Ryan_BCFC Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 We’re keeping Weimann that’s the main thing but as others have said the Walsh one does surprise me a little but who knows what goes on behind the scenes? Would have tried to keep Pato as well but I can’t say i’m disappointed the others are leaving the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WirralRobin Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Huge rebuilding job for the summer then! 13 players 24 or over under contract with two of those being back up goalkeepers! (plus potentially Simpson and Weimann) WE REALLY NEED THAT CEO + DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL / HEAD OF RECRUITMENT THROUGH THE DOOR ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Great to see the clearout beginning. Don’t disagree with any. Walsh not done enough for a contract imo, constantly injured and much better players out there for us to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Expect Walsh is player's choice, can't see Pearson not wanting him to stay on after commenting how impressed he was by his game intelligence. Is there anything to so though that Walsh couldn't sign on before end of June? I know there's a contract talks ongoing section but could be Walsh has just said his intention is to leave atm?

Done nothing apart from being injured in 3 and a half years at the club, had 1 decent loan spell in League 1 & people act like he is gonna be huge. Highly doubt he was any better than Luke Freeman in League 1 & i remember a lot of people being delighted when we shifted him on to QPR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Bit gutted Walsh has gone, but hey ho - the clear out is in full swing! Lots of work to do. I didn't enjoy reading that squad list! Here's hoping we know what we want and get it done in good time. Don't want to have our pants pulled down by agents who know we need bodies and it'd be great to get a good pre season in so the new bodies can bed in.

RedRock Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Well, if that’s what required to change the Club’s DNA then so be it. Ashton came in and destroyed Cotts DNA legacy - which just needed tweaking. Think it’s a root and branch to deal with Aston’s legacy. So it’s an ‘ok’ with me, but four years and £millions wasted there to effectively go backwards on the pitch. Would be feeling a bit more at ease if we announce a wise and experienced head scout is joining us with a decent scouting network today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Walsh, Diedhiou offered contracts. Did not want to sign, so bye and thanks. All the others would be expected. Over 24s 13 players, with 3 goalkeeper's. under 24 some great prospects. With 11 plus Sessegnon going big wages savings. I would expect Nigel to go after 6 over 24,s. So this week players going from the mens and ladies teams plus backroom staff. I can wait to see who will be coming in over the summer months. COYRs.

BCFCGav Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Really pleased with that. Love how open the club are being as well regarding Simpson and Weimann talks ongoing, they easily could've just not mentioned them. Going to be strange when Fam, Bakes and a few others are at other clubs but we need a refresher. Another step of the big summer complete. COYR.

No wonder Nige said he was really exciting. Yes, thats what im thinking!! Some were obvious but others we have been speculating for months about who might stay... seeing baker walsh and fam on the list draws a line under this season now.... Re walsh, he is 6 years older than alex scott, the room for improvement in Scott is massive, id rather he gets that place in the squad rather than someone who has contributed practically nothing over the last 3 years.

BLRed Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Let’s just hope any incomings are quality over quantity, actually much better than what we already have or have had and also hold some future sale value rather than being expensive end of career players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole it's free up some wages, we have to keep in mind how much we were already overspending under the tail end of LJs tenure and this season.

TomThumb84 Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Has anyone got the info to hand on how much in transfer fees spent has just walked out of the door, without us managing to get them contracted so we could at least recoup a transfer fee for them? I would be interested to see how many lost millions went into investing in players that have led us to 19th in the Championship. When I have got my head around that figure then we can start to talk about recruitment policy and the management of players when they are employees at this club. As for Liam Walsh, this is a player that personifies everything that is wrong with this club over his time here. Signed for a 7 figure fee, deemed not good enough, sent on loan and was player of the year for a promoted side, injured on his return with no apparent ability to rehabilitate him. Absolute shambles. Can’t blame the kid for walking away. Lots on here saying he is not worth the hype, my view is that he is a proper footballer and will thrive and shine at this level in a proper club that has not been a run like a vanity project and a circus for years.

RedEyez Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Everyone getting hung up on Walsh cos he had one good season in League 1. He’s done nothing in this league yet. It was clear he didn’t wanna be here after he liked City’s Instagram post of the 3-1 defeat to Brentford. See ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said loads of times now, but he's so underrated. A goal or assist in every (less than) 3 games since he's been here. How we needed that this season.
