Pukki is the one I feel we might have half a chance of keeping but

I'm not really sure what i'm basing that on - its more a gut feeling. I suppose that unlike some there is no danger of him playing for us harming his international chances as he's their star player and I feel that more than perhaps some others he's been about a bit and understands the value of finding a club that suits him where he is settled. I also don't see him as the sort to down tools or kick off if we say we want him to stay.

Balanced against all that though he's more towards the end of his career and could feel that he can;t afford to waste another season in the champ or alternatively the club may feel they have no option but to cash in if they get a decent offer for a player whose value may dip as he gets older.

I don't think we have a hope in hell of keeping Emi nor Cantwell if an offer comes in for him. I just think they are both too ambitious. Aarons maybe less so but based on the speculation he seems the most likely to tempt a stupid money bid plus we have Byram to replace him so I think the club would sell.

Godfrey the other one thats hard to call but I am more relaxed about him as I think that Klose, Hanley and Zimm are good CB options for the champ and with the money we will have we could replace Godfrey if a good offer came in and we decided to sell.

It will be annoying seeing any of them play for other prem clubs though, especially if any end up at promoted teams or the likes of Palace or Shef U!
