Sorry if it has been done but who do we think will be on the way out then.

I will go with

Maklin
Marshall
Timlin
Morrison
Easton

Any others?

thompson

Henshall

cuthbert

Paynter
Timlin
Marshall
Easton
Macklin
Thompson

Morrison is under contract still i believe so he won't be going.

It would take a silly offer

The early talk on the new seasons squad thread http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,39041.msg831817/topicseen.html#new was whether Sean Morrison was contracted or not.

He is contracted but still think he will go.Teams are/were interested and if i were him i would not see being 4th choice centre back as a way of developing my career

Pretty good list. Pretty harsh for some on that list, well all on that list. But they need to go for their own good as well as they aren't playing. And good luck to them.

Sean Morrison got a 2 ans a half year contract at New Year i believe  :toocool:

are you him,or just his super fan?

I hope we give Macklin another try.

A few people have mentioned Morrison and LJF getting contract extensions, but no one has come up with any proof.

Im him  ;D

Lescinel definitely hasn't but i think Morrison has, Actually he signed a contract extension in Feb' 2009 that would keep him here until June 2010 so maybe he is out of contract?

Thanks, that was just the kind of proof I was looking for.

Haha jonny is right there is no proof of a signed contract.

The retained list will be announced this week (I reckon) so we won't have to wait long.

Easton and Marshall should stay

I think Danny may try and keep Easton around.  Its up to Craig to decide if he is happy to spend another year on the bench as "good cover".

If girlyred says Sean is signed up, Sean is signed up. FACT. ;)

I was actually going to type the exact same words

timlin must do something brilliant in bed to be brought on ahead of easton

I'd be surprised if Easton does not get offered another year as we are in L1, the rest will probably be released, I don't think that Timlin has done enough this season to get a new deal although he'd be borderline to be released if we can sign someone better.

I think we need to be looking at replacing the loan players Ferry, Ward & Sheehan in paticular have been pivotal to our success so we need to be looking to get decent replacements, hopefully Ferry will sign though.

Positions we need to fill I'd say as starters Right Back, Left Back, Left Midfield, centre midfield, and then we'd need another centre midfielder and striker as squad players and probably a right sided midfielder, and then it depends if we lose anyone.

Remember Fitton has said previous about us needing to sell 1 player a season to keep the accounts in check.

Cuthbert?

quite a few Id say

Paynter to Leeds - Austin to Newcastle
Cuthbert or Greer might well be off

Sheehan, Ferry, Ward,  - none are signing

LJF - might be taken by another club as he is out of contract

Could be a very different looking side ....

Yes, but this year there has been the 'unexpected' play-off run that will have netted between 500k-1m.

How do you know none are signing?

he's the all seeing eye from middle earth did you not know.

in otherwords he's a fucking hobbit and doesn't, he is just speculating

isn't everyone speculating at this point?

nope, I got told on good authority from a really drunk guy I've never met before that Ferry is signing.

....that and Charlie has a Charlie habit and JPM has split up with his fucking hot mrs.

Odd bloke.

Im glad you realise im sooooooooooooooo knowledgable  :clap:

so Marshall and Kurt Hammond have been released, Timlin and Easty offered new contracts, Paynter yet to sign (obviously).

Suprised by both Timlin and Easton being offered new deals. They have done a good job for us, but I thought we'd let them go. Suppose we will have to see if they get offers of first team football elsewhere.

Lecs has got 4 weeks off, he is heading to France for a holiday then coming back for pre-season which starts early this year.

I am amazed either of Timlin or Easton have been offered new deals, purely because of their lack of game time this season.

Although I have a feeling, Timlin will have been offered a pay cut.

Like Easty glad he's been offered something.

Kurt Hammonds has been injured for about 3 years, clearly spent it all in the gym. fucking hench.

i wonder if danny's hedging his bets, offering them both contracts and seeing how they respond... they can always pull the offer before the player(s) sign, i think. they're both pretty useful backup players so it's worth keeping one of the two.

