    If you had the obligation to sell one of these 4 star players, who would you choose?
    I would sell Hooper particularly, because it's easier to find a player that knows where the goal is while the LB, CM or goalscoring midfielder positions are more difficult to fill

    Emilio.

    Although he's a really good player I think he's a tad overrated. Left us exposed on a number of occasions this season, get the most money for him out of the 4 aswell.

    Hand the man at the door your CFC card and never return again. (joke, btw)

    Anyways, i'd sell Hooper. We can get a goalscorer like him easier than we could replace Kayal, Commons or Izaguirre.

    Agree mate, definitely an asset going forward, bags of pace and energy but suspect covering back, leaves large gaps of exposed space for very mediocre centre backs to cover too often imo.

    While I disagree with the "overrated" comment, I agree he left us exposed a couple of times. That's partially due to Joe Ledley's influence, in my opinion. If you go back and look at times when Izzy has bombed forward and lost the ball, it is almost always Ledley who is covering the space he left. The ICT game showed how much we miss Joe when he isn't in the side. He covers space all over midfield and allows others to charge forward.

    I chose Hooper. I think his value is sky high right now, and I don't know that he'll improve much more. He's a great player and a real goal poacher, but I think if we were chasing a top notch striker, it'd be Hooper to go.

    I wouldn't sell any of those players at the moment. But if I HAD to sell one then I'd let Emilio Izaguirre go.

    I don't want to sell anyone.Sadly though if I had to choose it would be izzy just for the times he's left us exposed along the back especially with Wilson running upfield we look so weak at the back. Why can't we sell all the dead weight players that hardly get a game?

    Went for Hooper but depends on the size of the fee. If the money was right I might plump for Izzy.

    Really? I think it has took us more than long enough to find a midfielder that scores alot and contributes with assists like commons.

    Can't believe 9 people have said Izzaguirre would be the one to go, it has taken us so long (and is nearly impossible) to find a good LB. Strikers are the most easily replaceable.

    Hooper is my favorite player right now...so I coun't vote for him. Would hate to see any of these players sold.

    Im going to say it would be the price that made me decide because i love them all too much to say one but whoever had the higest value i would sell. More money more investment back in the club (you would think so anyway:rolleyes:)
