Getting to the point of the season when we think about the retained list. Who would you like to keep? Who deffo has to go? Who are you not sure of? Silvestri - Keep - has to command his area better Taylor - Keep - worth as a back up Taylor - Keep - as LB Berardi - Keep - as RB Wootton - Keep - Okay as back up Bamba - Keep - need to sign Byram - Keep - over 6 million accept or keep Austin - Get Rid - end of contract will leave Cook - Keep - see Byram Dawson - Keep - Captain and give him a 12 year contract Mowatt - Keep - see Byram Murphy - Keep - one of the first names on team sheet, captain material (what am I saying) Phillips - Keep - loan out for season Sloth - Get Rid - not seen enough to decide may as well get rid Antenucci - Keep - promising early on but looks poor now Doukara - Get Rid - average Walters - Keep - hoping to see him push on next season Bellusci - Keep - not as bad as everyone makes out and is improving, needs to learn to head it and be stronger Cooper - Get Rid - arguably the worst transfer this season Benedecic - Get Rid - not sure who he is Bianchi - Get Rid - average before serious injury so won't be anywhere near Thompson - Get Rid - offers nothing White - Get Rid - hung around for years, took piss out of us with the contract situation let him move on Adryan - Get Rid - bad attitude, Ramon Nunez version 2 Cani - Get Rid - go back after his loan daft signing Montenegro - Keep - looked threatening in the youths and fast needs a chance Morison - Get Rid - working hard just isn't enough when you are paid to score goals Sharp - Get Rid - extremely disappointed, will be on decent money would prefer to free up the wage Del Fabro - Get Rid - lad is absolutely cuckoo, liability and we won't see much of him N'Doyi - Get Rid - looked slow and average although would benefit from match fitness Did I miss any?
Looked at the squad list on Wiki... I'm not going to miss Morison if we sell him, Zac Thompson can go. Anybody out of contract can go. I expect the likes of Byram and Mowatt to go if we get a good price. I think I read Cook was being eyed up by the Scousers but I can't see him getting 1st team football under Rodgers.
The difficult thing is that we haven't seen a ot of them get a good run, either that or we've seen them get a run under someone who only seems to get 'brlliant' performances from his 'lads'. As for your list, Kissa, got a few I disagree with, one I don't think will sign,& one who your comment puzzles me & makes me curious. First, Bamba. Don't think he'll stay. Will ask for too much. At 30, he's going to get offered a 1 year contract at best and paying peanuts. No brainer. Second, what's the story re. your Del Fabro comment? Looked like a prospect to me, tbh. I'd keep Bianchi, Cooper, & probably Doukara (who was scoring at a reasonable rate in the first half of the season). I was also quite impressed with NGoyi's debut. Would love to see him play match fit. Would like to see Sloth get a run in the positon he was signed to play in. Think he'll go, though. If it's true that it's Antenucci & Bellusci were causing the dressing room trouble, they should be booted out immediately one we get a manager in with bollocks.
Seen Del Fabro 3 or 4 times in youth and he's constantly looking for trouble, arguing with ref wreckless in the tackle, we don't need another lunatic italian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Seems like a poorer version of Tom Lees to me and really clumsy around the box just my opinion, be interested to hear everyone elses Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Fair list & fair assessment. As with others, I don't agree with all your suggestions, & I for one would keep Austin & probably Cooper. if WE SIGNED Bamba, who would you have as your 3 CBs?
Bamba/Bellusci and another signing Wes Morgan esque. Hoping jake skelton pushes on in pre season too as back up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Agree about Cooper, I think he has been really poor. Not good enough for championship Its so hard to do a retained list, half of those players I haven't seen anywhere near enough of
He's palyed in 24 league games this season Scored 3 in his first 12 games (goal every 4 games) 2 in his last 12 (goal every 6 games) Wouldn't quite call that a reasonable rate
Re Doukarra - If Cellino is planning to sell, currently he is an asset worth £1.5M (what you paid for him) - stark reality is he is only worth £200k so by selling him he would be wiping off over £1M of the value of the club!!
I'm sure Dawson is talented and he may still have a great career with Leeds, but I think it speaks volumes that he still hasn't been given a real chance when Redfearn is the manager - in fact, he gave Phillips his chance before Dawson. I would've sent him out on loan ages ago.
No one is going to be coming in with any sort of offer for Doukara now they know he's liable to go on strike if he's not getting picked