Not surprised at all that they both been offered new deals, as they are decent back up. However, I doubt they will both sign as I expect they are only for one year? And there is bound to be some clubs who offer them a longer deal with a better chance of first team football.

Marshall isn't good enough for this level, and I think Macklin is likely to move on which is probably best for the lad.

Easton does alot for the club on the community side too I think - loves going out into the community meeting the kids etc

Shocked about offering deals to BOTH Timlin and Eaton, i'd have thought it would have been one or the other. Feel sorry for Marshall, even though he is quite clearly not good enough. His performances at Southampton away and Brighton away really were significant in our season. Hammonds, who the fuck is he?

Didn't realise Kennedy was signed on, is he really good enough?

Glad to see McGovern signed on though :)

Where does it say that?

I guess it means he had already signed a new contract. Anyone know for how long?

Kennedy has done well the limit games he has played.

Surprised me a bit in away, watch a fair bit of him in the reserves and whilst he always looked decent I really didnt think he'd step up.

On the flip side, Nathan Thompson has got a few mentions on here recently, in most cases he looked better in the reserves than Kennedy did in my opinion.

Its a shame Kennedy injury came when it did, was a big year for him...

I also don't understand the Mark Scott one. We already have THREE keepers :/

They've updated the article on the OS, LJF and Thompson must have signed extensions some time ago.

Great news about LJF, will be good for him to have some time off (which I assume he'll be spending with his family) after what he's had to go through over the last few months. I'll be breaking the habit of a lifetime and getting a shirt with his name and number next season - he is a god and we are not worthy.

that's if he can detach his arse from your tounge first

he's certainly had his moments this season the good, the bad and the ifil.

part of you has to wonder how much the bad moments have been because of none football related issues.

This is true, admittedly traditionally 3 keepers is plenty,  but Smithy is 30 now and Lucas is 32...

Danny obviously sees something to keep the youngster here, and he's done well on his loan! Plus, who knows... it might be a cheap deal? We don't know the wage offered or length of the deal?  :hmmm:

Poetry right there....

It must have been tough, particularly with the uncertainty dragging on for so long.  It was only last week that he had confirmation his sister had died, was that 6 months or so later?  

Pah, jsut reaching their prime. Van Der Sar isn't too bad and he's 40!

I have feeling they will try and get the polish keeper out on loan next season, probably worth keeping Scott on the off chance both Smith and Lucas get injured/suspended

I know that George Wood really rates Scott as a keeper and DW has said on a few occasions that we need 4 keepers at the club.

I'm a little surprised we haven't heard more about Alex Henshall?

Unless this is indicative that he has made his mind up and is off to a "bigger" club?  :badmood:

Henshall is off in the summer either to Liverpool or Man City, with Man City being the favourites at the mo.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that he was one of the young lads that those two clubs were interested in with these deals between the clubs.

:D that made me genuinely laugh out loud. Although he's absolutely right, really pleased Jean-Francois's been offered a new contract

I know.

I was actually quite impressed with myself.

Your forgetting Jayohachowen or whoever he spells it and JFL are bezzies!

so am i.

rumour on the coach saturday from somebody friends uncles dog who works with henshall mum is that he's off to city and picking up a weekly wage in the teens of thousands.

so that's official then.

Marshall and Hammonds been released...

Scott, Easton, Timlin and Paynter been offered new contracts, even though it doesn't look like Paynter's staying :

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2062734,00.html

I appreciate that City have more money than most African Countries but surely the wage bit is bollocks, even if they move isn't.

I think it is but if he gets called up the first team it automatically jumps up to 20k a week, so I heard...

Not saying that is gospel or anything.

Although, he's hardly been modest and tight lipped about it, so I heard...

I can't believe Scott & Timlin have been offered deals.

From our point of view, the more money Henshall gets if he goes the better as if it goes to a tribunal his salary will play a major factor in how much we get. I still think an agreement between the clubs is more likely though, especially if it is man City.

have you ever seen scott play?

