Personally I would have offered Haynes same terms and I would have put Stokes on a pay-as-you-play contract. I think these two are definitely good enough for L2.

Stokes has missed nearly a year through injury, this may have had a bearing also think he lacks pace for a 26 year old and thought that Rochdale goal he was left for dead.

Haynes just can't defend, the flashes of decency going forward haven't been quite enough. Camwell seems to have the backing of Robins so we only need one LB.

Happy he's clearing the decks. One or two more I'd of been tempted to keep. But then maybe they said I'm good thanks... I'll be leaving anyway.
I think we've missed a trick in not offering terms to Haynes purely just as if he was to reject the deal we'd be entitled to a compensation fee.

Happy for us to wipe the decks tbh. Would have kept Stokes but that's it.

Fresh start needed.

Nothing on the Offal or anything from the players social media. Just the CET guessing. 1/2 the names any of us could of guessed, the other 1/2 will probably of been plucked out of thin air.

I guess RCC is under contract him or Burge would be back up to the experienced first choice keeper Robins is bound to bring in.

Even worse RCC could become our No1.

Pretty happy with the news oversll. I know I haven't always been in the majority (and I'm probably still not for the second one), but I really rate Bigi and Ruben. I'm pleased he's keeping them both.

My only disappointment is Stokes, who I think is a steady and solid full back and an even better centre back. I'm guessing his injury plagued season hasn't helped.

I hope Reid finds another club as that will be a significant amount of (wasted) wages back in the kitty.

Bring on the summer recruitment drive!

Shame about stokes always rated him.. Haynes is a strange one offer him the same terms and let wolves come in again. Didn't we reject 250-500k for him in January ?
Hope robins got some decent targets lined up

Keeping bigi and Thomas will be a massive bonus for me

Of the players who are still under contract beyond this summer, winger Kyel Reid is believed to have been told he’s free to find another club despite having a year left on his current deal.
Click to expand...

So that's a squad of:

RCC
DKE, Willis, Turnbull, Harries
Bigi, Stevenson
Thomas, Jones, Lamerias
Beavon, Thomas

I expect bids for three or four of them. Decent base to build on though. Need a GK, RB, CB, LB, DM, AM and maybe a striker at least.

I was disappointed with some of the names, but then at the same time this was the worst season I've seen in my entire life so they can all be thrown into the river in a big sack for what I've had to witness.

Not unhappy with that but can we please, please, please add TWO goalscorers to the squad.
We need a 20, a 15 and a 10 goal contributor to have any chance of a successful season. George Thomas could be one of them, if he stays, but we need TWO good uns.

Is he tho.... will he accept the deal offered or when offered. I'd imagine his agent will want a "good" deal for him and likely highest earner. Will Thomas, Lameries, DKE accept too??

Not that fussed really about the ones listed to go.

I am baffled by the Burge is the best goalie in L1 comments on social media though!

Think Haynes could come back to haunt us. Don't we lose out on any compo if we don't offer him a deal aswell?

Would have kept stokes

Not happy with lamerias getting another go.

No we should be happy! Would be delighted even more though if Bigi was added to the list.

Bigi is going to need a bit of a brute alongside him to do all of the dirty work.

Just need to see if Turnbull wants to go now, my guess is that he will want to.

Pretty much a clean slate for Robins to work with, hopefully Tommy Widdrington has been busy.

Not if he has physcial players alongside him. May afford him some space abd time on ball perhaps.

Robins obviously sees something in Lameiras that he likes. Let's see how it goes. Don't think he's been that bad lately but do find him massively frustrating.

How many players will we be looking to recruit for next season after releasing so many today?
