Taylor10 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 If he stays Killy will be the main man next season Afraid so. Not thrilled by that but hopefully SoD can bring the best out in him. I would be surprised if a club offered money for him. If they do it will be absolute peanuts. I would accept any half decent fee for Killa though.

If they do it will be absolute peanuts. I would accept any half decent fee for Killa though. We have no idea what his reduced wages are but I suspect they are still high enough to obstruct even a free transfer and/or high enough that they could be put to better use elsewhere. Either way I cannot see us being offered any substantial fee or holding out for one if an offer to match or better his wages were to be made.

friendlygas Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 What makes you think that any money you get from the sale of players will be available to sign new players? Remember if you pay big money for players then generally those type of players are also asking for high wages. I think you will find that all the players you get in will be much lower earners. It can be a good thing because those type of players will generally have a lot more pride and play with passion which in a lot of cases can make up for the lack of ability.

Who said anything about big fees? But if we can pay 50k here and 150k there, we might be able to prize away some lower league gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 14 are the remaining contracted players: ie - Maloney Cunningham Foster Wilson Fontaine Adomah Elliott Kelly Kilkenny Pearson Anderson Baldock Davies Taylor Carey and Nyatanga have been offered deals but may nor accept - Heaton didn't The rest of your names (inc Burns Reid Bryan) are in the U21 squad SOD wants 18-20 1st team squad - and a shadow U21 squad who he will use to replace a 1st teamer when injuries, loss of form etc strike. therefore Burns Reid Bryan are in pole position to play/be subs. the rest of the U21's havn't made their debuts yet If Carey signs and Nyatange doesn't - and Albert leaves along with 2 others (all very possible) , that leaves scope for 6-8 1st team to come in. which is a lot of new players and can only be good.......some of us might like more to leave but they are under contract and SOD/Keith Burt seem to be doing their best to effect as much change as they can - given the contract situation. Let's give them a chance - and see how the squad looks in August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 There will be a large turn over but what is key in all of this is that we get new faces in EARLY. They will be young, will need to bed into new surroundings and team mates and will need to get used to SOD's style of play before the season starts if we are going to have any chance of success. I prey to all false gods that we sort ourselves out early doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way if we sell Albert for min of 1.5 mill we will get two new players in to replace and build the team. They may only be for small amounts of cash. We ARE NOT going to making big signings. Not that you gas heads know what that is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so certain the U21s but that's the senior players, though I reckon we'll lose Adomah and maybe Davies. The one thing that worries me is how much room SOD has to manoeuvre with the centre of midfield. We've got 3, arguably 4, players there already and I reckon that's the area where we need to strengthen the most. If Adomah and Davies do go and Nyatanga and Carey stay I reckon the 6 players we'd get in are 2 keepers, one CB, 2 strikers, a winger and a central midfielder...

fabio Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I would like to see 2 defenders come in, if Cunningham or Maloney get injured then we only have foster and Wilson to replace maybe Fontaine / nyatanga if we get 2 solid centre backs Bryan could go in at the back if needed Will need to replace Albert if he goes which is pretty likely. A quality centre mid, but I think they will go with what we got there to start. One striker poss two if Davies goes. I think the likes of Bryan burns and Reid will step up when players are injured and most probably play in the cup games. Plus 2 keepers is a must.

fabio Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 My Team for next season at the moment Keeper - new player Defence - Cunningham New player Fontaine / nyatanga - new player preferred Maloney Midfield Albert or new player when sold Elliott / Kelly New player Anderson Strikers Davies / new striker Boldock/ Taylor Subs/reserves Defence Nyatanga / Fontaine Carey Foster Wilson Midfield Kilkenny Kelly / Elliott Pearson Strikers Taylor New player U21s with experience Bryan Burns Reid With the right players brought in I think it looks pretty good but we need 6 strong young players to fit into the first team which is a challenge Exciting times!!!!

His point is we normally only get 2 cup games a season. Now we're in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy we'll get a third match but, given our general cup performances, probably no more than that. So if we had players we were only using in the cups they'd be paid to only play 3 games a season. I thought it was quite funny personally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
