D-Day for some players Monday

[Charlies Shinpad]

On Monday certain players will find out if they are getting a contract for next season etc.

FDM
Beck
Hammond
Virgo
Jones
Piercy
Blackwell
Lee

There are a couple more but cant remmber who.

Of those, the only two I'd give a miss are Lee and Jones.

 

[Budgie]

Rodger as well

 

[Lush]

What are the chances of getting an injury-free season out of Rodger? I would say slim to none.

Lee and Rodger can both go IMHO.

Why is Monday D-Day? Surely the decision depends on which Division we're playing in next year? I would have thought YES to Virgo, then extend the contracts of everyone else to the end of the season, then decide?

 

[rool]

Blackwell and Rodger are getting on anyway and how are they going to be after their long term injuries. I'd say they are both a bit risky to take on again even for a 1 year contract. Free up the wages for a younger midfielder. Didn't they only sign for us again after waiting to see if something better came up anyway?. I could be wrong but I'd let Coppell sign them for Reading.

Lee can definately go but a little worried that McGhee seems to rate him as a squad player.

Undecided on Jones

 

[MRRF 10]

FDM-keep
Beck-unsure
Hammond-unsure
Virgo-keep
Jones-go
Piercy-keep
Blackwell-go, too injury prone
Lee-why is he here in the first place?

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

FDM - yes
Beck - no
Hammond - yes
Virgo - yes
Jones - no but who have we got to take his place?
Piercy - yes
Blackwell - yes
Lee - no

 

[The Large One]

Contracts aren't up until June 30. They have probably been having ongoing discussions for a while now. Can't see that Monday is make or break day.

 

[Turkey]

FDM - Yes
Beck - Dunno
Hammond - Yes
Virgo - Yes
Jones - Yes
Piercy - Yes
Blackwell - Yes
Lee - No
Rodger - Yes

We need Jones! He might not be the greatest player but he has a bit of flair. People always criticised Brooker but we miss him now. We must not lose Jones.

 

[Gary Nelson]

His left foot also gives some balance to the team

 

[Uncle Buck]

Jone has a new contract as he has played enough games to earn one. I think Kuipers has another year to go.

 

[fatboy]

FDM Is not out of contact
Beck 3 months
Hammond 3 months
Virgo yes
Jones No but he has played enough games
Piercy Yes
Blackwell I think so
Lee No

 

[Soton Seagull]

Is it just me that is concerned that FDM may not get a new contract in the light of the previous managerial comments along the lines:

'We cannot afford to pay the wages of 2 quality goalkeepers'

I hope I am very wrong.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Butters is also out of contract, I think.

 

[SeagullSimon]

According to the Argus the players out of contract are:

Blackwell - Yes
Rodger - No
Butters - Yes
Piercy - Yes
Marney - No
Beck - No
Lee - No
Pitcher - No
Virgo - Yes
Hammond - Yes
Jones - See below

''Nathan Jones is assured of another deal as he has made a required number of appearances.''

 

[Uncle Buck]

Not sure we can justfiy keeping all of Butters, Virgo and Blackwell. Bearing in mind we also have Cullip, El-Abd and Hinshlewood, I think it will be a case of 2 contracts on offer and 3 players looking for them.

 

[Hadlee]

Agreed ! think Blackwell will be the one to go, we have enough cover for central defence. Would keep Rodger for one more year though.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Agreed ! think Blackwell will be the one to go, we have enough cover for central defence. Would keep Rodger for one more year though.

I suspect Rodger will be given a short term deal to prove his fitness. If it does come down to Butters or Blackwell, providing he is fit I would be inclined to go with Blackwell. Butters has done well this season, but Blackwell reads the game better and is on less money.

 

[Locky]

FDM YES!!
Beck Unsure
Hammond Yes
Virgo Yes
Jones Yes (do we have a choice?)
Piercy YES!!
Blackwell Unsure
Lee NO!!

 

[Dave the OAP]

get rid of them all!
