Over the last few seasons we have not really had many players who could go out on loan to any clubs due to lack of interest.

As it stands we could free some wages up by the loaning out the following

Peacock
Aljofree
Marshall
and Easton(gutted by this one)

So anyway do you think we may see any of these players loaned out for a month or so

Can see Easton going out and possibly Aljofree. In saying that Marshall has already been on loan as well so maybe they could all go?

Do the recipient club usually cover the wages then? I can't imagine many lower league clubs paying Peacock or Aljofree-sized wages...

Casal?

We'll be lucky if Poole Town even want him.

Michael Timlin could go and Jakub Jesionkowski could go out on loan?

When is Casals contract up?

This summer.

Would love to see this players go either now or in the summer:-

Aljofree
Peacock
Casal
Timlin
Marshall
And maybe Easton.

Whether people agree or not we would need to sign a midfielder before we let Timlin go imo.He is still very much a important sqaud member at the moment.

Who has actually seen Casal play?

I saw him in a friendly against Portsmouth and didn't come away thinking "strewth that guy is crap", and I don't think I have seen him play since.

Malpas,adi williams dave byrne and Danny Wilson. None seem to rate him ;)

Saw him play early last season.  QPR in the League Cup maybe.  His positioning was poor, but I thought he had some promise...maybe I was just being optimistic.

wilson didnt even mention him in the backup for sheehans position today

Fair point, but the way people have a go at him you would think that he had been out on the pitch personally losing us games or not making an effort.

Now, I can understand why people slag off Hutchinson...

I've seen him play in 3 league games

I see a flaw in your reasoning........ Malpas bought him, for cash money as well!

(OK, I know that it is a weak flaw)

Saw him play twice, didn't think he was that bad. Certainly never had a chance, must be another reason in the background why he's been completly frozen out?

He was pretty poor at Southend-but plenty of people have had one shit performance

You'd "maybe" love to see Easton go?

i'd add thompson and kennedy to your list drs.

I was thinking Thompson but don't think we have enough cover at rb as things stand

I would say that Peacock, Easton, Timlin won't be going anywhere unless a club wants to buy them as they are squad players and will act as cover and maybe needed over the 2nd half of the season.

I think Peacock is a major influence in the dressing room and is a good person to have around the squad certainly he is always a positive influence with the younger players who I beleive look up to him

I'm glad a few people are going soft on Casal.  Have thought for a long time that there was a lot of nasty stuff being said about him without him having a chance!  when he first arrived and played a few times, yes there were criticisms, but mainly of the 'nervy' sort, and quite a few thought he showed signs of good potential.  then he was dropped and not seen again.  Clearly there is something not right, but not sure he deserves such vitriol!!! 8)

But he's contracted as a player, not a coach.

If he isn't up to playing for us, he should be moved on.

I see where you are coming from here but for someone that hasn't played for nearly 18 months there clearly must be a reason for that. He's even been left out of the reserves on occasions.

what? that never happened?

He started the season and kept getting caught out of position and costing us goals. Tranmeres consolation goal was his fault. Both of Cheltenhams goals were his fault.

As for which players could leave, well any of them - if the right offer came in.

I dont think any clubs are going to want to take any of our out of favour players right now. I'm more worried about us flogging the players we have who are performing and are out of contract in 6 months time. Paynter, JPM, Austin & Morrison!

I know just because nothings public doesnt mean it isnt happening but the lack of, well anything to do with new contracts still worries me

I cant see any players leaving in the January period who are under contract to the end of the season.

Depends then if we go up, if it is a yes then:

Aljofree
Peacock
Casal
Timlin
Marshall
Easton
Macklin
Smith
Paynter
Morrison
Kennedy
Jean-Francois
Thompson

Hopefully Ferry and Sheehan signed at the end of the campaign.

If a stupid offer comes in for any of the aforementioned sure the board would consider, but they have been saying last few days that they are starting talks with the pressing ones, which i imagine would be all those you mention.

Getting rid of Paynter and Macklin even if we went up, in my opinion would be stupid.

Its a matter of opinion, what I've seen of Macklin, I dont rate him and cant believe some of the hype written about him. Paynter will have served us well for Division One, he is not a prolific striker, but is a Division One striker.

I agree Dell - big few months for Macklin coming up.

This will of course sound(read) more arrogant that I want it to but how many times have you seen him play?

I'd give Paynter a chance in the Championship.

Not many, I think its three, can't remember the first game but he did come on as sub at home and ran it into touch three times on the trot, that might have been nerves but it certainly didn't show potential.

I only saw Casal three times as well, that was enough.

Paynter's honest, he leads the line and is a worker. He's a Heskey type - his job is to beat up the centre backs and create the space and chances for the Cox and Austin types to mop up.

I think he could do a job in the Championship, as long as you're clear what that job is.

Leyton Orient. I remember.

I've probably been watching him at various levels for about 3 years now. He has always stood out. but then I know professional football and youth football is a huge jump.

I still think the LO plays on his mind, he plays better away from home.  I know one swallow doesnt make a summer but he tore Franchise apart at their place with his pace and direct running.

As Nev said, a big 6 months for him. I think he's got alot more in his locker to show us.

Fingers crossed.

i've seen a bit of macklin and reckon if he can fulfill his potential he will be a fine player.
it's a big 'if' though

I have seen Macklin play about 20 times for the reserves and a couple of times in the first team, I think he has huge amounts of pace but doesnt read the game well (yet) misses chances which most players would put away, seems to get a little panicky in front of goal, has a good first touch but poor second touch, is not a very good crosser.

I think if he can get the minus points coached into him then he could be a good player but as he is I dont think hes any better than Marshall.

Re Maklin it's a shame i really think he was starting to get some form until the brentford game.The kid will end up a very good player and who knows maybe his injury could be our gain as maybe alot of teams are not sniffing around him at the moment.

At least he is getting some playing time players like Nathan Thompson are the ones i feel could not progress if we don't get them out on loan somewher.

Plus he's a better player than Mark Marshall will ever be.

Macklin at Franchise in the cup this season was absolutely superb. Ran them ragged.

If he can repeat that standard of performance on a regular basis then we have one hell of a player on our hands.

Thought Macklin was poor against Fulham, allbeit a lot better then donkey Hutchinson.  Hes got pace but nothing else.

Dont think Macklin will turn out to be any good,  probably end up playing conference football for someone like Sailsbury.

Macklin's only had 70 minutes of football since Brentford and let's not forget Fulham are Premiership opposition. It's too early in his career to know how good/crap he'll be, first he needs a lengthy stint of regular games.

It is a big shame he missed that chance at Yeovil, it would've done his confidence wonders if he'd have scored.

We need to get rid of easton the cunt , i hate his fucking collumn in the adver. I'd rather a first team regular did one like paynter .. i hate the cunt

O.o

Since when did Easton become a cunt?

I like him

Jesus, did he shag your missus or something?

I'd love a town player to shag my missus.  I'd probably ask him to autograph her.

Judging from a few of their reputations, you should probably check her for ink.
