Thread: Staying/going during the summer

  1. #1

    Staying/going during the summer

    Niasse, Arter and Camarasa will be returning to their clubs at the end of the season, so are not included. Neither is Gunnarsson, who is off as well.

    This is what I think is the remaining squad, with who I think should stay or go. My thoughts might clash with others.


    Neil Etheridge Stay
    Alex Smithies Stay
    Brian Murphy Stay
    Lee Peltier Stay
    Joe Bennett Stay
    Sean Morrison Stay
    Bruno Ecuele Manga Stay
    Jazz Richards Go
    Leandro Bacuna Go
    Matthew Connolly Go
    Greg Cunningham Go
    Souleymane Bamba Stay
    Joe Ralls Stay
    Josh Murphy Stay
    Callum Paterson Stay
    Bobby Reid Stay
    Loic Damour Go
    Kadeem Harris Stay
    Junior Hoilett Stay
    Danny Ward Go
    Kenneth Zohore Go
    Nathaniel Mendez-Laing Stay
    Rhys Healey Go

    It leaves us with no strikers and 1 centre midfielder. Our centre backs are aging as well. It could be that our squad needs more than a bit of a rebuild during the summer.

    That's generous

    I expect the crowd on the opening day against Luton to be around 15,000

    Reasonable assumptions. Would only disagree on a couple
    I am sure Bacula will be staying.
    Ward ( on his showing today) could be a useful back up in the championship.
    Hoilett and Ralls have little to offer the club in any division.
    All loaners to be returned without silly bids

    Are Josh Murphy and Bobby Decordova-Reid really going to be staying after yesterday?

    Ah, I've just read a topic that included post match comments that Warnock made about Murphy not training well. I see where you might be coming from now. I can also understand how Reid must be feeling right now, so yeah, fair point you made..

    They might if Neil Warnock goes, and I hope he does.

    His post match interview yesterday was embarrassing. He is shot and has nothing left to offer. To leave Murphy out as a punishment for not training well is so childish, especially as we are fighting for premier survival. The same goes for Healey being subbed ahead of Reid.

    He has done wonders getting us promoted and uniting the Club. But we all know from his past that he has never been successful in the top tier and history is repeating itself.

    Next season we need to rebuild under a new manager. It will take time and I predict a mid table finish in the championship for the next few seasons.

    Neil and his team need to go and soon.

    'd be amazed if we don't get a can't-turn-down bid for Etheridge.

    Re: Staying/going during the summer

    Connolly and Damour are probably the only ones likely to be leaving. Other than that I think Warnock will look to keep the rest. Personally I would be looking to move on Jazz, Ward and Zohore as well.

    The Club can't sell him. They have a major advertising campaign running for season tickets and he features strongly as ' I'll be there' in 19/20 season

    Re: Staying/going during the summer

    Not forgetting O'Keefe and the returning loanees. Tomlin, Bogle and Madine can all be moved on.

    I don't think he'll look to keep Zohore, he's probally finally lost faith in the player.

    Etheridge is probably the major worry in terms of players being poached and, with Smithies waiting in the wings, it could be a sacrifice the club is willing to make. Mendez-Laing and Bennett have had their suitors in the past as well.

    I hope so, Zohore blows hot and cold far too much.

    Even though he’s been out player of the year I’m not sure Etheridge will be in demand at PL level.

    His kicking is the weakest part of his game and most clubs want keepers who are comfortable on the ball so they can start from the back.

    So frustrating on times, he’s obviously rigidly sticking to Warnock’s orders, but Jesus Christ mix it up a bit. The opposition always know it’s going to be a long ball and organise accordingly inevitably winning the ball. There’s times when both our full backs are free and possession could be kept, I've found myself screaming at him to roll it out but does he listen???????? No he frigging doesn’t, if he does leave he may have to go back to goalkeeping school and enrol in the distribution course!!

    I thought his kicking had improved earlier in the season, but it has been worse than ever in the last few games.

    I'll be surprised if a Premier League team wants him.

    One thing we definitely need, a goalscorer. Two would be nice, but wont be greedy, one will be fantastic.

    We never stole any points this season, not to my memory anyway (maybe Brighton home given the decision in our favour). We had to scrap and work for everything we had, a goalscorer may have stole us a few points here or there where we didn't deserve it.

    Re: Staying/going during the summer

    Well we'll need an almost entirely new midfield. Vaulks as a Gunnarsson replacement?

    Hopefully a few academy players can step up
