Squad dead wood

Thu Jan 23, 2014 4:44 pm

Ok so who will be shipping out, for me it's some or all of the following...

Cowie
Brayford
Mason
Smith
Conway
Lappin
Velikonja
Nugent

I also think the clock is ticking on...

Gunner
Odemwingie
Taylor

Agree with your list bar for Mason I honestly think he could make the grade with better footballing players around him

You forgot Hudson, Turner, McNaughton, Whittingham. I can see a rebuild on the cards in the summer if Solskjaer hangs around. The squad we have at the moment can't play his way.

Yes for all apart from Mason and Cowie(he is useful backup and a good pro). Also gunner and Taylor won't be going anywhere IMO.

Nobody will match Offsidewingies wages, I read on here he's on £35k I think :shock:

I think Conway is an excellent player and should be reained.

Oh I left out Hudson.

Don't be sentimental guys, Conway, Mason et al not Premier League players!

Yep he was for periods in the Championship but.... Not many premier league clubs chasing him. If he had more pace...

He is a superb option from the bench, I will keep him to unlock tough opponents.

A lot of money being wasted on players who are not good enough.

Ole will struggle to move some on as well, we do need a clear out tho

We got so much Poundstretcher dead wood Ole needs to invest in an army of arborealists with chainsaws at the ready! However, a handful of useful guys will givw us hope!

The term deadwood is ridiculous.

If we go down you'd love Whittingham, taylo and gunnar etc.

Lets face facts that if we do get relegated, the majority of our team will leave. The that 'deadwood' that helped us up will be all that we have.

We are not Arsenal. We are currently relegation fodder and calling players of the calibre of Gunnarsson who took a shit iceland team on the brink of qualify for the world cup is laughable.

I agree the term is harsh, but players not good enough to play in premiership. Andy Campbell got us promoted...

You're taking the idea of love too far. Ok maybe Gunnarsson! If we go down I still want the dead wood chopped down! ...Tiiimbeeer!