No surprises on the retained list, as we will be in L1 next season each player is good enough for this level, although it depends if they want to try and find 1st team football elsewhere though

to be fair to timlin at the start of the season he was playing well with douglas. if he can step up like JPM did this year maybe it could go right for him.

That lad is class and well thought of in the club to my understanding! There's nothing wrong with having 2 up and coming promising young uns about...

Hi mark.

How was banbury united?

Id say Marshall is definitely good enough at league 1 level,going by his performances at Brighton and Soton.

Are we making no effort to sign Sheehan-or has he turned us down?

pure guess work, but he's still under contract so we'd have to negotiate a fee with Leeds because we can offer Sheehan anything.

I'm surprised that both Easton and Timlin have been offered deals. Was expecting Timlin to get released tbh.

Personally thought that Easton didnt really put a foot wrong, he didnt set my world on fire though. I think he was just kept out of the side my JD and Ferry, did ok when he came on as sub. Who knows, if he pulls a pre season out of the bag he could re emerge JPM stylee.

Same here. Perhaps if Ferry was staying then Timlin might have gone, but if it's true that Ferry won't come back then releasing Timlin would mean Danny would be looking for two new centre-mids over summer.

It's looking like we'll definitely need to sign a left back, a centre-mid, a winger and a striker.

Heres hoping nijholt, that first season easton was quality.

Then that thick jock cunt malpas ruined him

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
I hate Malpas

Glad Easton's staying but we should be having better quality in the squad than Timlin, Not good enough for a team challenging for promotion, Very surprised he has been offered a new deal.

It was fucking nearly  good enough this year ffs.You lot are sending me suicidal

Pow please tell me who we could get better than those two on free transfers who are likely to come in and be back up players

I like Easton, still think hes a very good player.

Timlin isn't as bad as we make out as of late hes done ok when brought on.

Exactly Luci.They are both squad players and can do a job,i don't see the point in releasing them just to go out and sign two more players who are likely to only be of a same standard

Agree with this and I imagine that's Danny Wilson's thinking as well.  Better to keep who you know and fits in.

Spot on, they will be both be very usefull as squad players.

10/12 starts a year and then use their experience off the bench when needed to close games out.

Like Easton...his attitude on and off field is outstanding.
Timlin has still to win the fans over...hopefully he will.

and tell us all why scott is useless/crap/not good enough when you haven't even seen him play (unless you manage to regularly attend youth matches from up north)

Scott isnt bad by most accounts.

Heard a rumour the slave traders are putting together a £1.5 million bid for Ward.

Can't we afford £1.5million? Surely its got to be worth atleast having a go at ward.

No way are we going to spend £1.5 million on a player, get real for god's sake. We're losing millions of pounds per year as it is.

ward is not worth 1.5 mill of anyones money.what the fuck is wrong with everyone?the posts i've been reading are insane today

1.5m is probably a bit much for Ward but he's a player you could easily make a profit on in a year.

but, according to some, Austin is worth far more than £500000? how?

because they're stupid.

There is no way that Bolton will be selling Ward for £1.5m. You'd have to be blind not to see how good he is and that he is going to get better and better over the next couple of seasons, the improvement since he first joined us has been massive.

He's got a far better chance of going all the way than Austin and Cox put together.

going all the way to where jonny?The Prem?Cox is already there.

What are you trying to say? That playing for West Brom in the Premier League is the pinnacle of a footballers career?

What about the Champions League? England? The World Cup?

Thats why I asked the question jonboy!

Austin will be worth a lot more than £500k after another good goalscoring season. The lad has proved that he's a natural finisher and clubs have and will be sniffing around him. Hopefully he scores the goals to take us up next season but I think he's destined for bigger things eventually.

Austin should be a safe bet for top League 1 scorer next season, as I suspect he'll be taking penalties as well.

That could be worth a 10 spot there Nev
