Bournemouth have extended the loan of Artur Boruc until the end of the season so that would seem to be a fair indication that Allsop will stay at City for the season too.
SP has stated that he knows which loan players will return and who he wants to keep. He also said that some players will be made available for transfer.
Here's who I think is being shown the door:
Clarke (Yeovil swap with Martin)
Pennington (loan expires)
McQuoid (loan expires)
Daniels (Transfer listed)
Miller (Transfer listed)
Tudgay (transfer listed)
Madine will leave so we should keep McQuoid as he can score goals.
I'd also keep Miller but it looks like 'he is surplus to requirements'. Like Cody I expect him to be successful elsewhere and SP to say 'he didn't fit our needs at the time'.
Yes you can never say Baker paid off as most the players we have signed have been poor and he alone has done more for MK Dons stats wise than our entire midfield.
A player that in my eyes has flattered to deceive. Could have been another Beckhamesque player, but has coughed and spluttered. I agree, he should be sold before the summer(Not that the team will benefit with better players being shipped in)
I think you're right, we should try and get a bit of money for him whilst we can. It's another Christie scenario; we now have a player with talent who has no intention of re-signing and as a result we aren't seeing the best of him this season.
SISU yet again shooting themselves in the foot. When will they learn? I dread to think what our team will look like next season. If Jackson has a decent second half of the season he will be another on his way as Pressley has treated him like shit for the past few months.
McQuoid may well end up staying as it doesn't look as if we will be keeping Madine following the latest report in the CT.
Tudgay has been a massive disappointment and should go and we already know Miller is on his way (not sure that's a wise decision). I would love Nouble to stay and in terms of ability it's a no brainer. I fear that SP doesn't have it in him to keep him disciplined. The CT also suggest that it could be a short term deal until the end of the season which is again a load of bollocks. He is head and shoulders above most at this level but he is already being dubbed as a journeyman. I fear we will be gazumped through SISU pissing about yet again, as they will with Madine.
Jackson, Nouble, McQuoid and Tudgay on paper should be a good strikeforce but the reality is that SP isn't getting the best from them.
Keeping Martin is vital, he has quietly gone about his business since his arrival but it's no coincidence that the clean sheets have coincided with him being in the side. Willis, Johnson, Webster (backup), Haynes, Pugh and Phillips should be sufficient in this league.
Kirkland is too good for this level and I don't think we are anywhere near being able to contribute toward his wages with the noises coming from SP, so we may end up keeping Allsop until the end of the season. He's certainly improved of late and I would much rather have him than Burge who has shown absolutely no indication during his appearances that he is or is ever going to be an able number 1 for us. I'm sure that the young lad Cooke will stay at Nuneaton until the Summer.
Midfield is the most worrying area of the pitch. Creatively we struggle, and the goals contributed is appalling once more. The gaps left by Baker and Moussa have not been replaced, and as high as my hopes for Swanson and JOB were, they just haven't delivered. Centre of the park needs to be broken up too; Barton and Finch should never ever play in those two berths together again. We need a hard man to break up the play in addition to a creative player alongside him.
I fear that at the end of January, our already depleted squad will look even weaker. SISU have the ability to destroy us even further and will eventually take us down!
