    total bollix......total negative crap.......this could be applied to even Man United.......

    our squad is decent right now.......yes we will be losing Felli in the summer, but for about £25m......enough to bring in 3 or 4 quality players.......if Baines goes, we'll get about £20m for him.....again enough to replace him and bring in another 2 players.....

    Barkley, Stones, kennedy, Duffy & Garbutt all seem to have great potential, and McAleny seems to be finding some form again after injury, and then also there's George Green ........so while Moyes is very hesitant to put youngers in his first team, he has built up the youth team nicely......

    So if Moyes leaves in the summer......whoever takes over, is gonna be in a much better position than Moyes was when he started...

    McAleny and Vellios need first team game time. Theyre playing well in the under 21's and I know they are young but they are both older than Lukaku who is already ripping it up in the premier league.

    Lukaku has alot to learn yet.....particularily how to stay on-side......

    would like to vellios get more of a chance.....always seems to work hard and has a knack of popping up in the right places....
    McAleny looks a tricky & skillful player....wish he was bit bigger though, not sure he'll be big enough to play upfront for us (certainly as a sole striker)....can see Moyes trying to make a winger out of him......

    there's definately a few players that we should have worries about.  ossie and hibbert are both getting old now so they'll need replacing soon.  centre half is a major worry as distin is old (although i must say he has the potential to do a ryan giggs), heitinga is not good enough and jags has had lots of inuries.  potentially you could even say that all 3 of those will need replacing soon. 

    neville will be gone and he was club captain.  pienar hasn't got much time left as he looks finished already.  naismith definately needs to go.  i'm not too woriied about losing felliani or baines because we would get big fees for both of them.  but all of the other players - hibbo, ossie, heitinga, neville etc  - will move for either small fees or no money at all

    Totally correct, I do this at the end of every Season. Moyes and all other Managers do it at the end of every Season, its why Moyes this time has decided to see if the board will take notice or he's off, and in my mind they wont so he's off. Someone else will inherit it, it will be something for them to start doing the juggling act, but we can be hopeful as its not a bad starting point and maybe they can do better than Moyes, who know's but im happy for someone to have a fresher look at it...

    Hibbert has already being replaced with coleman & Stones......
    Hopefully next season, Barkley can start to nudge Osman out the way......
    Neville?......

    Sell Fellaini for 25m in the summer, sign three good youngish £8m players......& we'll have a better squad already......add Barkley & Stones to the mix and just like that, we have a fresh young squad again.....

    relax, put your feet up, every things gonna be fine....

    who knows in 3 years time, we dont even know who will be manager, theres a lot of potential with kennedy, lundstom, george green, duffy, stones, garbutt. barkley, vellios, to name a few, but seens we havent really produced any youngsters to go on to be regulars in the prem under moyes then your guess is as good as mine. who knows what signings will happen 3 years is a long time in football .

    can't be certain about barkley and stones though.  barkley actually looks like he will flop from what ive seen so far.  stones is a young player with absolutely no guarantees of being succesfull
