As we've got to the half way point of the season and the january transfer window is only 2 days ahead and it looks like there is going to be activity in the next four weeks. I thought I'd look ahead to the summer... So out of the following list to will be out of contract who would you keep and who would you show the door. Stephen Warnock Rodolph Austin Noel Hunt Aidy White Stuart Taylor Michael Tonge David Norris Zac Thompson Ross Killock Lewis Walters Alex Carins With the following loans ending Adryan Brian Montengro Zan Benedicic Dario Del Fabro
I think at Warnock's age, we could get someone a lot younger and we the same amount of talent both here and abroad. We just need to find said person. Warnock is 33
We don't have better, and his experience is vital in our squad of kids. I know if you are good enough you are old enough, unfortunately ours arn't good enough, and we need someone to be leader of the headless chickens.
I'm with chippy, keep Warnock get rid of the rest. I guess the loanees have the rest of the season to impress.
There's isn't better in the squad, I'll admit that and the fact he's been around for an age in the game is a great thing for the kids but he's 33 now if we resign him in the summer for a year he'll be 34. Some where out there, there is a player who's 5 - 10 years younger than Warnock who is as talented as Warnock. Most likely in Italy or France or somebody we've not heard of in Scotland or league 1 or the Ireland. Back in May would Liam Cooper have crossed your mind as a possible player for us?
I think Del Fabro and Benedicic will prob sign on permanently. They're young they've got a chance to shine. As for Montenegro and Adryan I wouldn't be surprised if one of both of them are handed a contract in January to make room for more loanees
Doesn't the Embargo stop us from paying fees? If so, I'd imagine making them permanent would be difficult; though the way the FA/FL works, there is bound to be loopholes everywhere.
Embargo. Do you know what the word means. We can't buy anyone. Adryan is ours for £3mill.... He ain't worth £300k.
Firstly forgot about the Embargo my apologies. Del Fabro I bet they could find a loop hole to get him a member of the leeds squad same as Benedicic. Supposedly we're trying to get Pavoretti and a guy called Sala from Bordeux.
Pavoletti saw us against Wigan and was so impressed he fecked off back to Italy. He ain't coming back.
Yet what we actuallyneed are a decent keeper, that communicates and commands the box, and a couple of defenders/ midfielders that can win the ball occasionally...... Cellino knows feck all about english football and its ****ing annoying.
Agreed but the names were hearing are midfielders and strikers. With Cairns and Taylor out of contract this summer and if we're lucky enough to stay up we need a decent 1st keeper and put Silvesteri on the bench. However I do think we'll have a CB position open if Celino can get rid of Wootton
Stephen Warnock 1 yr Rodolph Austin Noel Hunt Aidy White Stuart Taylor Michael Tonge David Norris Zac Thompson Ross Killock Lewis Walters 1 yr Alex Carins 1 yr
Oddly enough, you listed 15 players, Wolfie! Funny how that number follows us around! Yo give a perspective on my choices, I feel that 15 is too many to lose at the one time, especially in an embargo situation, & so difficult to find better for buttons. Stephen Warnock - 1 yr Rodolph Austin - 1 yr (only if we can't find better - he has his uses!) Noel Hunt - firing squad, after an appropriate spell of torture Aidy White - you still here? Not got the message yet? Stuart Taylor - 1 yr (has looked a fine Championship 'keeper when he's played) Michael Tonge - 1 yr player/coach (backup midfielder if required. Apparently a good coach & future manager [not necessarily with us!]) David Norris - you still here? Not got the message yet? Zac Thompson - not seen enough to make a decision personally, but as he can't break into this team, I think the decision has already been made! Ross Killock - not seen enough to make a decision personally, but as he can't break into this team, I think the decision has already been made! Lewis Walters - not seen enough to make a decision personally, but as he can't break into this team, I think the decision has already been made! Alex Carins - you would think the same as the previous 3, but as 'keepers mature later, perhaps we should keep him? With the following loans ending Adryan - I personally think we should keep him. Not sure everyone agrees. Brian Montengro, Zan Benedicic, Dario Del Fabro - haven't seen these guys play in anger, so suspect that they are long term prospects that are being kept.
Chippy was is wrong with Cooper now .The lad as quality written all over him I agree we should see how Charlie Taylor fits in I was impressed by him in the summer Silvestri will be a good keeper has good hands if you remember De Gea was critised when he started at Man U
Would still give Taylor a season or two before making the starting 11. This however is not a mind change on Warnock, I think we could replace him with a younger person with the same amount of talent
