Thought i would start a thread of notable players released by other clubs.

JET released from City. No chance ever of signing him mind

Not sure he'd be a good fit for us anyway. Looks lazier than Leon Clarke. His penalty V Walsall.

Nah, that's just relaxed ;)

Bollocks. I'd have him here in an instant.

Birmingham linked to him - no chance he'll end up here, more's the pity.

As mentioned above, Birmingham are looking to sign him. No chance of him coming here unless we get promoted... but even then, by the time we've got promoted he'll be playing for Birmingham by then.

Not to mention he probably would personally not want to play for Town.

No fucking way we'd have him here. Doesn't fit the core concept of Power's Swindon.

High wages, not that young, unfit and lazy.

Bar the first bit that describes most of us on here!

:D

Yep, I score 3/4. No surprises for guessing which.

Can we sign Steve Lomas?

City have a goalkeeping and central midfield position available. This concerns me a bit but there's not much we can do with Wes (if we don't go up).

Be surprised if he goes there as number two, and surprised if they're after a number one......

Fulham the most likely for me...

I'm clutching on to the No.2 thing too.

Depends on whether he's willing to sit on the bench for a season or two.  If he is then there will be some Prem clubs willing to take him no doubt.  If he wants to play week in week out then Championship is the most likely destination.  Can't see him being with us whether we go up or not.

His replacement will be our most important signing IMO.

Don't forget to wash your hands!

You're right. Dan Bentley would be ideal but we won't pay the fee. David Richards, Fielding's number two, is available on a free and would be worth a look.

May be very harch but just can't imagine Belford as number one.

Don't think Wes'll go anywhere in the Championship to be number 2, and definitely not Bristol City to sit behind Frank Fielding. Premiership, possibly.

If we go up I reckon we've got a solid chance of keeping him. He seems pretty settled and happy. We've got a good chance even if we stay in L1. It's all dependent on whether Power and Coops get an offer they think is acceptable and have a replacement lined up.

He's out of contract.

Wes is out of contract and over 24....therefore he is free to leave for nowt.

He is out of contract so there will be no offers to the club, only to Wes and he is free to choose.

Foderingham's gone. That's what I'm thinking and anything different will be a pleasant surprise.

Yep

This is what I'm definitely expecting us to have to work with next season.....Belford T. Nathan, Randall, Branco  :), Gladwin, Kasim, Rodgers, Beaker, Smith, Hylton, Marshall. 

Byrne, not certain, might attract interest and force us to cash in. Ricketts, possibly in a player coach capacity, although far from certain.  Plenty of room for some loans prob from Villa, and maybe use some Luongo money to pick up the next George Barker, who if memory serves, cost a small fee.   Bit to work with there, but looks a bit thinner than how we started this season.

Add Cooke to that, probably see some more youth teamers like T.Smith and Wood come through next year. Depends what league we are in as to the quality of the loans.

So we think wes isn't getting offered a new contract? I can't imagine why Power or Cooper would want to drop him. I know it's a bit late in the game but I still don't think they would just let his contract run out.  Willo I can understand but Wes?

Didnt we pay 125k for Barker?

I thought it was common knowledge he was on too much money?

Same with McEveley last year. Cooper told us at the dinner that Mceveley rang up asking to stay

Power has already said we can't afford to offer him a contract unless we go up (Like Williams).

He deserves to be the Championship next season at this stage of his career, if his agent is any good he should on the case already

Not as thin as last July though.

Thin but can get money from Luongo reinvest, which I think we will.

Giles Coke released by Sheffield Wednesday along with ex target? Gary Madine.

Plus the extra cash from the POs

What we need is a transfer window between now and the new season opening......

That's a fucking great idea.

Is there a 'Bright Ideas' section on the Football League website? If not, there should be!!

I'm surprised that nobody's thought of it before.

You could call it 'The Transfer Window'..

Too 'obvious'?

This is some groundbreaking stuff.

And when it finishes, it could click shut.

Reckon we must still be off break even, and next years ST sales were lower than hoped. So I doubt there will be much left over cash.

Get Villa to buy Flint and pick up the sell on fee.

There's something there, I think the needs some work though. Something a little more audible perhaps?

Maybe a TV channel dedicating hours of airtime to it  :hmmm:

 :hmmm:

Oooh oooh oooh I know. We could suggest having correspondants around the grounds with a back drop of mouth breathing fucktards stood behind them.

Reckon you're onto something there

There could even be a special name for the final day before the window 'clicks' shut. Maybe 'SHIT....We have no players Day'? Suggestions welcome

As if anybody would watch that...

 :D

David Ball by Fleetwood.

Fuckwit Leroy Lita by Barnsley.

Givenchy by L'Oreal. Because I'm worth it.

Dossena by L'Orient because he isnt worth 20k a week ;)

Pretty much everyone by L'orient I imagine, they're going to have Yeovil-esque change of playing staff if the rumours from some of my East London friends are to be believed.

I got told Henderson was also on £20k a week.

Which is amusing given - http://leytonorientforum.co.uk/topic353.html

"About time Swindon spent within their means."

And Jobi Mcanuff too allegedly.

Gold.

Jack Smith by Wimbledon.

Continuing the ex-Town theme - Jamie Stephens (who we sold for a pretty penny to Liverpool a few years back?) released by Newport
