plus should we have done more to have kept loan players such as Iwelumo

Of all those, I reckon only Currie would have made a substantial difference to the outcome of this season.
A creative player and a proven goalscorer would have made the difference.

Cullip - for his ability yes, for the alleged bullying of younger players absolutely not.
Virgo - yes, possibly the best player we have produced in a generation, sad to see him rotting in Celtic reserves.
Harding - I thought that he was a decent player, I know that others had problems with his attitude.
Currie - didn't see enough of him play to pass judgement.
Knight - we miss his goals, but his petulance used to drive me up the wall, I prefer someone to let their results do the talking.
If we hadn't needed the money at the time then probably all of the above would have stayed a little longer.

Yes we do miss most of them.
Probably Currie, Virgo and Harding the most.
Currie - great at set pieces and highly creative
Virgo - Utility man who could play all over the park
Harding - Natural Left back, which we have dearly missed.
Cullip? Maybe, but he has struggled for Forest in the league below and McShane was more than a good enough replacement.
Knight? Maybe. If it was top form Knight, then yes. But the Leon we saw for most of the season, then no. I couldn't see him finding the net. If we had GNW with Knight, then I suspect he would have scored a lot more.
Iuwelmo? Unproven or tested at this level.

We badly missed the first 4 for a variety of reasons. Recruiting Iwelumo would have been controversial given that we had the same type of player in Big Mac.

The Celtic fans hate Virgo, rumours he's been getting threads to injure his pets if he doesn't improve or move on in the summer. Surely he would relish a return to us next season??

Still second-top scorer, having played only half a season.
We've missed all of them, especially Harding.

Harding we missed for the first half but the emergence of Lynch has meant we haven;t in the second half.
Currie, I think we've missed the most. The most effective creative player we've had by far.
Virgo, we've missed his heart, although I'm not sure he'd have had the same impact up front again, and don't think he'd have got in the defence regularly.
Knight, miss the goals and creative spark.
Cullip, not really missed him too much. Could have done with his leadership qualities since Oatway's injury.

Yes. Glad we agree ...

Virgo - absolutely key difference between us staying up and going down last year.
I also thought Cullip was a big influence on the team and cannot understand why so many knock him. I'd love to have him back.

Cullip - Yes, the guvnor
Virgo - Yes, although I think people do go a little bit over the top with him. Fantastic utility player but was at fault for a few goals.
Currie - Yes, could have been the creative midfielder we needed (although he didn't always play when he was here).
Harding - Not since Lynch broke through.
Knight - At his best, yes. Just we (and seemingly Swansea now) didn't see his best that often.

On what planet exactly would Virgo not have been an automatic choice?
