Don’t we have options on Irvine and the capitano?

Obviously Ehab thought the contracts where too much money.

We could put it another way, if Ehab hasn’t have spunked all that money on Maddison we could have afforded both for another year, although Irvine hasn’t been good.

Hope Pennington doesn’t get injured, because Mckenzie is a horrendous option.

Wonder what sh1te we will replace them with.

Lopes is an able stand in at right back.

If we did then it would be on the exact same terms as current deal and we wouldn't have wanted to pay it

Which is worrying as neither of them were on more than £10k a week. We're already pitching well below the average wage in the Championship, we're now offering wages around the average League 1 salary.

I liked Irvine and Lichaj, the former was a decent acquisition and was a solid player. Lichaj lacked pace,but he was reliable. Both will be missed.

I think it's a waste, though, as he has played his best football for us in CM. While we're overloaded with options there, it feels daft to play him out of position if it weakens our midfield. I'd rather Pennington played RB, he's looked alright if not spectacular.

There’s Kane, Stewart, Batty, Toral if he can stay fit. Anyone else?

In preparation for League One no doubt.

he's wasted in that position though.
I think the first match I saw him was him playing in that position and I thought there was a lot more he could do in the middle of the pitch.

It’s McCann’s decision not to play them. He only wants players committed to the club.

They would only be able to play in 2 games anyway before their contracts ended. I'd rather stick with players who could play all 9

It's McCann's decision not to play them until their contracts expired. I think if they were willing to accept short term deals - and risk injury before looking for a new club - then McCann would have played them.

I agree. Apart from Lichaj the rest have been poor. So we’re not actually much worse off except for losing a bit of squad depth.

Maddison has been a complete waste of space. Kingsley was **** and I’m glad he’s out the door. I’ve seen goal posts move quicker than him.

Didn’t we have a year option on either of them? (Can’t find the thread with stuff like that on it)

Yes we did but it appears the club didn’t offer that extension and instead tried to negotiate a one year contract on reduced terms (according to Phil Buckingham). I guess the precarious nature of footballers’ contracts just now encouraged our Ehab to play hard ball.

And of course, he ****ed it up.

If maddison was 1/5th as good as he thinks he is, then we may have had a good player!

Pennington did a good job when he came in at RB.... for me, Wilks will not be a miss at all...

We can all crow and say were in trouble, but I guarantee almost every teams forum will be saying much the same... wherever we end up next year we have the two lads at Cheltenham to come back to bolster the back four and a half decent squad which needs one or two additions... and a new manager might help a lot...

... lets remember, some clubs will be very very very close to the edge financially after the last 3 months and we are probably now a more attractive proposition for a sale than before lockdown.

We have Kane, Stewart, Batty, Toral, Lopes and Honeyman. 6 players vying for 3 CM positions, not too bad in terms of cover.

We also have Bonds and McKenzie that can play there.
