Interesting list here http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/spieler/vertragsende/basics_GB1_2013.html detailing players who are out of contract this summer. There's some quality in there (I can't believe that Blackpool would let Ince go on a free) and I hope we try to sign some of the better players. Just for fun, next season's team could look like this (and not spend a penny on transfer fees): GK: Paul Robinson RB: Byram CB: Matt Kilgallon CB: Lees LB: Warnock RW: Jermaine Pennant/Chris Burke CM: Jonathan Spector CM: Chris Cohen LW: Matt Phillips CF: McCormack CF: Kevin Doyle Subs: Kenny, Peltier, Eric Lichaj, Tonge, Dawson, Diouf, Morison.
Spector is not good enough imo, definatly not CM..no quality to him. Leigertwood of Reading is almost certain to join under McDermott and he'll be filling one of the CM roles. Also LaFondre will be up top.
I LOVE Sam Byram but if we were to sell him for 10 million and managed to sign Eric Lichaj on a free I'd be more than happy! It would be great business in my eyes... MOT
Morning. Can't see Tom Ince being allowed to go on a fre, but at this stage of the season, I'm not sure there's much Blackpool can do about it. I also think he will go to a mid table PL team with Sunderland being a fair guess. Fair side JW, but I wonder what the wge bill would increase to. Can't see some of them settling for the 5 to 8k we're currently allegedly paying our first teamers. That said, if GFH want to invest for success, a number of those would be good additions with a chunk of the current team leaving in the process.
Don't want any ex players back, they had their chance and now they are older, slower and more injury prone. No thanks.
