the calibre of player in mind to strengthen the squad and at least give us a shot at challenging for the Playoffs.
