RETAINED LiST

This is the time for who stays and who goes,

GK Heaton,:- Too god for the bench, but not good enough for our 1st team. Time to move on
Marshall,:- We need a more assuring keeper for 1st team, with more class. Stay.

Defenders Taylor :-Championship level, not good enough for prem, bench warmer. Stay.
Macnoughton:- Needs to improve his distribution 100% could become prem player. Stay
Turner:- Gone backwards since he first came hear, distribution not as good as it was, got bullied by cole last night,
needs to use his weight and strength, could be prem player. Stay.
Hudson:- Not consistent enough, time to move on, and buy areal quality centre back. Move on
Gerrard:- Get rid.
Quinn:- Get rid.
Keenan:- Get rid.
Midfield:- Lawrence:- Not worth 19 Grand a week, end loan and let him go back home.
Conway:- Championship level only,bench warmer, Stay.
Cowrie:- Championship level only, bench warmer, Stay.
Gunnardson:- needs to improve a lot in everything, distribution, tackling, and other player awareness, Stay.
Mcphail:- Sadly I feel he may retiire at the end of this season.
Whittingham:- abundance of talent, but must be more consistent, otherwise the fans will tire of him, and that could
Get to him, Stay.
Rolls, Harries, Kiss, too early to say, Stay
Mason:- the brightest light of the season, could go on to become a very good player, and in the prem, Stay.
Gestede:- A bit of an enigma, I don't know what to make of him, injury prone, just been given a contract so now we
Wait and see, Stay.
Millar:- too good a player, has proved himself at higer levels, I am sure he will come good, I'd take a chance for one
More year, but we need some up front to hold the ball up for him, like Snodgrass, Stay.
Taino:- get rid.

Then we need to invest in quality not frees or cheapies!.

At least 9 players are def leaving.

Firstly, spelling was atrocious

But I really dont agree with half of that.
Marshall has been great this year and we have not dropped many points because of him.
Turner and Hudson have both been excellent this season.
Miller is not too good a player, he hasn't shown us much in the last 3 months.

Cantonjack I apologise for my spelling bur not for my views, if you want to be the best then you must have the best, and we haven't.

earnie?

I think Hudson has had an excellent season, we will need another CB though.

To leave
Heaton - sadly.
Gerrard
Quinn
Keinan
Naylor
Earnshaw
Parkin

Other than Heaton the others simply not good enough if we want to move forward and will all be on decent wages.
I think Taiwo and Wildig are out of contract and will move on.

Blake may be another one if a decent cash offer comes in.

blake?

Cantonjack I apologise for my spelling bur not for my views, if you want to be the best then you must have the best, and we haven't.

The only problem is we can't afford Messi
I think Taylor is a quality LB and far from a "Bench warmer" and Conway is better than a bench warmer as well, if he stayed fit he will be a class player and Hudson is much improved this season and I think he will only get better and he only just signed a 2 year deal so i doubt he'll leave anyway and Marshall is a quality keeper as well as Heaton and both could make it in our first squad imo.

The obvious suspects to leave are; Quinn, Naylor, Taiwo, Keinan, Parkin, & Gerrard.
Possibles departures, Earnshaw, Heaton [or Marshall], McNaughton, Blake.
Agree with McPhail [on health grounds] & L Lawrence [simply not good enough].
Could see a couple of players loaned out aswell, Ralls & Gestede.
Will also be interesting to see if Whittingham is here next season. Also Hudson [new contract]????

I'd keep as a bench player but I'm not sure MM is keen on his life style and habits.

Who the Hell are Cowrie, Macnoughton, Keenan, Gunnardson, Rolls, Harries, Taino and Miller?

If we have these people on the roster list why the hell haven't we been playing them?

I also think one season is too soon to judge a lot of the new players given the factors around a new manager and club Mason, Cowie, Gunnarson and Turner will have better seasons next year.

Darcy should have kicked on in training after the outstanding England performance and became a serious challenger to partner Turner. But off field lifestyle rumours surfaced, true or not, its not too late for him at centre back his best position. He was excellent in the run in there with Gerrard the season before last and as I say terrific against Rooney. So definitely staying at City for me.

Too many average to good championship players, we need top championship players with Prem credentials. Problem is their clubs want silly prices if selling to a rival club.

Critical summer for MM in the summer transfer market, not giving up hope on it being for a Premier League season!
