I'd be inclined to loan Wilson and Fletcher out next season to Villa and Newcastle respectfully. Both will have big ambitions to return to the Premier League at the first attempt, both will be run like Premier League clubs, it will be a good a experience for the pair of them. Of course this is the best scenario possible, the likely hood is that Wilson will be sold as well as Keane. Fletcher will stay another year with the reserves or what ever age group it's going to be called.
As good as the notion of Ibra coming in and helping both Rashford, Martial and which ever of the young strikers stay, I just think it's to big of a gamble to take. We got burned on the Falcao loan, and that was worth taking due to his age, but Ibra as good as he has been, at his age coming into this league. We could do with someone younger, who can we can trust to score goals. Jose, does seem to find decent strikers and get them scoring, so lets hope he can do it again, we may not need to buy if he can get Memphis scoring as he did in Holland.
