Cant disagree with any of those that have been released really. Need to get rid of Esajas, Lanzano etc
Add another Keeper, Mceverly, Bostock (loan, impressed me when he played near the end), O'Kane and a stiker and we have a very decent squad for next year

Very suprised Esajas has been retained, the fat cunt
All that mean is he's got another year left on his original contract. I'd imagine the club and player are keen to part company.

He's still under contract. There's no choice unless we can sell him. Some of those on the retained list aren't 'players we want to keep', but 'players we can't shift'.

For me one of the main things I would like this summer is to extend the likes of Caddis', Ritchie's and Ferry's contract. That would be as good as three signings.

Esajas was definitely signed on a two year deal. Doubt he will find or be offered a better deal than what he is on now. Laranzo was also on a two year deal and nearly left once before by mutual consent only to change his mind at the last minute. I'm sure he has openly stated that if he can get a deal back home then he would leave. Just doubt,again that he find a better offer so just seeing out his contract. Both players are down to DiCanios inexperience at the start.

Smith was very much like Nicky Hammond as has been discussed on here previously. Not surprised he is now surplus nor that he wasn't even spoken to by Di canio. He was and is an able deputy-lower league keeper but where we are hopefully heading is not his level.
Still think he is one of the best shot stoppers we've seen in recent years and did pretty well against penalties as well. Only thing that concerns me is that I'm not sure we'll get a more able replacement. Who ever comes in will be 2nd choice and will need a long term injury or long term loss of form for Foderingham before they'll get a game. Not sure a young keeper will help either, having someone experienced will be a big help to Foderingham with his development.

which is why a david james type signing may be a good move - not james himself but an experienced keeper who knows his best days are behind him but is still able to deputise and offer valuable advice to a young promising keeper.

It's going to be David James, isn't it?

David James would be a fantastic signing as back up for Foderingham. Ex England, he would probably become GK coach too.

I saw David James play at Swindon in 1991 Watford at home when we beat them 2-1? Second goal through his legs if I remember rightly.

I saw David James play at Swindon in 1991 I saw that too, it largely formed my opinion of David James which hasn't really changed since. Calamity James.

It's going to be David James, isn't it? Hmmm indeed. Past it. Not even sure I'd want him as a coach let alone #2.
