Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

[BLUEAWAY]

Bacuna joins Sean Morrison, Joe Ralls, Aden Flint, Will Vaulks, Marlon Pack, Ciaron Brown, Josh Murphy, Isaac Vassell and Alex Smithies as players who have only five months left to run on their deals.

For me it would be in the order below but tbh assuming we don’t lose other players, the bottom five could all go and the top 3 would be the ones I would most like to stay.
1. smithies
2. ralls
3. flint
4. Morrison
5. Vaulks
6. Pack
7. Murphy
8. Brown
9. Bacuna
10. Vassal

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

Only the top 2:
1. smithies
2. ralls

The rest can go. I'd keep Josh Murphy though, if he would accept much reduced wages. That's about it

[Stanmore Bluebird]

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

Nos 1, 2 3 and 4 only

[Hilts]

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

1 and 2. 4 if shows any of old form.

Id give Pack a year in L1.

Id be happy if we just kept Ralls.

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

2 and one of 3 or 4 but on significantly reduced wages.

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

Depends on which league we're in.
Smithies and Ralls definitely in the Championship. Others possibly if we're in Lee Gwan, but I'd ditch Ciaran Browne even if we were playing in the Cardiff Combination .

smithies ...the rest can feck orf

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

Ralls for sure.

Smithies on a decent wage.

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

I'm not sure about Smithies. He was top quality in the season that we made the play-offs, but since then has he been any better than an average Championship goalkeeper?

Ralls is ok at this level. I'd give Morrison a 1 year deal because of his loyalty. I think Vaulks has a place as well, even if his passing is woeful.

[life on mars]

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

Flint.Smithies, Ralls only on reduced wages and 2 year max contracts

[binman]

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

Ciaran Brown so he can do his magicians act in the kids end at half time to keep them entertained

I’d also keep Ralls and Morrison

Smithies is not staying at that wage but he is a competent keeper so I hope something can be sorted though I doubt it. He’s off to be 2nd or 3rd choice at a premier league club is my guess

Bacuna Brown are nowhere near good enough

The rest have taken us backwards and need releasing including Flint and Pack

Re: Which of these 10 players would you most want to keep?

Brown, Vaulkes Pack, Bacuna Vassell Whyte Nelson
Have all been very poor signings and won't be missed.
Morrison has been a good Captain, but have injuries taken their toll?
Flint is average at best and at 32 probably could do a job as back up on reduced wages
Smithies is a decent keeper, but is he that much better than Phillips and worth 3 or 4 times the wages?
Murphy has played his last game for us and never lived up to the expectations of a £11M signing

Ralls would be the only one I'd keep

The business model isn't working too many on inflated salaries and not performing to the standard required.
More importantly its largely because of the above that were in the position where we are.
Time for a complete rebuild and if the club can find some other mug to take take Collins as well, happy days.

The big question will be is Morison the man to lead us next season?

This

We are at a crossroads and this is an opportunity to clear the decks and get in players who can play to the style that we are now adopting. None of the players listed, bar Ralls, can do that and we could be saving between £150k and £200k (if the internet is to be believed!) per week in wages on these players who are unsuited to the style, that's a decent number to rebuild with. It's crucial we stay up this season though as there will be a large number of free transfers out there but they'll be hard to recruit in League 1.....
