Do we actually have those more attacking players though. I know Hall keeps getting a mention, but we've seen almost none of him where's Warnock sees him every day in training, habibou a similar case, Somma banjaxed again, Poleon on loan. Options seem limited
That being the case, who from this list should be released / sold in the Summer Patrick Kenny 2 Lee Peltier 3 Adam Drury 4 Tom Lees 5 Jason Pearce 6 Patrick Kisnorbo (on loan to Ipswich) 7 Paul Green 8 Rodolph Austin 9 Steve Morison 11 Luke Varney 12 Jamie Ashdown 14 Aidan White 15 Stephen Warnock 16 Danny Pugh (on loan to Sheff W) 17 Michael Brown 18 Michael Tonge 19 David Norris 21 El-Hadji Diouf 22 Habib Habibou 23 Zac Thompson (on loan to Bury) 24 Paul Connolly (on loan to Preston) 25 Samuel Byram 27 Sanchez Payne 28 Davide Somma 30 Ryan Hall 31 Paul Rachubka (on loan to Actn St) 32 Chris Dawson 44 Ross McCormack Leigh Bromby Alex Cairns Charlie Taylor (on loan to Invrnss) Lewis Turner (on loan to Chester)
Sort of pointless yet trying to answe that Elland. Would surely depend on what investment is available in the summer. If none, most would probably have to stay. If we have proper money list could get bigger. For now I'd suggest numbers 6, 18, 22. 24, 31, Bromby and if somma is not 100% fit after the summer, I'd let him off. Can't afford crocks on the books for two years I'm afraid
My released or sold list would be: 3: Drury 6: Kisnorbo 11: Varney 16: Pugh 17: Brown 21: Diouf 31: Rachbuka And I would send Habibou back now - we have him on loan with a view to a permanent signing, what a waste of money so far. Must be £40k a week there in my 7 to release, that would allow 3 decent 12 to 15k a week players to come in.... Diouf because I believe we can now get better, when we signed him it was good as in needs must but now he should become surplus to requirements next season
