Evy11_BCFC Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 So three more players moved on permanently, in addition to those who have moved out on loan earlier in the window, the squad is starting to reduce in size. With this months dealings we are left with; Goalkeepers; David James, Dean Gerken (2) Full backs; Jordan Spence, Jamie McAllister, Christian Ribiero, Joe Edwards, Richard Foster, Ryan McGivern (6) Central defenders; Liam Fontaine, Lewin Nyatanga, Louis Carey, James Wilson, Damion Stewart (5) Wingers; Martyn Woolford, Yannick Bolasie, Jamal Campbell-Ryce, Albert Adomah, Stephen Pearson (5) Central midfielders; Marvin Elliott, Neil Kilkenny, Cole Skuse, Kalifa Cisse (4) Strikers; Jon Stead, Ryan Taylor, David Clarkson, Marlon Jackson, Brett Pitman, Chris Wood (6) Total = 28 Out of contract this summer/loan expires = 13 In contract past this summer but seemingly out of favour = 4 In contract past this summer and currently involved in the first team squad = 11 With so many players facing uncertain futures, it definately looks like this summer is going to be a busy one.

mcbcfc Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Looking at it apart from cisse, maybe a case for James but at a huge pay cut, the rest who are out of contract are more than welcome to leave. Add woolford and Stewart to the goodbye list and rebuild around the 12-13 left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think that largely those still in contract are our best players. I'd retain Cissé and offer James another year as player/coach. Maybe Edwards, and Ribeiro is a tough one as he's made of polystyrene but has ability. This summer should be interesting and I'm hopefull we could do a *spits* Cardiff and rebuild but keep on an upward trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 James, Ribs, Carey, Cisse and Pearson should all be retained and the rest allowed to move on. Of the Loan players i'd only be interested in Wood, but really a fully fit Stead should be doing better? We also need to find suitors for Woolford and Stewart - Ryan Taylor, I'm not sure?

Kid in the Riot Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 A fascinating summer in store, could be looking at 7-8 players coming in?? More?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbens1986 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think James one more year since dm been here he has been very good in goal.and cisse,Pearson,maybe Carey only as backup,ribs if he does well on loan.Ryan Taylor perhaps keep for a year send on loan for six months see if he does okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 A fascinating summer in store, could be looking at 7-8 players coming in?? More?? I'd give Jamo another year, sign Pearson based on current form , and definitely Cisse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Del said in an interview recently that he's not really had the opportunity to work with Ryan Taylor, due to him being injured very soon after he arrived. Del also said he was really pleased to have Taylor back on the brink of training and looked forward to assessing him, having been impressed with his attitude. I'd suggest his is not out of favour but 'unknown' until we know what the management thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Del said in an interview recently that he's not really had the opportunity to work with Ryan Taylor, due to him being injured very soon after he arrived. Del also said he was really pleased to have Taylor back on the brink of training and looked forward to assessing him, having been impressed with his attitude. I'd suggest his is not out of favour but 'unknown' until we know what the management thinks. Beat me to it. Didn't he sustain an ankle injury playing a reserve fixture down at Mangotsfield? As for the others, Cisse has to be top of that list for me. If we can find a suitable 'keeper i'd be pleased if we saved some of Jamo's wages. I see no need to retain Carey, wonderful servant to the club but its time for someone new. Pearson seems decent, and with Bolasie on form we might see him playing more centrally. He gives us options. As much as i'd like to see Clarkson given some games its pretty clear he needs to move on for his own sake. Edwards seemed decent every time i've seen him (which isn't many), and there's only one way for him to gain experience. Maybe a short term or pay-as-you-play deal for Ribeiro, he'd probably never go for that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Also thought i is worth noting that 5 of the 28 above (Jamie McAllister, Christian Ribiero, Joe Edwards, Damion Stewart and Marlon Jackson) are out on loan just now. So we've got a squad of 23 to pick from just now. Means we have 2 keepers, 3 full backs, 4 centre backs, 5 wingers, 4 central mids and 5 forwards. Meant to say Evy11_BCFC; cracking list, really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hinsleburg Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I hope Ryan Taylor stays and get's given a chance, thought he looked a decent player! Agreed, did well when he came on against Burnley and was probably our best player against Swindon (although thats wasn't really hard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangers Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I wouldn't keep Pearson on past his current contract. Simply because while he can do a job, he ain't someone who will push us towards the top of the league.....which is where we wants to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply because while he can do a job, he ain't someone who will push us towards the top of the league.....which is where we wants to be. Talking about wingers that are Scottish.See Jamie Murphy knocked back Blackpool last night?After they agreed a fee for him?Was happy with that,to see that finally we get to keep a decent young player in our league.And he does not leave at the drop off the hat,for the championship like so many others have done before.He is no doubt holding out for a EPL club,to take a chance on him.I say fair play to the lad.Another six months in the SPL.And he will become a better player.Andy Driver never moved to.along with Templeton.Was expecting some movement with that one.

Taylor10 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I thought JCR had another year to run on his contract? I think the summer will be a very busy one! It certainly looks as if though Del wont continue to persist with all the average or poor players that previous managers did. Wouldn't mind seeing a bit more of Ryan Taylor though. Apart from Cisse and Jamo on the expiring list, there isn't anyone that I would really jump at the chance to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have missed out a few players mate! Bobby Reid, Joe Bryan, Aaron Holloway etc.? I only added players who have made their first team debuts, should have put Reid in.

Simply because while he can do a job, he ain't someone who will push us towards the top of the league.....which is where we wants to be. We do need to be careful, for although we're saying a lot of our players are average Championship players, there's always the risk that the players we bring in are actually worse than what we had.
