Just been announced that Euell, Alonso, Doherty, Warren and Popo have all been released.

No real surprises there, although I quite liked the look of Warren in the pre-season game against Welling when he played RB, I thought he was superb. All the best to the 5 of them (especially Jason).
 
Yes, Super, he's the Alonso who Xabi could have become ;)

Am I right in saying Warren normally plays at CM? I genuinely thought he was the most impressive player out of all those who played in both halves against Welling in pre season, though I appreciate you can't judge a player solely on one match.

I hope Doherty signs for Wycombe, he seemed to have done well there and their fans 'on 'ere' seemed to love him.

Wonder if Euell will go to Wimbledon. Didn't seem to do much there other than get injured, but I know he's a bit of a club legend. He'll probably come to terms with the fact that he's sort of passed it now, and will presumably begin coaching with us or the Dons.
 
I think Hughes has an extra year on his contract.

Pritchard is out of contract, but is currently in discussions. Apparantly there was an option of a one-year increase or something, but the club are re-negotiating because he would end up on a lower wage/shorter contract than they want to give him.

Think Mambo is out of contract? Not sure who else.
 
I'd expect the Doc to sign for you guys Rocky.

Not sure about Hayes though, he took a big 'step-down' signing for a League One side last summer, so don't think he'd want to play League Two football. That said, I think he should leave, and it would be good if he could fire your lot back into League One :)
 
I was talking to one of our suppliers today whose Company is based in High Wycombe, he's a Spurs fan but has seen Wycombe at home 4/5 times this season and he said that, in his opinion, Beavon was a very very good player and will be playing at a higher level than L1 next season. He also saw Hayes play for them a couple of times and said that his performances were class with Beavon
 
Monarch - "Rumour is that it's going to be Hayes plus cash for Wordsworth."

This could have legs mate...

One thing I know to be absolute fact is: Paul Hayes will only leave us on a permanent deal for a club that would allow him to continue residing in the Essex area. Colchester obviously fits the bill very nicely indeed.

During his spell at Wycombe (which he thoroughly enjoyed by the way) he was put up in a hotel. Limited access to his family during this spell is something he’s not looking to repeat… So sorry Rock, it’s highly unlikely he’ll be returning.

He’s not the sort of fella who’s happy to sit back and collect his money whilst not featuring. Although he’s only 28, he’s well aware that football is a short career and he doesn’t want to waste it not playing. If the club can’t offer him a bigger slice of the action next season and they’re prepared to release him, he’ll be off… Providing the right club comes in for him.

Whilst I think he’s a decent enough player, I for one don’t believe he’ll cut the mustard in the Championship. If I were the gaffer I’d thank him for his contribution and allow him some time to fix himself up elsewhere. Freeing up the wages for another front man to come in.
