Wardie Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 IF only IF we go down who from the squad do you think we will keep hold of. Looking at our squad list I cant see it being many...... GK Gerken Carey DF Fonts Nyatanga Wilson Foster MF Elliott Skuse Reid Bryan Bolasie JCR Holloway FW Stead Pitman So in total 15 from the current bunch. What are other peoples thoughts? I would like to add I dont think we are going down just yet, but been thinking about it just in case disaster does happen! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 You think we'd sell albert? I think he'll go if we go down. Someone in the Championship would want him , and if the offer was right I think we would sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on here with this mate, he clearly doesn't care, and is one of many that clearly do not care about the club and are in it for the money. Why people still think he can offer us something really is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 You will probably find of the keep list elliott and fontain probably have relegation release clauses. Prob 500k apiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Sadly that's true. You can tell from most of their performances most of them are not bothered either way. Around the end of the season we often say that they are already on the beach. Recently it seems like many of them are already in another club's team. It's hard to be proud and care when it isn't mutual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other question is whether the players under contract have a clause specifying that their wages are reduced if we get relegated. The fact that they are not exactly fighting for their lives suggests probably not. £10k a week in Division 3 perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently it seems like many of them are already in another club's team. It's hard to be proud and care when it isn't mutual. Just another reminder of why we should never let it get to this again, I wouldn't mind being in a relegation scrap if we had things to cling on to. For example playing an attacking brand of football, home and away, investing in youth a lot more and at least seeing some being given more of a chance (providing we have youngsters good enough). Whilst know one would wants to be involved in a relegation battle, at least under different circumstances it would be a bit more understanding. This has been coming for far too long, starting with quick fix loan signings of journeymen, to actually signing these journeymen, or even worse signing players that are never going to improve us and take us to the next level. Woolford for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woolford for instance. The worst thing is, Lansdown said after we got promoted we had learnt from the last time, and wouldnt make the same mistakes. Well....we have, and were going to pay for it it looks like. After last seasons debacle, I didn't think it could be any worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcliffe 78 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Couldnt care who we keep as not a single player in our team will dissapoint me if they left.

Brizzle Jordan Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Fontaine, Albert, Wilson will play Prem football i think we should keep these three. Really? I dont think any of them will. Fontaine is a good championship defender, nothing more. Wilson is still fairly young but he's old enough to have earnt himself a place in the starting 11 week in week out. Albert is a great player at this level but he has too many areas of his game that aren't good enough for the premier league in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Fontaine, Albert, Wilson will play Prem football i think we should keep these three. Blinkered view I think my friend. Albert has the potential to play at the top level, but potential is nothing if you don't reach it. Wilson will not ever play Premier League football IMO. Be very surprised if he made it. As for Fonts, I rate him but I think many believe him to be better than what he is. A decent servant for us, and a steady championship centre half but no more I'm afraid.

nickolas Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Unfortunately the 'if' on current form is actually going to be 'when'. Sumhow we need to find 2 or 3 wins on the trot to dig ourselves out. Unfortunately we may well need it just to catch up looking at the month of march fixtures. Then we hav forest and cov. We dont tend to pull out the results when we really need them do we. I really hope we can find approx 15 points from somewhere though although we hav 31 after 33 games so thats almost half of our seasons total in less than half the games. We really dont need League 1 obscurity again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Eyed Monster Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Couldnt care who we keep as not a single player in our team will dissapoint me if they left. I'd be very disappointed to lose Pitman. We've only seen a glimpse of what he can do. He's the type of player that we'd look at in another team and think 'why did we ever let him go!'.

If we get relegated he'd be our key to getting back up, and in a reasonably successful City team would be League 1's top scorer. He'd be our latter day Bob Taylor, vital he stays.
