Next Season (9 Viewers)

[dongonzalos]

Players you would keep and what you would sign.....

I would send both Burge and RCC out on loan with a recall option. I would sign a experienced keeper.
I would have Corey on the bench. However if there was an injury I would recal Burge or RCC.

I would keep DKE as first choice RB
I would sign a no nonense experienced hard man CB
I would play Stokes beside him if we can keep him.
I would have Harries as back up and a loanee
I would keep Haynes if that possible and Stokes as his cover. However I would consider a loanee if he got a long term injury.
I think we will sell Willis.
I think we will sell Stevenson
I would keep Bigi
I would try and get Reilly (unlikely I Know)
I would keep Jones if possible
I would keep Reid if possible
I would keep Beavon if possible
I would let Ruben go.
I would keep both Thomas' if possible
I would sign a powerful striker
A hard man midfielder
A creative midfielder
Another 2 wingers.
I would let Foley Clarke Tudguy Turnball Vlad go

The rest would come from the development teams

What do people like about Reilly I really can't see what others are my own opinion has been that he is stealing stevensons place and doing a poor job of it at the same time

I like him and rate him, though he has had a couple of dodgy games of late.

I would love him here, but can't see him dropping down to League Two.

[Grendel]

So the OP would use a very limited budget and sign Burge on a new deal and send him on loan. Fell asleep after that.

Oh other than re sign a failed left back and also resign stokes as a reserve to said failed left back.

[christonabike]

Come on then Grendel you have a go? Man of many means and worldly experience in all matters.
Over to you ......... Ask the ex if you need to as we don't mind.

We have Beavon anyway. Two year contract. Reid too.

 

[stevefloyd]

Definitely wouldn't have Corey on the bench he makes Burges handling look world class

 

[Grendel]

Over to you ......... Ask the ex if you need to as we don't mind.

What are you on about? Clearly shagging Anne Lucas 24/7 has ruined the brain cell than previously occupied your head.

Your post is senseless gibberish.

 

[weecohawena]

Senseless gibberish. Two negatives make a positive. Therefore you are saying he is right? Even after what he said about your ex? Fair play.

 

[covcity4life]

Would keep

Rcc as backup perhaps
Turnbull as he's under contract and we need 4 cbs in a squad
Stokes
Bigi
Stevenson
Jones
Reid
Beavon
K thomas
G thomas

Rest either get rid or loans we unfortuntley cannot extend for me.

But thats 10 players. Add another 12 newbies and should be a refreshing squad

 

[stevefloyd]

Burge- no
RCC- yes as back up
Haynes- hmmmm maybe loan him out
Stokes- yes
Clarke- yes (just)
Turnbull- no
Willis- would think he may be sold
Harries- yes but loan him out and get him to bulk up
DKE- yes
Bigi- only if he took a wage cut
Stevenson- our alleged prize jewel will probably be sold
Rose- no
Ghadzev- no
Lameiras- no
G Thomas- no
Reid- yes If he keeps performing no if not
Jones- yes
K Thomas- no
Beavon- yes
Tudgay- no no no
Yakubu- titter
Don't make good reading does it that squad, If we can sign 'better' players in any of the positions I would be happy to see any of them go bar none

We need a powerhouse centre half a right attacking defender, a whole new midfield and of course a couple of good strikers...lets hope fisharses budget can withstand that

 

[covcity4life]

Do we have a chance of clarke reilly and rawson etc? I didnt include them as felt unrealistic

 

[Otis]

Only Clarke I would have thought. Would have thought no chance on Rawson or Reilly.

 

[covcity4life]

Clarke be a good cb on league 2 i think. Im sure robins will bring in some big cbs to head the ball away like we are currently.

 

[Otis]

Clarke seems to win pretty much everything in the air.

I would definitely keep him and hope we can secure another Rawson from somewhere. Those two seem to work well together.

So is that a dodge of the enlightenment we were waiting for?
You clearly like to put posters in little boxes so you can label them pro and anti pro Grendel views.
Fair enough true to form you just pick away at comments with little input from your "Business akumen" we no doubt lack.
Keep going son.

 

[covcity4life]

This is true. You seem hell bent on arguing everyday grendell.

Everyone has different opinions. Everyone can disagree but no need to get aggro with people.

We are all city fans. Enjoy the win!

Might keep a couple more g Thomas (not because of today but worth longer). Largely agree with the rest.

 

[covcity4life]

G thomas issue has been killer instinct but i thibk hes improved alot this season. Think he can 15 in league 2

[robbiekeane]

Oh good another carbon copy of the who do we keep thread

 

[stupot07]

Its also important to note, he isn't playing upfront, hes playing on the wing. So when people (not you) judge him on goals then the likes of Reid, Jones, Lamieres, etc havent faired any better.

I'd keep him. He only turned 20 yesterday he has time on his side.

[stupot07]

On another note, I think robins has to decide which one of Burge or RCC he wants to keep, then get an experienced keeper in. After all we'll be in league two, where are Burge and RCC then going to go on loan?

OP has Stokes as first choice center half alongside new signing CH. Stokes to cover Haynes in the event of injury.

 

[Super Graham Withey]

Could be looking at ex Eire centre back Sean St Ledger

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I think people are getting ahead of themselves a little bit.

We've won two games, and most of these players are guilty of contributing to our relegation.

I still think we need a near complete squad clearout.

without doubt. Said the same thing on the way home. One thing that has to stop is chopping and changing keepers.

Jodi jones but not George Thomas?? Really?

 

[stevefloyd]

He's a goal machine

 

[stevefloyd]

George Thomas is a trier but misses too many chances, maybe I have been too harsh but for me no thanks

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Think he's really come on last 4 weeks. All about opinions though

 

[shmmeee]

First XI:

GK
RB CB CB LB
DM DM
AM AM Reid
ST

Second XI/U23s:

RCC
DiKE Turnbull Harries Haynes
Lawton Bigi
DeKE G Thomas Jones
K Thomas

Not strict first team/second team, expect all players to be pushing for first team.

Stokes won't stay, sell Willis, Stevenson, Beavon to fund signings. Release the rest. Sign GK, CB, CB DM, ST all solid pros 25-30. Loan in AM and a full back. Sign promising players at FB, DM, AM.

Fifteen players out (Burge, Stokes, Willis, Foley, Clarke, Stevenson, Rose, Reilly, Rawson, Vernham, Lamerias, Tudgay, Beavon, Folivi, Yakubu), ten players in (GK, RB, CB, CB, LB, DM, DM, AM, AM, ST). Should be doable on our budget.

 

[Grendel]

We've won two games, and most of these players are guilty of contributing to our relegation.

I still think we need a near complete squad clearout.

Correct it's ridiculous to consider offering failed players new deals.

The other factor is who we can get rid of who are contracted. Reid, turnball, Beavon, K Thomas and jones are on deals and the first three likely to be big earners by league two standards.

They will eat into the budget big time so the notion we'd be able to waste money resigning the likes of Bigi Burge and Haynes is nonsense.

I'd offer stokes a deal but any other out of contract player should go. I suspect he will sign Clarke. I'd actively try and move Reid on as we need his wages on more committed players.
