Firstly Gomes,,,,,,,,,,, gone from being a laughing stock & a calamity Keeper to one of the best in the Premiership just like i always thought he would. He's one of the best shot stoppers i've ever seen at WHL. He also has a big enough presence to command his penalty area which previous keepers haven't for us. His handling of the crossed ball or corner has improved beyond belief making him my first MUST KEEP!
Secondly Dawson,,,,,,,,,,,,,, now this is a player i love but i never thought i'd hold him in such high esteem when it comes to our back line, but last season he was nearly super human holding our defence together. Having his partner chopped & changed every week. But he's a real rock to build our defence on. His heading has improved 100% & he goes in with every thing he has & a smile on his face. Ok he's not blessed with blistering pace but his reading of the game & positional sence which has matured with experience more than make up for that.
Third Modric,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, very unlikely he'll be going any where after his new deal. Which i have to say i'm delighted with. OK i'd like to see more goals coming from him. But his ball skills & passing ability are second to none. How he can receive the ball being closed down on more than one front normally & then with one sublime touch & a sharp turn he's left the would be markers for dead & has found himself in acre's of space. Then he makes the most of the space he has with a defence splitting pass or a shot at goal. We missed the maestro when he was out injured & we look a more potent outfit with him in the team.
Finally Bale,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, got in the side more by luck than judgement from Harry with the BAE injury & then with the weight off his shoulders of not being in a winning side evaporating with playing the whole 90 minutes in the win against Fulham we saw the metamorphosis of a Player from a no confidence shadow of himself to a player that's perpetual motion with a cultured left foot & has started to show all the potential we all knew he had but had almost forgotten about because of his dire run of injuries & form. It was his form & pace down the left that helped us still attack with pace & lesson the impact of Lennon's injury & enable us to push forward & be successful in our pursuit of a Champions League place.
So while we have many players that i want to keep & we will who would want to leave us this season. But the four players i've mentions are indispensable in my eyes.
