I have no idea about other players but Lockyer and Lines are set to leave. I see from old timer that a rumour is going around that Sinclair could be off too.
But we do know for certain that Lockyer and Lines are leaving.
Lockyer's dad confirmed before the game that Lockyer feels its the right time to leave to try and further his international career, so probably will be joining a championship club in the summer. I wouldn't begrudge him of this but will be sad to see him go. Good luck to him. What I am cheesed off about is it looks like we won't get a fee for him. I believe going by what Coughlan said, after yesterdays game, suggests he is not out of contract. If this is the case then surely we can command a fee for him! If he was out of contract then surely Coughlan would say so, when he was asked if we would get a fee. But he didn't. Instead he said its because of his age!
Lines is also off too. Players on twitter implying he is off and fans thanking him for his years of service to us and wishing him well for the future, which Lines retweets and likes. Here is an example. Lines posted a status saying he's made 500 career games. And Ollie Clarke replied....
On a positive note, that's a few bob saved on wages which could go a long way in recruiting maybe 3/4 players.
On a negative note, that's our captain going for nothing, that's the experience of Lines going for nothing and if old timer is right about Sinclair, that's a hard working machine going for nothing. All 3 players who have given everything for this club and will be extremely hard to replace.
Its going to be an interesting summer!
