The problem with Thorne is... he suffered numerous set backs with injuries and the question is... How long can his body last, before it lets him down again? I take every precaution on Thorne to see where his fitness levels are at and how his body is feeling before bringing him back into the equation, because he is such an important creative player for us in midfield and we have missed him dearly.

Martin has been linked with Wolves and Fulham, still have the option in his loan contract that he can be bought for £9m, if Fulham wish to do so. Martin started the beginning of the season unfit and overweight and was nowhere near his form from the previous season and if he does fit into our plans for next season, he needs to keep in shape in the offseason so that he is bearing to go and we have him back to his best form.

If we can bring in some quality loan players in from time to time on the same level as Tammy Abraham and Tomas Kalas, then that would be fantastic.
