What do you think ?
Say the unsure ones stay we'd have
Moore and Lewis as keepers.
Full backs - Fabio, John, malone, Peltier
Centre backs- Turner, Morrison, Oshilaja + one new signing
Midfield -Adeyemi, Pilkington, Ralls, O'Keefe,Whittingham, Harris, O'Sullivan, Kennedy. + one new ?
Strikers -Doyle, Macheda, Revell, Mason, Johnson ? + 1new signing ??
1st team:
Lewis/Moore
Peltier Turner Morrison (maybe Oshilaja/new signign) Fabio
Pilkington Ralls Whittingham/Adeyemi Kennedy
Doyle Macheda
bench Revell, Mason, Lewis/Moore, centre back, Whitts/Adeyemi, O'Keefe, Malone/John
Doesn't seem to bad for me.
Only a few of the big earners left as well.
Proabably not good enough to go up, but a lot would depend on how Kennedy, Oshilaja,Mason,John, Fabio, Ralls, Doyle (yes I know he's 26), Macheda and the 2 keepers develop with more games at this level.

Can cut the wage bill by another big chunk, get £10-£15m in in fees and still have a young and competitive side.Originally Posted by BLUETIT wrote on Sat, 28 March 2015 16:19
The club could be top of the league winning every major trophy and treating the fans like royalty and all you'd get on here is people complaining that their heated seat makes their champagne too warm.
The ones you have down to go probably won't because they are on contracts for nr t year. So unless they pay them off they'll be here, or maybe out in loan again. Velikonja has a 4 year deal , so he has one year to go, and Kiss too, and he hasn't stared a League game in 3 seasons! I think Lewis us out if contract so he will go as he's in good money I assume, Moore us the cheaper option. I hope Fabio and Macheda go, two more of OGS signings, neither if whom can hold down a regular place in a se ind tier team, and again probably on good wages. I think some will be simply transfer listed at the end of the season to make other clubs aware they are available. The team has a lot if youngsters now like Kennedy, Adeyemi, Ralls, Harris and others , I think they will be hungrier to do well than some f the overpaid senior players.
as for Fabio and Macheda, I hope Fabio stays as he's been excellent since he came back in and Macheda has showed a bit more in his last couple of appearances and both are still young (ish)Originally Posted by cardiff55 wrote on Sat, 28 March 2015 18:28

About £5million for marshall? No way anyone will offer that much,Originally Posted by rich munn wrote on Sat, 28 March 2015 20:27
If not then he could well stay.Originally Posted by Father Dougal wrote on Sat, 28 March 2015 20:51
Given Gunnar has played in most games and captained the side a couple of times doubt he'll go.
Dikachoi won't go, surely he has another year on his contract and we'll want to get some football out of him, if he's on a big wage, given his recent injury not likely to find him a home willing to cover wages.
Noone signed a contract extension under Slade didn't he?
Doubt he'll go, the Norwich loan situation was probably more about the wage bill.
I hope we try to hang on to Marshall and Manga but there will undoubtedly be decent interest in both.

I think it's much more likely that Marshall stays than he goes and we get 5 million.Originally Posted by Father Dougal wrote on Sat, 28 March 2015 20:51
Every player at the Club has his price.
As proven with Connolly & Jones, any Club making an offer for a player, appears to be given the go ahead to do so.
Other than Marshall & Manga, ANY offer, be it free (to free up the wages) or a nominal fee, and they will be gone.
The only hope we have next season is that the players who remain are up for a fight. That won't happen with Mr Inspirational in charge of team affairs.
Dikgachoi was ore of a long shot, the club might want to move on due to his wages and the player may also feel he and the club have missed out. Again there was interest in him before and he's a decent player so he could well go.Originally Posted by Matty P wrote on Sat, 28 March 2015 21:28
