i'd gladly see cureton leave but if he remains at the club and shows himself to be committed to the cause then i've not got a problem with that. sadly, i can foresee him half-arsedly strolling around the pitch hoping for the odd tap-in.
in which case, i'd get rid and bring someone else in. preferably someone with pace and the ability to play off a target-man style player such as peacock. perhaps roberts?
he is a difficult one. part of me says there's no room for sentiment and we're better off getting rid but if he stays sober and if he gets fit then he might show the sort of form he displayed when he first came to the club. i'd be tempted to keep him.
Exactly the same on both accounts.
Cureton has the potential to be outstanding but if the attitude and commitment is not there for a full season in League Two then even if it means granting him a move for a minimal fee or even a free then allow him to go sooner rather than later.
The worst case would be for him to start the season with an eye on a move and the disruption of him moving mid-season is not going to help anyone concerned.
Roberts, again has the potential to be priceless in League Two
if he can get fit, lose a few pounds and get his head in the right place. His pace could be devastating; I don’t think he’ll ever be prolific but on form he could be good for a decent return. It looks like he’s on the upturn and a hearty pre-season can only help.
One player not mentioned is perhaps Shakes who did very well playing for Bury up front in league two last season. Again he has the pace and if his crossing is as bad as it sounds perhaps he could prove to be more of a menace up front?
