Anyone know who we could lose? None mentioned are definitely expiring, it's only what I hear: Basso Dawson Kilbane Harper Koren Barmby Cullen Adebola If we leave it we'll have no players left! I'd say for next seasons squad depth we need to be offering Basso, Dawson and Koren new one year deals, along with Cullen as I don't believe we should give up on him just yet.
Me too and I'd maybe give Basso another year deal. Have'nt McKenna and Adestrola also only signed 1 year deals at the moment so they could be included as well.
Cairney's not out of contract at the end of this season, he signed a new deal taking him to the end of the 2013 season.
Ah. I thought he signed a three-and-a-half year deal in early 2008. Come to think of it, I thought Cairney and Cullen signed the same length deals at the same time, so this may mean that Cullen's contract isn't up until 2013 either.

Must have taken a serious bit of digging to find an article from March 2010! Thanks OLM. Or Boppy, whichever you prefer
Ah. Thought you'd have had to keep clicking 'Previous News' or whatever on the OWS until you reached March 2010. Shame I'm a bit thick really. Right you are, Bopster
It wouldn't bother me loosing all of them to be honest, keep Dawson and Koren at the most, the rest can go as far as I'm concerned. Wages can be spent elsewhere on better players, there all has beens!
Surprised you've included Barmby to get rid of? He's a LEG-END and I personally would still throw him on late on in games to mix it up a bit. It will be a sad day when Barms goes or chooses to hang up his boots as it was for my hero Deano !!!
Of course It will be a sad time, but yeah he works his arse off when he comes on but he has 10 minutes at the end of every game and it isn't long enough for even him to do much. He will be a great coach and I think by the end of this season he should concentrate on that while he's still a decent footballer!
Defo. If he keeps performing as he has done, we should extend his contract. Glad he's a City player. This is why it's good Gulasci is on loan - we may not renew it.
Basso will get another year, Dawson will be released but we have Dudgeon who will be a more then capable replacement, Kilbane isnt with us this season, wont be missed Harper has been replaced by McKenna, plus with Evans and Cairney we would only need to sign 1 CM in summer Koren would be a loss, however a loanee like Stewart or Bradey wouldnt be too bad (or Bradey on a perm deal?? cant see it happening though) Barmby will take up a coaching role, reckon we will give Garcia a deal for him to be our utility player next season Cullen is on loan so not missing anything there Abebola will be replaced by Waghorn on a full deal, plus another forward to cover Simpson (he will leave us next summer)
Depends how things go over the season, but i expect it to be Dawson's, Barmby's, Kilbane's, Harper's, Adebola's and possibly Koren's last season with us.
