Ins and Outs

[TSB]

Now that doesn't seem like a list compiled out of thin air....

All players we've been linked with or have previously played for us except for Harriett (promising) and Federici (quality + Reading broke)

 

[Mutts Nuts]

With the season over it's time to start rebuilding, here are the players from the current first team whose contracts I would extend and those I wouldn't mind selling or not giving new contracts.

Extend;
Kuszczak - unlikely but great if it can be done
Bruno
Calderon
Upson
Lualua
Orlandi
Ward - sign permanently
Lingard - sign permanently

Don't extend;
Rodriguez
Lopez
Ankergren
Hoskins - think he is terrific but rarely fit

Wouldn't mind leaving;
Buckley
Greer
Agustien
Chicksen

Any thoughts?

And get Adam back he`s only 29 ffs

 

[algie]

Very talented player that we didn't see nearly the best of.

7 million

 

[DNB_Seagull]

Sell Orlandi if he doesn't improve and as for Buckley, Greer, Agustien, Chicksen. Keep Buckley (Or sell at right price), sell greer, keep agustien and loan Chicksen (He'll improve with regular football).

 

[Pondicherry]

Swap JFC for Dean Cox.

 

[Mellotron]

7 million

you are aware that United recently turned down £5m for him, yes?

 

[TSB]

Outs:
Oscar Garcia

 

[GT49er]

Players I really want to be still with us next season: P.I.G, Calde, Upson, Ward (if a deal can be done), Stephens, Crofts, Ince, Ulloa, and maybe Bruno.

Time to say goodbye: Spanish Dave, Spanish Rod, Buckley, Orlandi, Andrews, Brez and Casper.

The rest: if we can replace them with better, then let's do it, but not the end of the world if still here.

 

[Billy the Fish]

It all f**ked again now, how does the new manager know who to keep

Back to square one

 

[bluenitsuj]

I just worry that with no manager sorting the contracts out, that we end up with poor players by signing them back on for the new manager to look at. We need to get rid of the Rubbish and let the new manager build straight way.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Out:
Hoskins - think he'll get a deal in League One, deserves to be playing first-team football and not DS
David Rodriguez
Agustien - was set to leave on a mutual consent deal, might be delayed for a while now
Orlandi - can see him getting a new deal at a fellow Championship club
Ankergren - may move in to coaching
David Lopez
Ben Dickenson
Maksimenko - may leave by mutual consent, Latvia's first choice left-back, may go back to his native country
Kuszczak - doesn't want to be here, won't sign a new deal. Will sit on the bench at Sunderland
Courtney Richards

 

[scousefan]

I was told by a Steward on Thursday that Upson is definitely retiring. Said he'd talked to him that afternoon.

Seemed believable at the time...

Wouldn't mind leaving;
Buckley
Greer
Agustien
Chicksen

Any thoughts?

My thoughts are the opinions of someone who wouldn't mind Chicksen leaving really aren't worth paying attention too.

 

[Jesus Gul]

That Toko fella is rumoured to be an IN.

Great! we can do a 'no limits' Kolo Toure-esque chant

 

[Jesus Gul]

Keep:
Kaz
Greer
Upson
Ward
Lingard
Ince
Chicksen
Maksimenko
Kemy
Leo
Orlandi
Stephens
Bruno
Calde
JFC
CMS
Buckley
Dunk

Out:
All keepers
Andrews (in two minds)
Lopez
D-rod
Hoskins

 

[maltaseagull]

Lingard would be great if we had a spare £7million or so, seeing as Utd turned down £5m from Fulham just a couple of months back. Not happening.

Just goes to show how stupid transfer fees have become. He looks pretty ordinary in our squad. How on earth can he be worth that fee?

 

[BrianWade4]

Agree with that list pretty much, except for Chicksen who I think has a lot of potential.

This. Chicksen good

 

[BrianWade4]

This. Lingaard Meh

1.5 m tops

 

[Gazwag]

1.5 m tops

Only if he spends the summer in the gym to lightweight at the moment needs a bit of muscle on him
