    Are we so far away from being back into Europe through the league next season??
    Just read we have the 4th best defensive record this season which surprised me!!

    Yea but we also have one of the worst scoring record, hence our mid table status

    alot will depend on Jelavic, rodwell & barkley

    If rodwell finally comes good, barkley breaks into the team and lives up to his promise, and Jelavic bangs in 15+...then we'll be ok....

    we still need a few new faces.......i said last summer, and before january that we need to start rebuilding....get out the stale players and bring in some new faces to the squad......the new signings in january made a big difference to the team, now we've gotta kick on again.

    Whether Moyes is the man in charge next season is the big question.....

    but right now, we're along way off the top 4.......because we still have too many players who have been at the club too long and don't have a winning mentality, or the legs to maintain a high enough level of football for a full season

    Howard is good for four or five years yet
    Baines is good enough to be called better than Cashley, should start ahead of him at the Euros, and one to keep hold of.
    Jags, see above, but substitute Cashley for Terry
    Distin has surprised me, never thought he'd be good enough. At the tale end of his career though and will probably only last 2 more seasons.
    Neville, Captain Courageous, but see Distins comments
    Duffy, good enough for a prolonged run
    Heitinga, just do whatever it takes to hold onto him
    Hibbert needs to score, just once, and he'll be a legend, 5 more seasons for him at most
    Cahill, a legend already, but 4 more seasons at the most
    Gueye, not good enough yet
    Barkley needs a good run in the first team
    Rodwell needs to stay injury free for two seasons before we find out how good he is
    Osman only has 4 seasons left
    Coleman is good enough and needs to stay with us
    Fellaini must stay at all costs
    Velios, not sure about yet
    Jelavic, too soon to tell

    It's not looking good after 4-6 years. Our squad is ageing...
