Things are settling down now, we can begin to see where we are going...so who is Chris going to make an effort to keep and who is he set to sell other than Austin)

Austin
Fer
Yun
Phillips
Caulker
Ned
Diakite (I think he is still ours)
Junior
Green
McCarthy
 
If the club and Matt Phillips have any sense he will see the Championship is probably his ideal level. Same with Ned. So I would definitely hope to keep these two.

Fer and Caulker can probably convince one of the promoted clubs that it really wasn't their fault the teams they were paying for got relegated in successive seasons. I wouldn't believe them personally but that's where agents come in.

If I were Yun I would want to go because of the crazy way he has been used over the time he has been at the club but we can but hope Ramsey convinces him things will be different.

I think Phillips will definitely get offers, and not just from the promoted clubs. Coach Ramsey's biggest achievement at the club so far was getting him playing well, and now we will lose him. I just hope CR's got some up and coming talent to replace him.
 
Surely we must pull try our best to hold on to caulker Phillips and fer !!!!! Austin I get but frankly these must stay
 
I hate the way a team signs some players , pays huge amount for them , then they flop , and then as fans we are to accept they can just waltz off into the sunshine with the first decent offer , ffs fix the mess you created then **** off .... Parachute payments mean we don't need to sell also ....

Unfortunately football doesn't operate within the same rules as as rest of us. If we fail in our jobs we get sacked, footballers just get a better contract at another club.
 
As the season went on I became more and more uncertain of Caulker. He may be better in the Championship. I can't see Fer staying - a Dutch international in good form? He will be sought after. Phillips will attract attention from some of the new arrivals in the EPL. They might all go.

This is a big season for Ferdinand and Ramsey. They have their hands on the role and their reputations are on the line. If they cannot do it now they can only blame themselves. They really need to suceed so I hope they have the same fire they will look for in the squad.

Apart from Phillips, don't let the door hit you on the backside as you leave!
Charlie is a given to leave.

My last post was a bit of a throw away comment... I'd love Fer and Austin to stay but they are 'internationals' now and should be wanting the highest level. Caulker, I was really excited when he came and thought that he would do well, unfortunately the failed systems we employed didn't get the best out of him and his off field antics makes me think he doesn't care. Thanks to Rob Green and get rid, McCarthy should be No.1, he is young and the future and needs a run of games to build up his confidence. I really hope we can keep Phillips I think he will work well with the JET.
Oh, before I forget, get rid of the 'beast' he will be injured for most of the season, mark my words.
