I really would be s***ing myself if Bridcutt's expires this summer.
Good job it doesn't.

I think one of these two will stay as a No.2 with a development squad lad as no.3. Not many keepers around who are better that would be happy being an understudy.
Not sure - Dunk went from being in the England U21 squad and being watched by the big teams to absolutely nowhere, via a public court case. If he could recapture his form from last season he is definitely worth a new deal (depending on the result of his retrial), certainly as one of four CBs. Greer and El-Abd are difficult ones...if we go up I think they'll be released but if we stay in the Championship they'll surely be worth new deals, neither will be amongst our highest earners I wouldn't have thought, and with FFP coming in, cheaper 'options' could be key.
If the papers are to be believed, Cardiff are after Bridge if they get promoted. Simple really - we both go up, we could stand a chance as he is settled (although they could no doubt pay more). If we stay in this division he'll be off. Can't see Upson staying but happy to be proved wrong, although anything more than a 1yr rolling deal would be a mistake at this stage of his career IMO.
Would be surprised if he didn't sign permanently either way.
SURELY worth another year or two. Such a great ambassador, true pro, adaptable and versatile, doesn't moan when a backup and reliable when required as first pick. Hope we get him his badges here too, then move him behind the scenes when he retires.
Signed a new deal already. Would offer him another one though if it only runs to 2014. About twenty years should do the trick.
A Gus player, divisive I know, never going to be first pick but not an expensive option and one of the more expansive passers in the squad (Lopez/Vicente aside). If we're promoted he has no chance but if we stay in the division he might be worth a go as a squad player.
Sign him up. Do it now.
Love watching him but sod all chance of him staying.We have a history of sticking by injured players, can see him being allowed to prove his fitness and given a 6-month contract or something.
Can. Of. Worms. As a long-time supporter of him I am growing tired of his petulance, but this is not to say the anti-Barnes brigade are right about his ability (or, in their opinion, lack thereof). If we stay down, IMO he's worth a contract as 3rd choice behind Ulloa/CMS as he is not earning big money. As terms he should be required to attend compulsory anger management seminars on a weekly basis though. If we go up, seeya later.
In conclusion - a huge amount depends on what division we're in.
If we go up we could be looking at a very large turnover of personnel.

Time for them both to move on. We need to find one keeper who can push PIG and rely on the new young lad as 3rd choice.
Dunk
El-Abd
Keep both but not as 1st choices unless we are promoted and then I would just keep Dunk. Dunk has had a poor season but the potential is there and he would be cheap. I would give him 2/3 years and if he can't breakthrough by the end of next season, sell.
Bridge
Upson
I'd take both if we can, providing the wages aren't too high. Great experience if we are in the PL and top players at this level.
Hammond
Yes in the Championship, no if we are PL.
Calderon
Yes on a 1 year deal.
Bridcutt
If we can keep him, we should do whatever it takes...
Dicker
Borderline. Not going to be 1st choice again, but squad players at good wages are hard to find...
Lopez
Disappointed that we haven't already sorted this. Big priority for me.
Vicente
If he wants to yes of course.
Hoskins
Harsh but it's a no from me. Even when he gets fit, is he really going to get into our side?
Barnes
Sign him. Forget the haters, he is relatively cheap, scores goals, can cover a few positions and if it doesn't work out still has a considerable re-sell value. No brainer
Assuming that we don't go up, I think our best XI if possibly a goalscoring midfielder from being a promotion side. Where we have come up short is squad players and legs away from home. I would be looking for good youngsters from PL clubs and emerging players from the lower divisions to try and add to what we have already, which is very very good IMO...

Well he did. I remember reading about it on the official site.

Yes, his contract was extended recently.
I bloody well hope not
If we are to keep strengthening I think we have to look for a new CB pairing. We don't ship goals but that's as much to do with Bridcutt as it is with Greer or El Abd who are both very suspect too often. Dunk may step up?

Bridge - I know I'm being a silly old romantic duffer, but here goes:-
WB has earned oodles of cash, and fingers crossed he hasn't spent it all on sweets.
With that he received very little happiness, and has alluded to depression.
His life at Brighton has improved dramatically, close to London, Gatwick, and his original home.
It's just a shame the pay gap is going to be something stooopid like £50k a week.
Because I'd like to think the club has done more for Wayne than just have him play football.

Lose Dicker, Hoskins & Brez. Try to keep the rest for a bit of depth (assuming they are affordable). Do all we can to keep Vicente, Lopez & get Upson & Bridge in on 1yr deals.
