Talking of Wiki, it records Sam as five foot seven. My dad was five foot seven. That can't be right

Which of the current squad do you think might surprise us next season?

strong and stable with me, or...
We should compile a list of players who were a bit average in the Championship but went onto shine in the Premier League. Those players you thought couldn't make it, but proved everyone wrong. I suppose Vardy is the most obvious example. Championship 12/13 4 goals 26apps, 13/14 16 goals 37 apps. Who could honestly see him getting the goals he's got and international caps. When we paid £3m for CMS, he was in the Conference North!

Skalak and Murphy will be polishing everyone's boots.
March and Baldock will kick ass.

You mean Vardy was in the Conference North - Shame we didn't take a punt on him rather than CMS. Also a shame we didn't take a punt on Virgil Van Djyk (spelling) who we could have had for peanuts but didn't ! - I think we offered something like £1.5m and Groenigen would have sold/did sell for not much more than that !
Watching now to see what happens with Omar Bogle (Grimsby to Wigan)

I cannot understand all this hype about Skalak being the best passer of the ball in the club. I think that he will struggle to make the starting XI and in fact wouldnt be surprised if he was put on the transfer list.

From a Brighton perspective I'd say Ashley Barnes. He's been absolutely panned by people on here but has now played for 2 seasons in the Premier League (obviously I'm excluding the season he was injured).
Although he hasn't been a prolific goal scorer, he's integral to how Burnley play and wins tons of free kicks (he's something like the 3rd most fouled player in the top division).
If you look at him as an example or even Burnley for that matter I'd say there's a good chance that plenty from our current squad will surprise us next season.
If I were to pick one player it would be Murray.

Shortarse. (I'm five foot seven and a half).
Skalak
Bong
Hemed
Norwood
March
In their respective positions, each will terrorise their PL opponents. As a result, a top half finish beckons, regardless of whether we sign anyone decent this summer.

How many of those do you think will start 30 + games next season? I do not think many if any will.
Any that are sober.
I'm having 2 sides of the same conversation, with myself, across 2 threads (£50k)
Not only would it be stupid to offload contracted players when the club already has to pay comparatively massive wages to the players it needs to buy.
What's the current value of Hemed, Skalak & Norwood verses the future value any 1 those players should they be able to produce anything next season?
Sorry I'm going to back away from each will terrorise their PL opponents but with the mean standard relatively low when compared to the sums of money on offer, all the current players ought to be allowed to try and prove themselves.
The myth about Norwood's passing is the one I do not get. He gives the ball away CONSTANTLY. His passing accuracy is actually shocking.

Since when did your dad have the monopoly on being 5 foot 7?
