Whatever we all think, its Jim who will decide!

But for what its worth, I think he should go...might as well start completely afresh whilst we're at it.

Well of corse it will be Jim who will decide we're just saying our opinions as its something to talk about... :roll: :D

And i don't know about starting a total fresh, we still have a handfull of experienced players they'll never be a TOTAL clearout

I think he shud go or take more of a coaching role at the club cause i think we really need a box to box midfielder and IMO curry has the passing ability to replace him.

I agree that Currie has the passing ability to replace Magilton, he also has vision and awareness to become a natural replacement for him.

But........ you state we need a ‘box to box’ midfield player, and no-one in there wildest possible dreams can describe Currie as that!

Another problem you’d have is who do find to play wide left of midfield? Please don’t say Westlake, because that been tried (and failed) before, so that’s why we bought Darren in.

Totally agree.

It would be good for Jim, allowing him to try out his coaching skills in a familiar environment, and good for the club as he can pass his experience and wisdom onto the youngsters.

As most of the team he had gelled with have already gone i honestly don't think we would notice whether he was there or not, but it would be handy if he stayed until we got a sufficient replacement

This is a massive issue, to which there is probably no right answer, as Magic is probably past his sell by date, but how on earth will we replace him??

Its not only Jim's play making that needs replacing, but also his winning mentality and positive influence on the team. All we need is a younger Jim with Lampard's engine :lol:

That Peters lad. :wink:

Al we need imo is a left back, right back, a right winger and Parkin and we are completely sorted. Seems like a lot but 4 players a season is nothing compared to what we've just sold.

Yeah Bowditch is a possibility for the wing, but he might have the tendency to come inside too often? I think there will be at least 5 players come in as wages wont be a problem, just the fees, I reckon two players will come in for a fee and a couple of frees and maybe a loan
