Providing we stay up of course, who would you give a new contract too? These are the players going into the last year this summer. Some interesting players in there for obvious reasons. Adam Johnson Vito Mannone Danny Graham Steven Fletcher Lee Cattermole We must retain Catt's. We should sell Vito as he'll be wanting off and that's just respectful to the player to grant the request should it come. Fletch we should sell while we can still get a fee this summer. I'd give DG till January to turn effort into goals and if he can't loan him out for his last 6 months and wish him well. AJ's contract is perfectly poised for the outcome of his court case. So who would you keep? Crazy that there's 34 million pounds worth of spending going into the last year here.
Adam Johnson (Yes pending the outcome of his trial) Vito Mannone (Yes) Danny Graham (Wait time January if he has the same commitment as he does now then yes) Steven Fletcher (No sell) Lee Cattermole (Yes,Yes,yes & yes) Catts has to captain next season
He'd be lucky to get in the Leicester team man. All he does is run around kicking people. please log in to view this image
Get Catts nailed down to a new contract and let the rest go (preferably this summer so we can get some returns), Fletch and Graham seem to come from the Jozy Altidore school of goalscoring, Vito is good but with young Pickford coming through he is unnecessary and AJ is on big money but is very ineffective for the most part I'm sure we can get a wide man with more impact for the money that AJ is on, and as an added bonus they probably won't **** kids either .......... allegedly.
I would pull out the stops to keep Catts Vito and Johnson would be given sensible offers The rest can go
Think you may struggle to offload Fletcher as he's had injury issues and a loss of form. That alone wouldn't be a major issue but isn't he on a hefty package? Catts and AJ are good players, Vito isn't a big issue as he's a back-up and Graham is all effort and no ability from what I've seen.
We dont all think that. The cheque book is open at this very minute. Want you guys to stay up, but not at our expense. Enjoy watching Esteban Cambiasso - he has been influential in turning our season around (and the giant that is Huth).
You guy's are safe mate. Pearson's done a hell of a job. Now do us a favour and have a mare this weekend
Sorry fellah, but we aint safe yet, and we wont want it to go to the last game. Hope your defenders hamstrings are all ok, cos we counter attack with a lot of pace. Would settle for a point right now.
These contracts are the reason we can't move on as a club. We basically pay over the odds for mediocre players. Pay the more than the deserve to come here and it ends up a free transfer and fortunes lost. I would love to see a list of players we have sold on for a profit for the last 10 years. I think it would be under 10. On that list Catts I would keep and that's it for me.
Catts..keep.. Vito...not sure. Graham, Fletcher, can **** reet off Johnson...**** knows, but i reckon the damage is already done, either way.
You reckon? With the home Everton crowd on his back he came on and caused all kinds of problems. If he's found innocent I think he'll thrive. If not well, He'll be banged up a free agent and we're well shot and he'll be a dirty Mag rapist
Catts- no brainier for me as he's the heart and soul of the team.. Vito- definitely yes, Pickford to young to bring up yet and we got Vito cheap. Fletcher- couldn't wipe his own ass Graham- game by game contract for me, working hard ATM, although being a striker obviously he needs to score goals consistently. Happy with his performance but goals are a must ..
Do you not think Vito will request a transfer? I think he'll want off, would be unreasonable to turn it down. If Vito goes Pickford is ready to play understudy next season and learn from a very good senior in Pants imo. Played 33 games in League One this season. 10 clean sheets and conceding 36. Some good stats that for his first full season of first team football. We need need to start bleeding our youth in.
Who'd come forward for him after conceding 8 against the saints mate, maybe a championship club but take that game aside he's a decent keeper. I don't reckon he'd want to drop down, Cheers for the stats on Pickford statsniffer Say pants get injured 1st game of the season, I wouldn't want the pressure on Pickford, not questioning his ability but timing isn't right.. A loan season in the championship would be good for Pickford IMO
