'The developments could also have serious consequences for players Paul Smith, Steve Jenkins, Chris McPhee and Andy Nicholas, who are yet to formally agree new deals.'

Id love to see Sean O'Hanlon's contract withdrawn as well. Love it.

The reality is that we have a lot of poor players, brought in on the cheap either by King or Iffy.

    Wise and  Poyet are going to have to be very astute to get anything from our sack if shit....preferable would be a gradual replacement, so that Wise can bring in his own players.

   Macari couldn't manage it with what he found at the club, until he'd cleared some deadwood and made a lot of signings.

 I sense though that Wise may have the subtlety of a Mcmahon..and he may soon lose the dresssing room.

A mate of mine was well excited today.  

"Does this mean we can take back the contracts they offered?" :soapy tit wank:

Please will you shoosh, Reg ?  You've been far too prophetic for my liking this past year.

Surely it's like any other contract. Untils its signed either party can pul lout?

Some of our players though, fuck me. He will be right to despair.

A lot of them still seem to actually think they are really good as well. The message of being bottom of the league never really seemed to sink in 'its a shame cos weve got play off quality players etc etc'. Bollocks. Peacock already seemed to be loosing it about some of them and rightly so. A part of me would really like someone to give them a dose of reality, even if that would rock confidence to the core.

agreed! time to sort the men from the boys!

If they haven't signed by now they're just jipping us about anyway, fuck 'em all and I include Smith in that. Can't afford more sicknote passengers.

Out of them 4, Paul Smith would be the one i would keep the rest can go.

i want Smith to stay! i think Evans will stay with Wise and Poyet coming here  :D

Evans should fuck off, selfish twat.

I'd agree with that. Changes his mind cos a big name comes to town. He can fuck off up north.

 There lies the problem...think it will be sink or swim,  the young players particularly will have to up their game.

 :roll:

Come off it. Evans is allowed to look at his options... He's stayed until the end of his contract. it's his right.

Alot of players have treated this club far worse.

:nod: Not like he's even made a descision yet either. He's not being disloyal, or sneaky and previous to recent event said he would make his mind up quickly. Sounds fair to me...

Yeah but he told the club they'd have his decision over a week ago.

He's blatantly holding out for more money and we're his last resort.

Fuck him.

Well said (sort of) Dave.  This is two years running he's messed us about, trying to get a better deal elsewhere, yet some people claim he displays some kind of passion for the Town and has a loyalty to them. These people are wrong.

Perhaps the powers ( :wink: ) that be had a word in his ear to tell him he can hold on for a while to see what happens in terms of management?

Didnt he get an offer from Leeds last season but turned it down because he didnt want to be a #2 goal keeper....very disloyal indeed....

No, he didnt.

I dont think he has any particualar loyalty to the club, more the town itself as he's settled here with his familiy.

All this "If he talks to another club he's disloyal and can fuck off" shit is just bollocks though.

I want him to stay because hes a decent keeper, and I dont think we'll get anyone as good to replace him. Its that simple.

Be interesting tho to see how Wisey sorts out who to keep in the squad ... is it too late to get Migz back?

Our player of the season and one of the best keepers in the league one week, disloyal overrated shite greedy bastard the next....

Make up your chuffing mind.

If he does go, we wont find an equal or better keeper, thats for sure...

I'm quite amused at how angry people get whenever a player leaves the club or is even having talks with another club as Evans is. What the fuck do people expect???

It makes me laugh.

The same people who complain about how shite our team is in general jump on the bandwagon and start slagging off one of our better players.

Fuck me, we're agreeing VD :shock:

Keepers aren't hard to come by. He is easily replaceable! Anyone who thinks he isn't, is mental.

hahaha wrong. No he waited for a big club like leeds because he thought he was a superstar. Nobody wanted him and he looked a bit of a cunt.

name another goal keeper in league two that is as good as Rhys Evans who is likely to want to come to Swindon.

Evans is the best keeper we've had since Digby...(excluding Shay Given as he was never ours)

Why does it have to be in League Two. Most higher teams will have 3 or 4 'keepers, so will look to ship one out on loan (like we had Heaton last year). As i am not paid vast amounts of money to research these things, i can't name names off the top of my head, but rest assured there are plenty of good 'keepers hat will be availiable.

I'm mental then.

We'll end up with someone of the standard of Gremink if he goes. Bart was a decent league 2 standard keeper.

Anyone who thinks Gremink was anywhere near as good as Evans is mental

Arnt you one of the people who maoned about the ammount of loan players we had this season DB??? EH? EH?????

In all seriousness though, being a goalkeeper is pretty easy isn't it? I mean you don't even have to run around! How difficult is it to catch a ball?

I'll do Evan's job for half the money he was on 8)

P.S i personally preferred Mildenhall.

the one we kept putting 5 past when he was at Notts County?

Of course you personally perfer Mildenhall, because it backs up your opinion.

I personally perfer Evans....

Im fairly confident Rhys will sign a new one year deal

Evans is not irreplaceable, and you knows i'm right. Hence i don't care if he leaves.

Only saw him have one really good game. Lost a ball for his efforts too (well nearly). The Bartman was better than Mildy.

Evans is replaceable alright. But to expect an out of contract keeper to sign up to a relagated team without concidering his options is madness.

He is not irreplaceable in the sense, that we wouldnt find another keeper because we would BUT we would not find a better one....

 :nod:

Tom Heaton > Evans...

Heaton showed some promise. He had a dodgy few games spell though. Long term he may be better than Evans, based on what we saw he isn't yet.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

but Tom Heaton doesnt play for us, and probably wont ever again? so whats the point?

Petr Cech > Evans...

 :x

Let's not forget that Wise still has contacts at Chelski, Steve Clark for instance, and he must hve met Jose a few times too.

If Rhys does go, which he has every right to do, and we don't manage to sign a decent keeper then there's bound to be a keeper at Chelski of a good enough standard that we could loan for a year- OK it's not ideal, but if he keeps clean-sheets I don't care a jot.

Pidgely isnt as good ... but dont worry Rhys will stay im sure

If Evans goes won't we need two keepers, as Bulmans been given the boot?

Just thought I'd chuck that into your little debate.

Carry on...

Hes staying relax!

 :nod:

cudicini might be looking for a club

I saw that game on sky cause i was on holiday...looked fooking painful  :shock:  :chunder:

I would take Piddgers over Rhys. I still think Rhys should stay though. i don't blame him for looking around, would you stay with your job if they offered one year deals and didn't even pay you some months?

They can all fuck off except for Smith, who is probably the one most likely to go :(

i was behind the goal,if i remember rightly we went top of the league that night,after chris hay scored think he broke his nose in the process
