agree

What does kanga earn a week? My god

Check Davies' fitness first. If fine, keep him on. Alnwick too. Farewell to the rest.

I'd keep davies and Etete

I would think that if I was a player on that list, I would be busting a gut to get a contract extension. If my contract still wasn't renewed, I would have hoped that I had put enough effort in, to have made other football clubs take an interest on signing me before the start of the following season.

Isn't it also a case that if I hadn't been offered a City contract, one that I was happy with, I could sign a pre-contract with another club in January?

Two questions therefore come into my mind...
Have any of the above really deserved a contract renewal?
What other club would take an option on them in January?

There are examples of players who appear to have prospered elsewhere given a different environment / coaching.

Some on that list, among others with longer contracts, have arguably fallen below the standard they are capable of but could do a better job on a more consistent basis elsewhere.

Alnick a 1 year deal.
ODowda and Robinson maybe depending on wages but no more than 1 year.

Will they be contracts for league one?

Imagine winning every week in league one with Pep as our manager as he tries to rebuild his carear.
They wouldn't be strolling about under him.

Wondered why Siopis wasn't on the list but he signed a 3 year deal. Should we go down I imagine he'll move on. Likewise Colwill R and Willock possibly. If we can't shift Horvath perhaps Alnwick will be released instead.

Relieved to see El Ghazi on that list, can only imagine the wages he’s on. Wonder if this will be the end for Rambo or if he’ll consider something like MLS or Saudi?

Imagine the players we could bring in to replace them. Thankfully we have such a good record in the transfer market that won't be a worry.

Perhaps the forthcoming increase in Employers National Insurance contributions means we can't afford to hang on to any of them. Having said that we need to keep Alnwick and also Davies if he can get fit and live up to his promise. The rest can go

On what basis would you keep Etete? What has he done on the playing field that makes you want to give him a new contract?

I’d get rid 100%.

If we keep either of them we need another player anyway so cover when they are injured. May as well just wish them well.

earn means you've worked for it and deserve it. don't think that applies here?

Let everyone go.

The owner, chairman and CEO too.

**** it, and the fans.

Let’s just have an empty stadium with no football being played.

Wait…

Doesn’t matter what level we play at he’s always injured anyway.

You honestly think that Ramsey gets to choose his next career move to either of these?
They wouldn't touch him with a bargepole given his injury prone record in the twilight of his career.

He turned down those kind of moves when he left Nice

I imagine this contract is it as far as playing goes

On another note, I know he's injury prone but there must be an issue with our medical staff when it comes to hamstrings in particular. Constant setbacks for him, Davies & Etete. Ramsey managed 27 games in Ligue 1 before he rejoined us

Alnwick is the only one on that list the rest are either busted flushes as far as playing here is concerned and others to unreliable injury wise

My biggest fear is who is going to take control of replacing them as we won't have the same manager by then so this is another area of major concern for me to add a really long list of concerns

Lastly I appreciate the ownership and the management team are getting a lot of flack and rightly so but for me the players as a collective are a bit of disgrace at the moment especially after a few have come out and said how much they like Risa and how they enjoy playing for him - god help us if they didn't like him

Maybe Derby will pinch a few in the January window.

Do we have options for extensions on any of these contracts ?
I’m thinking specifically at the younger ones, Etete ( who is rumoured to be interesting Huddersfield with a loan move) and Davies.
It’d be just our luck after both have been injured for ages that they come good after Xmas then walk away on frees !

One would hope that those in charge will not offer these two on a free. If they had to be offloaded in January then loans would be sensible.

Kion Etete came to the club from a higher level than Ollie Tanner and has the potential to prosper in the 3rd tier whether it is at Huddersfield or for us should the unthinkable happen.

Same for Isaac Davies, Kieoron Evans and Joel Colwill.

After watching Ebou Adams flourish at FGR and then at Derby, I do wonder whether the decisions to let younger players go elsewhere are well thought out.

I cannot understand why a director of football has not been appointed.

Only renew O'Dowda & Alnwick for me .The rest is are rubbish and overpaid especially Kanga is that a typo surely he can't be on 4 million .4,000 would be overpaying wow.

The reason is named Vincent Tan.

Is it time to start offering a few of these new contracts?

Keep Rinamhott - An unsung hero form today.
I hope his performances of late (now he has been given a chance) have done the talking.

Completely agree, if we go down he would likely end up being a guaranteed starter and stay up he is a more than competent utility player.

Isaak Davies contract extension triggered - to summer 2026.

:thumbup:

FWIW its worth the figures next to the players name are not how much theyre paid, it's their value according to Transfermarkt. Whoever thinks Kanga is worth £4 million must be hitting the Ket harder than Elon.

And 12 players needed to replace the others. Should be easy enough. So 100% chance of having a better squad nest season. Cool.
