Well as long as it's an interesting and exciting list of replacements that are coming in I'll be over the moon. No room for sentiments.
Improvements are needed to keep AFC kicking on.
I would take Stewart. He fits into the "theres definitely a player in there" category.
This summer will be huge but its not as bad as it seems (still not ideal) as we wont notice Tansey, Chidi, Ball or Maynard so its five definite players needed. McLean is the one he has to get right. I would love to think this is where a couple of youth boys get their break. Interesting summer
More concerned with who we have lined up to replace them.
I also wouldn't mind it if we brought in Stewart on a permanent deal but I'll reserve judgement until we have a better idea who our targets are. I suspect that if we don't sign Stewart someone else in the SP will.
Mclean is the only one on that list that will definitely be missed and I agree we need to get his replacement spot on, been so influential for us this season particularly the 2nd half and especially after the split. Ball and Stewart would be worth 1 year deals if it was viable. Maynard worth holding onto because apparently he's a good lad to have about the place and he makes a really good brew .
