cityloyal473 Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Not disappointed to see any of them go. I wish we could also bin some other players, but there's a pesky things called contracts in the way. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said 8 minimum weeks ago and I'm sticking with that. I agree. I would fully expect to see the following positions filled: 1 - Starting Right Back 2 - Starting Centre Back 3 - Back up Centre Back (Baker replacement) 4 - Back up Left Back (Rowe replacement) 5 - Starting Centre Mid 6 - Squad rotation Centre Mid (Walsh replacement) 7 - Winger 8 - Striker (possibly 2 - would like a target man and a quick striker). That's before even considering replacements if the likes of Bentley, Semenyo or Massengo were to depart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyner and Simpson to be the two right backs Pring back up left back I think 6 players in will be about right with the youth filling deeper squad gaps if injuries continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 One observation which hits home just how things have changed in the last three years. With Pato and Baker moving on, this means that all of the players who got on the pitch in the Man Utd game are now no longer at the club. Zak Vyner was on the bench (not that counts for much as so was Arnie Garita) but didn’t get on the pitch. Think of that launchpad we had. And then think how we wasted it.

I do not have many feelings down below any more but the ones I do have are promotion next season. if the new gov wants to clear out what he thinks is crap then lets support him and get behind the great club of BCFC.

He has a sport, military and business background, as well as a strong local connection, and we have no doubt that he is the right person to lead this club forward.” Looks like our planned assault on Europe is serious this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Having just sat through (on the sofa) one of the worst seasons I can remember where we got outplayed week in, week out I’m not sorry to see any of them **** off tbh. What players did 2 years ago compared to their performance of the last 12 months has no bearing to me. Some people who wanted a ruthless manager on board are now bellyaching that we’ve got one who in his first act of ruthlessness just happens to have released a player they like but who has literally done sweet **** all for US. It’s Nigel’s cock on the block so until he’s proven totally wrong I’m totally in support of his decision. Ta ta and don’t let the door hit your collective arseholes on the way out.

Dodgy_Giefer Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 This is pretty much the clear out many have been asking for. Walsh did nothing of any note for us. This is promising from Pearson. Weimann is a workhorse and was a huge miss last season. I’m not sure about Simpson but we have to back NPs judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is just my paranoid mind and we get some good news about Walsh today. I’d be amazed if they can afford his wages! Was allegedly on £9k p.w. here. 49 minutes ago, Super said: 150k Yep, somewhere between £120-£150k p.w. by my calculations. I usually err on low side. 48 minutes ago, TomThumb84 said: 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. A ducking lot!

maxjak Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 If Walsh ends up at Ipswich..............I will be sorely pissed off. For the sake of a few extra quid we should have given him a years contract, he was injury free at Coventry...........such a shame about our shit ex-medical staff.

He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would follow Ashton and his merry men around the country and I can't imagine he's too fond out the medical staff either.

For me, if NP saw him as part of his plans he’d have offered a 2/3/4 year deal. For whatever we know, he might well have done just that, but Walsh wants to leave. But no way just a one year deal.
