Over the last few years they have made a point of rewarding players who raise their standards.
Indeed, but all the club can do (and they seem to be) is to be fair and decent with the players, and hope that for the most part that is reciprocated.

How much are Pachuca going to pay?

If we are watching Anderlecht we ought to have seen Mbadj their Centre Half a friend of Kouyate's.
1st choice: Fonte, Reid, Collins.
Ogbonna (though prob 1st team?), Oxford, Burke as backups. Also Kouyate and Nordveidt can fill in.
Fonte - Reid - Ogbonna
RWB - Obiang - Kouyate - Cresswell
Antonio - Lanzini
ST
Adrian/Randolph, Collins, Masuaku, Noble, WG, Ayew, ST
That's kind of what I'd be looking at and the positions we could do with improving currently.
I get Byram is a prospect, but I'm going on the now, and I don't think he's quite good enough just yet.
I also think there are better options than Antonio and the CM pairing of Obiang and Kouyate could be upgraded with one player. But I don't want too many changes.
Also what players do people think will leave as it will need a trim to get more players in ?
Also are we not close to the "minimum number of British quota"

It's 'home grown' rather than British. Any nationality who has had 3 years at an English or Welsh club before 21, so, for us, Norty Boy counts as HG.
However, you are right, as we had to include Sam Westley in the 25 to make up the required 8 this season.
Spelt his name wrong it's Mbodj, we did look at him before we got Obiang, but he can play in the middle at the back or CDM/CM, only problem we would have if he was an upgrade is the ANC taking another player off us for several weeks. ;ok
Arbeloa
Randolph/Adrian (1 of those)
Feghouli
Valencia
Sakho
Possibly snodgrass as he's the type of player who teams coming from the championship will look as
Think we will keep hold of Calleri (look at how much game time hes getting), Nordtveit who has got something to offer and Carroll, mostly due to lack of suitors
Don't think it will be a huge cull, think a few of te younger players will go on loan,possibly only Burke (and maybe oxford) will be drafted into the first team so loads for Fletcher, Martinez, Browne, Cullen (I'd promote him to the first team) and Samuelsen
I think there will be players that we will be alright letting go of for good enough offers Cresswell, Ogbonma, Collins, Byram, Carroll, Nordtveit etc.
There will also be interest in Reid, Antonio, Kouyate, Lanzini and Obiang but hope we convince them all to stay
Personally I think he'll go bournmouth....think the Daves will see him as a risk as he is 34 and he will be wanting £80k a Week
Not sure why we would buy one this summer.
We'll again hope that Andy will stay fit and be having this chat again next season. The strikers out there will either be too old or too pricey.
We'll still be able to break even on Snodderz as he's only been on the decline 6 months.
Nordtveit I'd expect to leave too but don't think it's as likely.
And then there's a good chance Sakho and Valencia could leave if there is interest.
So maybe 5-7 departures.
In addition, we signed Fletcher and Martinez.
We signed Jellybaby the year before. And Maiga. Or not want to sign for us even when a club record fee has been agreed...

I don't think we've seen enough to say he isn't a goal scorer.
Even great strikers go through barren patches and we haven't had Jonny C long enough on the pitch to know, imo.
For me, the fact that he has missed some decent chances suggests that he is a goal scorer, since he has the instincts to get into the right positions.
Are we going to say to Fletcher that he gets 3 starts to show he can score or he is on his bike?
Fletcher was bought in as a long term prospect not a loan so has time. Calleri was a loan where a decision needs to made to invest in him or not.
