    Surprised Cropper & Isgrove have been kept on, but no surprises there with the rest of it really.

    Thanks for everything Guly, Barnard & Forte.

    Bye Guly...and thanks:emoticon-0106-cryin A manager once said that the toughest job was telling a youngster he wasn't getting a contract, so good luck to those released...hopefully our grounding will make them valuable to another club. And they shouldn't give up, because clubs make mistakes all the time.

    I'm sure Rickie will have a few words of encouragement for them.

    Good on Les Reed sticking to his word regarding Lloyd Isgrove. He looks like he could be a late developer.

    No surprise in the youngsters released. All were bang average and Curtis was meh.

    I'm expecting Bournemouth to bid for him as a Grabban replacement.

    Hmmm, offer them Sharp to nullify the Lallana sell-on clause? Doubt they'd go for it but it's worth a try.

    Well if Lallana goes for, let's say £25m, that'd make the sell on clause worth £6.25m. Doubt Sharp is worth a sixth of that.

    True, which is why I doubt they'd go for it, but there's also no guarantee Lallana will be sold.

    EDIT: I can't do maths any more

    What do you make of Legget & Nehemie going to Villa?

    Possible we might regret that?

    Didn't we only just pick up Nehemie last season or something? I also thought I had heard on the grape vine, that Legget was a prospect. I guess not. Presumably we haven't released Isgrove because we think we can sell him for a few shilling.

    I suppose some choices may be made based on the position they play. A decent prospect may be released if we have two better players in that position. Goalkeepers seem to be something we have problems with.

    We have better youngsters in their positions. We can't keep them all. Leggett for me was decent, Nehemie was way inconsistent.
