Welcome To The Jungle Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Cunningham Maloney Kelly if these 3 are still here in September I'll be overjoyed. If we cash in on some and get rid of others I don't care.

Gerken's contract's up and I can't see him being offered a new one - so maybe a new keeper too (but would love Heaton to stay). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepUpLino Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I can guarantee you that Heaton, Cunningham, Albert and Baldock at least will not be here if we get relegated. How the **** are you going to guarantee that :s??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerken's contract's up and I can't see him being offered a new one - so maybe a new keeper too (but would love Heaton to stay). How did I forget Anderson?! Hopefully we hold onto him considering he only signed a contract at the start of the season. Solves the RM situation and could mean Burns upfront then, think the pace of Burns and Baldock would make most teams worried. Can't see Heaton staying tbh unless he doesn't want to move from the area then I reckon he will go seeing as he is definitely championship standard. I think it may be too much for the club to try and sign 2 keepers we can rely on in one summer hence why I think Gerken may be offered an extension.

Lrrr Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 On the subject of poachable assets however looking at other clubs, if we need a striker in the summer and Bradford don't get promoted then Nahki Wells? 22 year old striker with a scoring rate just better than 1 in 3, would back him to get better as well. May cost a bit but would be a sign of intent in our signings and would likely have a resale value if and when he were to leave the club too.

Very good player, if Baldock decides to leave then he would be a great replacement, full of pace and deadly infront of goal! i fear Championship teams may be in for him though, someone like Derby or Millwall.

LondonBristolian Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 The thing with Baldock is we paid a fairly substantial fee for him and I suspect he's on a relatively hefty wage for Championship level. Whilst I'm sure there's clubs who'd be interested, I'm not sure if he's done enough this season for any clubs to want to pay us enough for us to want to accept a bid or him enough to want to accept their offer. I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed. I also reckon we might manage to keep Moloney too - clubs could easily have got him from Forest in January and either they didn't go for him or he chose us so I reckon we're okay. Heaton's a tricky one - good keeper but his record this season isn't great and I'm not sure he'd move somewhere without a promise of regular football. I think we'll lose Adomah (which makes sense as he's only a year left on his contract after this), quite possibly Cunningham and maybe Anderson. Other than that most of our 'better' players haven't, for one reason or another, been able to show what they can do this season so I don't think there's going to be that many chasing them...

Fanatic Red Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Can you emagine Peterborough stayed up and they poached Anderson from us? it would really kick home then as to how far we have gone backwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think there'll be a desire to keep as many of the 'good' players as possible, but there's more at play than just whether it would be a good idea on the pitch for them to stay. Wages will be a significant factor and I doubt both Davies and Baldock will be retained. I don't think either will particularly want to stay, but if I had to net on one or the other staying I'd say Baldock is more likely to be here come next season. Cunningham and Adomah will have plenty of offers and may be sacrificed to fund further signings. Hopefully Burns and Bryan (who'd be fine in League 1 IMO) will be viewed as replacements. Kelly and Moloney will stay unless we get silly offers; they signed with full knowledge of the situation we were in so I think they'll be prepared to stay. Can't see many out of contract players staying though. The main thing we need to sort- be it in League 1 or following some miraculous survival- is centre half. We need AT LEAST 2 more from somewhere, possibly 3. I'd be happy to retain Bates as I think with a full pre-season we'd see his class. Other than that, get McFadzean in and find someone else. Not sure whether there are any good defensive prospects in the u21s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well I'm hoping that we can entice Jon Stead to stay on for a couple more years. He's been a massive loss for us over the last few games, is still only 30 and will do a fantastic job in League One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 My Championship manager offering Offer new contracts to Skuse and Heaton on average League 1 wages, otherwise all the below can go. I would also try to offload Kilkenny, Foster, Fontaine and Pearson if we can find suitor willing to take over there contracts, though I think this will be difficult. We have to try and bounce back at the 1st time of asking, Adomah is a luxury and our most saleable asset, we have Burns and Anderson who can play wide right so I would be happy to let him go so. I would try and keep Cunningham, Davies, Kenny, Baldock and Maloney who have the quality to get us out of League One, Burns, Krans, Reid and Bryan would need to play a more prominant place in our squad. Any money should be spent on central defence and midfield, plus a GK if Heaton does not sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Stead is a must stay. The lad would be great in L1, if we happen to somehow retain Baldock and/or Davies our strikeforce would rip most defences to shreads in that league. Agree with the other poster , 3 new centre halves would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citybs3 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I honestly hope no contract are renewed this summer. People are saying the likes of Nyatanga could do a job in League 1 so offer him a new contract. Why? Surely we need to try to build a squad capable of competing well in the Championship? if no contracts are renewed then this will be our squad for next year: Brendan Moloney - 2015 James Wilson – 2014 Liam Fontaine – 2014 Greg Cunningham - 2016 Richard Foster – 2014 Joe Bryan - 2015 Albert Adomah – 2014 Liam Kelly - 2016 Stephen Pearson - 2014 Paul Anderson - 2014 Wes Burns – 2015 Bobby Reid - 2015 Neil Kilkenny – 2014 Steven Davies – 2015 Sam Baldock – 2015 Ryan Taylor – 2014 I'd love to see Foster, Fontaine, Pearson, Kilkenny move on but I can't see it happening.

Nogbad the Bad Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well Heaton will be out of contract so can go if he wishes, Albert we will probably let go because we can cash in a little - but the others are contracted and I hope the club makes them honour them. A lot of people will be gone (if we let them, at the end of the season due to contract expiry) which will free up squad places and some of the wage budget as well Elliot - are people certain he is out of contract? I thought he'd had an extension. If he's thought to be thoroughly fit at last, and will take L1 wages we know he'd be effective next year. We're certainly going to need battlers. Stead - 30 this week, poor appearance record. He'd have to take a huge wage cut for the club to consider keeping him. He's said to love BCFC, well we're about to see just how much. If the club offer him a new contract at all, that is. Bates, Wilson M., Wilson J., Carey, Howard, Skuse - time to go, no messing about, no sentiment for the locals. Gerken - If Heaton goes, keep Gerken, he's easily good enough for L1. In fact we won't find better. He may well have had his fill of bench sitting though so we may end up losing both. Most of us accept Gerken is very capable, you just never know with a new keeper. Nyatanga, depending who we're getting in, consider keeping as back up on reduced wages. Again, he's more than good enough for L1 alongside the likes of McFadzean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
