[DV]

Esajas, Kerrouche and Lanzano will either be sold or have their contracts paid up as early as possible.

I think Magera will be given pre-season to prove a point and will either stay or go in August.

Phil Smith will be kept as number 2 - which Bedwell as the youth keeper, meaning no deal for Scott. I expect McEvely to come in and thus Kennedy to go. As N.Thompson has been injured for a spell I think he will be given a short term 'prove yourself' extension.

Gabilondo is an odd one. He's played well in place then gone missing and then play well again for a bit. I'd have said he was one his way out - however, he was announced out onto the pitch yesterday which means he received a medal, correct? despite only 4(+6) games. Where as personal feelings aside you can argue that Kerrouche contributed more but didnt.

I know they werent there but I wonder if a medal was kept back for Cibocchi or Billy Bodin (who for the record I thought was out of contract at the end of the season?) or even Magera, Jervis and Ridehalgh who all played more so then McEvely & Holmes.

[Costanza]

Where was Cibocchi because he went out him them last night did he not?

[DV]

I was under the impression he was injured, quite seriously.

He left the gym with his leg strapped up in an ambulance but the club have mentioned nothing about it and Cibo hasnt played since.

No idea if he was out last night...

[adje]

that midfield looks a bit weak for league 1

[Berniman]

I can see 11 players in that list that I believe will be on their way.

Bedwell has signed a new contract.

Alan Connell's career suggests that he's had this problem quite often. Popular with supporters but easy for clubs to dispose of.

Dear oh dear. Bedwell & Storey only signed a contract a week ago. If PDC was going to get rid do you think that he would have bothered signing them to one year contracts?

[BenTheRed]

Personally I’d let all but one of the ‘out of contract lot’ go. I don’t believe there is enough potential in the young-uns plus the older ones can easily be replaced or not good enough.

I’d sign smith up again for another season and let Lanzano go

Defenders: we need 2 x left back – a first teamer and a backup. Jay Mc can be the first teamer

Midfield: release easyjet. I’m not sure if cox,  smith and risser will be good enough for league one. I think we need a championship class player, maybe two,  to partner ferry in the middle – so maybe one or two of those three can be backup.

Forwards: let Kerrouche go. If PdC isn’t going to give connnell a proper chance if he plays well then he might as well be sold of too. Give Magera a chance, but have a replacement in mind if things don’t work out come nearer the end of the transfer window. We need a proper partnership next season, a partnership that will piss all over everyone.

[tans]

I think magera would do better in a higher league.

I reckon kennedy, risser and de vita will stay.

Mcevely to sign.

Lanzano, easyjet, kerrouche all to go.

Cox is injured isnt he?

[Frigby Daser]

I think we've all learnt not to second guess Paolo. We'll have many a surprise over the next few months...

and whilst Magera may have somthing to offer, I'd be astonished if he wears a Town shirt again.

[otanswell]

They are all shit...release them all

[BenTheRed]

and whilst Magera may have somthing to offer, I'd be astonished if he wears a Town shirt again.

did he leave on bad terms? I can't remember. i hope he's given a chance as it looked like it was just a confidence issue this season
