No great surprises........ http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/retained-list-814972.aspx Goodbye to Anyinsah, Virgo, Bevan and Tounkara............. Broghammer, Norburn, Harrison, Clarke, Woodards, Clucas all offered new contracts......... Bit of nailbiting now whilst a number of players consider the contracts they've been offered.
Pretty straightforward - releasing Anyinsah, Bevan and Virgo should free up some funds for 3 or 4 decent signings over the summer, including that all-important dominant CM. I'm glad that we're not having wholesale changes like the last few seasons.
Swindle have released a few players I wonder if any of them are worth considering Midfielder Simon Ferry,Tommy Miller, Joe Devera, Raffaele De Vita and Chris Smith. Ferry midfielder was previously at Celtic in 2010 made a total of 175 appearances, scoring nine goals. As for the signings,Seanan Clucas, Danny Woodards both have serious injuries can you really see them playing a part next season probably not. Ollie Clarke,looks as if he will play a part dependant on who else we secure and injuries etc. Mitch Harding, Jordan Goddard assume they are cheap bench warmers (not to be to harsh) Ellis Harrison, Fabian Broghammer, Oliver Norburn, all three worthwhile can only get better. P49 cannot forsee any nailbiting on the extra contract front unless Fabian has not settled in a new country. We Released , Scott Bevan, Joe Anyinsah, Adam Virgo, no surprises due to injuries and inconsistency as for Connor Finn and Sam Kamara I cannot remember seeing them play a 1st team game last year so it looks like a squad reduction exercise. Really it down to who else we sign Mildenhall or a similar goalkeeper,OToole does not look good on that front sounds as if we will be out bid or he will play at a higher level if so we require two new similar midfielders to Otoole as we are light in that area with Anyinsah leaving and Clarkson Clucas on the injury list.We definately cannot keep playing Parkes in midfield as is does not work. COR
Broghammer, Norburn, Harrison, Clarke, Woodards, Clucas all offered new contracts......... god I hope they all agree and sign otherwise we won't have a squad left. We should of kept Virgo and made him club captain and honorary director.
