' Expect a massive clear out this Summer '

Ive heard at least 10 players will go over the coming weeks.

From Tommy Smith to Steve Caulker.

It will be very interesting.

Any guesses ?

10 players..


Smith
Velikonja
Kiss
Cowie
Caulker
Medel
Marshall
Campbell
Jones (hopefully)
Bellamy

lappin
taylor
cowie
smith
jones
medel
caulker
kiss
velikonja
bellamy
brayford(hopefully not)
campbell

It would probably be the majority of the fringe players, however I would not be surprised if it is the likes of:Caulker,Medel,Marshall etc

I think most fans would agree on probably 8/10 of who would go but given oles tinkering with teams this year we will probably be way off the mark

Definite:
Lappin, Smith,

Probable:
Medel, Campbell, Marshall, Caulker

Possible:
Connolly, Hudson, Kim, Mutch, McNaughton

Hopefully:
Bellamy, Jones

Leaves us with 21:

Lewis, Moore
Taylor, John, Turner, Cala, Theophile-Catherine, Fabio (2LB, 2CB, 2RB)
Whittingham, Eikrem, Noone, Gunnarsson, Cowie, Daehli, Ralls, Harris
Berget, Mason, Maynard, Healey, Guerra, Grabban (?)

If all left we would have a fairly competitive Championship squad as a basis but would need a lot of work to make us promotion contenders.

I think we need to keep Marshall and Mutch as a minimum to give the team any spine to build upon. Leaving us with 23 players.

Some investment at the back and in midfield and we may be in with a shout.

We need one. To many players just going through the motions the season just gone. Quite embarrassing at times

I hope noone and Marshall and daehli stay,as for the rest I couldn't care less what happens with them

Can't understand why Bellamy has been given anytime to consider his options because, in my opinion, it should be a decision that is made by the manager.

He only started in 13 games last season and he was subbed in 8 of those games, also had another 9 appearances from the bench with a total of only 1253 minutes on the pitch. Going on 35, on high wages and 13 players had more minutes on the pitch than him last season.

Time to draw a line under this and OGS needs to make the decision for him, unless of course VT still wants his dressing room mole at the club.


Hmmmmmm

Note Cowie in a couple of responses. Personally i hope he stays.

If Jones leaves:

Cowie is the type of player you put on to see a game out , he's certainly not a starter , I wouldn't mind keeping him but wouldn't lose any sleep over him going

My predictions are:

Released - Lappin, Smith, Kiss, Velikonja, Nugent.

Sold - Caulker, Medel, Marshall, Campbell, Jones.

Tommy Smith is a wage thief, beyond me why he's on such high wages yet was not once played under the previous regime in the Premier League

He is an option to have as he can cover many positions. He has great experience and is a model professional.
I wouldnt lose sleep if he went either. But i wouldnt lose sleep if any of them left.

Couldn't agree more.Clear the lot out and start again lets have players who want to play for us and are prepared to roll up their sleeves and fight.If the players passion matches our fans we will be unstoppable.

Somebody read in one of the newspapers today in work that Cowie has been offered a new 1 yr deal...... Any truth???

Well the one big shock I had is that MARK HUDSON wants out, apparently not enjoying it down the club

Not surprised he's not enjoying seeing the club he loves turn into what it is

We'll get good fees for Marshall, Medel, Caulker, and possibly Campbell. Someone might make a good offer for Mutch, in my opinion our best player. We should get a nominal fee for Jones. Loads of squad players to leave as well I think.

Sorry for stating the obvious there, just my opinion of course.

10 players..


Smith
Velikonja

Medel
Marshall
Campbell
Jones (hopefully)
Bellamy

Smith's contract runs out in the summer along with Bellamy, Lappin and Cowie(possibly)contracts, Id be shocked if Marshall leaves. You can add Mason to that list, Connolly & Taylor I think will also go, Jones will stay.

Tommy Smith is a wage thief, beyond me why he's on such high wages yet was not once played under the previous regime in the Premier League

Not his fault. He was given a 2 year deal when he joined. He contributed to our promotion season. Not chosen in premier league. If it was me in his situation and I had signed a contract I'd expect it honoured.

I hope we keep Mason for next season!

At a guess, Id say he wants to leave and move up north

Not his fault but his pally pally mate the ex manager who was handing out high wages for his old buddies

Well the one big shock I had is that MARK HUDSON wants out, apparently not enjoying it down the club

Doesn't bother me. Get a new CB in who knows the British game. Great bloke overall but not one of those captains that has real balls, seems too much of a gentleman. I'm not saying I don't appreciate the guy as he's been a loyal servant over the years for the club but we need a man that is there to lift us up through the slumps. Can rejuvenate the dressing room, someone who Ole can trust as well. We don't have a genuine captain in our team right now

Don't forget that players such as Jones are under contract and won't just go away if they're on big money and no-one wants them (which is highly likely in Jones' case)

There's quite a few players who will fall into this category unfortunately - the saleable assets such as Marshall, Caller and Campbell are not the problem

The club he loves
