I hope he resigns! its always horrible to see your favourite player leave.... 3 times in ten years is horrible! Super Scotty Parker Darren 'The Goalmachine' Bent Jose 'He hates millwall' Semedo sadtimes in my household!

Agree, think we have signed better players for that centre midfield berth. Thanks for everything, Jose. Appreciate the sentiments from the interviews towards the end of the season- but this is a new CAFC. A better CAFC.
So the one or two lines in the report about who turned up and who didnt is what we take as who's in and out ?
Yep I guess (as daft as it sounds) If Dailly and Youga are there as they are (a) hoping for a new Contract/in discussion, and (b) recuperating then I think the others have simply moved on .. as is their right
Well weve got so low the last few years there aint nowhere but up! so lets hit the ground running and get back to where we belong!
Just dont understand why the club doesnt tell us who they are not resigning. Does that mean simon francis is hanging around still ?
Cheers mate, i was thinking that was the case. So anyone else worried he may cost us a few victorys or confident he will hold down his part ?
Powell must have seen something of note to keep him on the books, I'll see how he performs for the first 10 or so games of the season before re-evaluating my opinion on him.
I don't think Francis is bad as everyone makes out. Granted he's not going to win player of the year but he's not terrible. I think a lot of people find it easy to have a go at him due to others opinions. I do like Solly as well but I think Francis will stay at right back. Hes more solid.
If we're moving on from a terrible 2010-2011 season then doesn't everyone deserve a second chance (McOxo excepted of course) Francis might prove the doubters wrong
He does have times in the game when he performs well, he is actually pretty good at getting forward and crossing, and is decent in the air (though a lot of the time heads the ball to the wrong team). These were qualities Jenkinson really lacked and for me, made Jenkinson no real loss. I'd say if Wagstaff is at RM play Solly, if Green is at RM play Francis.
Yes by all means, im aussie as so 'fair go' 'second chance' and 'help a guy up' are second nature. But if someone is leaking too many goals directly then you need to make the change. But i agree re solly, home grown, young.. he should be given a fair crack also.
I think Francis at times was good enough, but his reputation was forged by a lot of fans. Two great crosses and nothing, yet if one didn't come off he was heckled with abuse. McOxo was simply awful after the month of August.
