Was reading in the paper that the Palace chairman was saying that they have to prepare for life in the Championship. Just wondering what the general feeling is with regards to Who would we need to keep hold of if we are relegated and who is likely to stay. Be patient. I'm new to this.
Maiden rep! Bit early for this innit? I expect (and hope) That Ellis is drawing up plans for both eventualities. Most of our highest earners are out of contract in the summer so that solves most of the problem. AJ would have to go and JoS if we can. Everyone else are now on manageable premiership wages and almost certainly have a wage reduction clause in their contracts so everyone else will be fine to stay. Next problem would be convincing Giacc and the likes to stay which I think is possible as this summer will probably be his only world cup being 28.
Hello and welcome ........ but that's all, I couldn't contemplate owt like that until the bookies stop taking bets.
I'm normally a lot more positive, but this feels like it has been coming for the last couple of seasons now. I think the high wage earners and "big names" will go: - AJ, Giacch, Fletcher etc. I think the likes of Cattermole, Colback, Gardener etc. will stay, (the English contingent) and would like to see the youth given a chance. Anyway, just thinking out loud.
I would like to see a youngster or two given a chance right now. Welcome to the madhouse, by the way. x
Thanks for the welcomes. I've been a voyeur for a while, (I mean on this site, not in general). Anyway, here is the squad list, with my suggestions: - GOALKEEPERS • 20Keiren Westwood - Stay • 25Vito Mannone - stay DEFENDERS • 3Andrea Dossena - go • 5Wes Brown - retire • 12Ondrej Celustka - stay • 16John O'Shea - retire • 21Modibo Diakite - stay • 24Carlos Cuéllar - stay • 29Valentin Roberge - stay • 2Phil Bardsley - go MIDFIELDERS • 22El-Hadji Ba - stay • 4Ki Sung-Yueng - go • 6Cabral - go • 7Sebastian Larsson - go • 8Craig Gardner - stay • 11Adam Johnson - go • 14Jack Colback - stay • 15David Vaughan -go • 19David Moberg Karlsson - stay • 23Emanuele Giaccherini - go • 33Lee Cattermole - stay • 35Charis Mavrias -stay • Alfred N'Diaye* - go STRIKERS • 9Steven Fletcher - go • 10Connor Wickham - stay • 17Jozy Altidore - stay • 27Ji Dong-won -go • 31Fabio Borini -go • Danny Graham* - stay I think whatever though we need to stick with Gus and give him time and restore some stability.
Think Johnson Fletcher Giacherini Cattermole will be bought by clubs. The 9 players that are out of contract will leave. Celustka and Ki will go back to their clubs The likes of Oshea Brown Bardsley will have to be let go for nominal fees to get them off the wage bill We'll need a whole new team pretty much. AGAIN!!!
You do know Gardner and Cuellar are out of contract in the summer don't you? I wouldn't give them a new contract like.
No didn't know about Gardner ands Cuellar being out of contract, (both will go then). Also forgot that Celustka was just on loan. Would like to see Catts stay, at least he has hart and bed in the youngsters around him.
Bardsley, Cuellar, O`Shea, Brown, Larsson, Gardner, Vaughan, Ji. All to go and replaced with good players. Buy Ki and Celuska if possible when their loans expire. Keep the rest and bring Karlsson, Ba, Cabral, and the best of the kids through.

Wow.... WELCOME with a bang ?!? Too early to contemplate for me like... But, in the event... We'd be starting all over again from scratch pretty much?!
Welcome to our board,CumbriaSAFC!!Expect us to beat Newcastle on Sunday,which will kick-start our season,so that we stop-up and I agree with Grandpops with his list of who should go.We appear to have a decent development squad,which will serve us in the near future...here's hoping for the next Henderson etc!!!!
