That really would be a surprise.

Skalak I think. I also think Hemed may surprise a few.

Quite possibly Manchester City on August 12th!
Although I do, of course, hope not!
My surprise tip would be Jamie Murphy and I would thought that Beram Kayal was quck enough not to be outclassed.

Hopefully the whole team, as they've f**king earnt the right to be their.
If you're pushing me, then Solly March, it'll be his playground.

Hope you are wrong with Stephens. I think KLL will be gone before we start

Not awoke
Right re March it won't be a surprise
Wrong re Stephens
Judging by the recent thread on Tomer moving to Reading I think he will surprise a few
More in hope than expectation but if Skalak can get back to his first season form, he could spring the biggest surprise (assuming he's not sidelined by better signings and gets the chance). We're not going to get many chances, so his deliveries could win tight games. Put a peach on Duffy's head at the weekend (which he wasted, characteristically. For a monster in the air at the back, surprisingly poor up front). I also think that if Baldock stays fit he has characteristics that are suited to the PL - great runs & quick.

Obviously Kayal is a Premier League player, that's not putting your neck on the line.
Murphy isn't even close. Skalak is more likely to make an impact because of his set pieces. Dunk and Knockaert are obviously Premier League standard, Murray and Duffy are perfectly capable too, Bruno has a year in him.
Hopefully Suttner and Gross will adapt, Ryan should be ok. We have a good spine to the team, providing we're luckier with injuries than we have been in the past couple of seasons.

Potentially surprising in a good way: Kayal, Bruno, Baldock, and maybe at a stretch Skalak for his deliveries (as has been mentioned)
Possibly surprisingly in a not-so-good way: Murray, Knockaert (!)
I would be genuinely astonished if Hemed (much as I love him) or Murphy perform well

Not seen such Bravery!
Skalak and Bong will do better than the NSC knife wielders think.
I think it's clear that the 4 on the way out are the correct 4 - Norwood and Ince clearly so, Towell to get a proper Championship season before assessment, and KLL because he just needs a fresh start somewhere.
The other 21 all have a chance at making it, at the very least until January reassessment.

I'm surprised by the calls for Kayal. The guy is naturally our best CM player and has always looked like someone that can step up in the right system.
For me, it's Duffy.

Goldson.
Judge David Stockwell--oh, already gone?

Stop bloody moaning!
I'm going for Hemed. Think he'll be the surprise package this coming season.
I will be surprised if KLL even makes the bench in a PL match this season after seeing him play in the Crawley friendly.
