eek!! :shock:

as far as i'm aware and with the help of some news sources, this is the current contract situation.

new contracts - ifil, jack smith, pook and comyn-platt

one year remaining - gurney, cureton, brown, roberts(?), nicolau(?)

two years remaining - peacock, whalley

out of contract - evans, miglioranzi, shakes, paul smith, o'hanlon, jenkins,

youth players - caton, jutkiewicz, wells, bulman, stroud, henry, holgate

Who's going to stay out of those then?

Evans - A possible, again not sure if there will be the interest unless he wants to perhaps fight it out as 2nd choice somewhere else.

Miglioranzi - Gone

Shakes - Will sign up

Smith - A cert if reports are right

O'Hanlon - Gone

Jenkins - Released

evans will probably stay as we can afford to meet his 'demands', some vague effort will be made to retain seano but he will choose to leave (probably after meeting us on tues night) and smith's future will depend on his fitness.

stef's as good as gone by his own admission, shakes has been disappointing and will probably get released and jenks will have to pick up his cardboard box and shuffle along elsewhere.

Do you think Shakes is on the way then, hasn't he already been offered a contract?

Good old Jenks though it feels like having to get rid of a stray cat that's turned up.  Can we keep him just for another year?

can't see shakes staying, he's been dropped a few times by iffy and doesn't seem to be featuring lately. perhaps he got a bit too big for his boots when the t&t stuff started.

if this was fm, i'd give jenks a contract just to have him around to make the place look untidy.

Youth playerwise I'd guess that iffy will probebly keep most of them, mainly because his relationship with the youth team.

Big worry is keeping on Caton. Yes he was pretty good at the level he played, but he's been injured for a year and might not be able to get over it.

Shakes has already signed a new contract.

when?

nothing about it on the bbc website, sky sports website, official website

Heard yesterday Nicho could be off to Tranmere. Wonder how that develops......

with tranmere developing an awful defence and conceeding goals for fun

Hes from around that neck of the woods and apparently hes highly rated by them....guess we will have to see.

i think now's the oppurtune time to cut off the chaff we don't need for next season and not offer people contracts just for the sake of having shite players.

i'd definitely like to see nicho fuck off back up there to his caravan

Anyone who thinks they are too good should go.  The same players got us relegated, so if they think they are too good then think again.  I don't want arrogant players next year I want hard working honest ones.

If we have Jerel at the back, Smith and Whalley in midfield and Peacock up front then we should build the team around them.

Roberts with his head in the right place would be an asset, if not then he needs a new club.

Why do you think Holgate will go Deev?

because he is currently out on loan....and we are hardly flush with striking options yet he still isnt getting a look in.

Me

  :shrug:  and me.

They're not taking Ifil as well are they??

Hmmm the defence did alright with him in it yesterday....we certainly didnt lose 3-1

It's only a matter of time before he gets back into the goal a game give away ... or did we imagine them all?

Hmmmm - that's how many points over a season??

No, you certainly imagined it...

How about some examples of goals Ifil has given away then?

Silly boy. That response only works when there are none.

How about a couple at Forest for a start .. where he stood and watched his man have a free header?

Ok, thats one games and a bad example, because Ifil wasnt alone in being shit that day. The whole team were....lets also not forget Ifil was man marking Tyson who scored 0 goals that game.

Where as their right winger scored a hat trick....now who was supposed to be marking him, Ifil as well?

Poor judgement and poor memory is a bad combination. Read the original thread again. That last argument of yours didn't stand up then either.

Didn't they score freely from set pieces? Nicho was assigned to mark Tyson but at half time had to swap with Ifil to try to stem the flow of goals via Ifil's mistakes.

Do you really want a parade of Ifil's cock ups??

Try the Doncaster away game.

His only asset is his pace and even that deserted him that night.

Where you at that game? did you see that goal?

That wasnt a mistake from Ifil, he was just beaten for pace by Forte....which is different from making a mistake

I don't think Ben Wells is being offered a new contract. Well according to a mate who knows him anyway....
He's pretty shit though, to be fair.

DV, why do you think Aaron Brown won't be here next season? He still has 2 years left on his contract, in any case and i wouldnt have thought many clubs would be looking at him just yet as he hasn't played many games, due to injury. Plus i couldn't see Iffy wanting to sell him.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Really struggling now aren't you!?!

Yes I was at the game
Yes I did see the goal
Yes he made a huge mistake - by leaving Forte too much room - a prime example of him not reading the game.

From todays adver...


Errr....no Sean.  :|  Sam was the best player in the side three years running, you on the other hand have been distinctly average most of the time, with the odd good game here and then.

Still, good to see he hasnt given up on us...unless of course he is going to do a Grant Smith. :evil:

EDIT: Having read that back, that sounds very anti-O'Hanlon... I am not and I for one hope he stays.

i'll be sure to persuade seano to stay next season tonight, unless birdy scares him off.

joking aside, i think he's being sensible in keeping his options open - he should be able to find another club in league one and despite having a relatively poor season, i personally feel he's still a decent player.

personally i wouldn't keep him though.

Ahhhh, Forest. Where their right winger bagged himself a hat-trick... :wink:

Tyson didn't score ... but Southall got 3 from midfield as Ifil froze.

Adje,Ive heard through a good source that Mr Holgate will be signing for Salisbury next season.

Forgot about Nicolau, he's not listed on the Town site, but is listed on the Hereford site, but not as a loan player.  Could be playing against him next season.  He was only signed for one season wasn't he?

Sean's the most overrated player I've ever seen. Did well on loan then gone rapidly downhill.

Holgate will join Salisbury at the end of the season, it's a done deal, he's just got a massive pay rise for his troubles too.
