I know I'm in the minority but I like Benni and am glad he's staying. Why?

So bojan will go. Afobe will stay. Badou will be welcomed back.
Next release will be a new contract for McLean with Williams arriving as our first summer signing

Sad to hear this, but it sounds like Jones has been told the economic facts of life.
Afobe has a poor scoring record here and at Wolves. I remember his poor attitude at Hull when he came on, totally disinterested.
I am now very concerned that we will be told Ince is staying next, and then McClean. Has Jones been told he will have to work with the players the club has invested heavily in?

Oh well, you've got trust your manager and if this is what he wants then so be it, its what he gets paid for, if it fails then its his job on the line.

Ignoring the made up scenarios above, Afobe not exactly looked the part but we will need a pool of 3 or 4 strikers. Hopefully Diouf and Berahinho won't be here next season and I guess unloading Afobe maybe asking a bit much.

If we're inking in Vokes, Afobe and Gregory as 3 of the 4 strikers in the (supposedly tight squad of) 20, maybe it'll boil down to Campbell or a new man as the fourth option?
If not Campbell, surely we do need a bit of pace up there as the other striker in the group?

What an idiotic article. Of course he’s going to ‘survive the summer’. What kind of moron is going to take on a guy who can’t trap a fart and thinks row z is where the back of the net is....on 40k a week and has years left on his contract. Hardly breaking news is it.

46 games x 2 frontment = equivalent of 92 "opportunities" (i.e. full games) up for grabs.... Assuming Vokes as first pick and other opps shared... Vokes 15 goals in 40 Gregory 12 goals in 27 Afobe 8 goals in 25 1/2 way to the play offs Now we definitely need a goalscoring midfielder and probably a goal scoring centre half Nick Powell (free) - 7 in 35 Michael Morrison (free) 5 in 35 = 47 Etebo, Clucas, Edwards, Batth, Shawx, JJ to chip in a total of 15 = 62 goals With a superior defensive record, we are heading for about 10th-13th. If on the other hand, we don't have a goal scoring midfielder and CH, its more than 55 goals and 12-15th. When you put it like that...didn't Huddersfield get promoted with a zero or negative GD a couple of seasons ago? Played 46. Won 25. Drew 6. Lost 15. GF: 56. GA: 58. GD -2. Points 81. Now I believe.

Afobe will stay.... Makes it sounds like there are loads of Clubs after him, and he's doing us a favour.
Another expensive flop that we're stuck with

The only way this is acceptable is if we sign,as well as Gregory,a decent striker pushing Afobe down the pecking order.

Yes, the other way of looking at it I guess is how often does a squad with the quality we are assembling get into the top 6. Once every 20 years maybe!?

Tony, we're in the early stages of assembling a squad, so we really don't know what we'll have come August. I'm pretty sure most Norwich fans didn't expect to win the League, even after last season started. Look to keep in touch with the Top 6 and anything could happen.

I expect all the Rowett signings to stay, we can't shift them for what we paid, and no one will match their wages, which is also why the big clear out won't and never does happen!

F*** me Tony, why is Afobe going to double his goal output- it’s taken Jimmy Greaves the second 40 games to score 8 including 2 penalties and you think he will get 8 in 25- you are certainly optimistic.

I don't mind this at all if Jones can get him back to his best. He was really, really poor last season but we know he's capable of better.
A pool of Afobe, Vokes, Gregory and A.N. Other would be steady enough.
I too think we'll see Campbell out on loan again.
