With a seemingly endless list of out of contract players come the end of the season, what does everyone believe our next moves should be?

Let Mowbray build an almost completely new squad.

Yup, end of thread.

Get Pennington, Samuel and Odelusi on season-long loans next season.

torchomatic · Mar 19, 2015

And Stokes and Nouble. Get a new keeper and add some steel in midfield.

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Mar 19, 2015

Keep - Nouble, Miller, BARTON (obviously), Tudgay, Lawton and Willis

Release - Jackson, Webster, Reda, Pugh

Too early to say - Turgott

Try and sign after loans - Pennington, Samuel, Odelusi, Stokes and Ward

Get rid of some of the high earners, give some of the fringe players a chance to prove themselves in pre-season and let Mowbray bring in his own players, IF he is still here

PlayUpSkyBlues · Mar 19, 2015

Ward would be a sensational season long loan

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Mar 19, 2015

You can't be serious on keeping Miller

torchomatic · Mar 19, 2015

Yeah, forgot about Ward.

keep Miller... Miller? Is that a joke? TM hasn't even used him, which shows how highly rated he is.

The games I've seen him, I've been impressed. The guy isn't being given a fair chance. Theres more to being a striker than scoring goals. Not everything is about a scoring record

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Mar 19, 2015

I suppose this is coming from the person who thought Chris Dunn was a decent goalkeeper...

:facepalm:

Agree

Miller is 27 years old and averages 1 goal every 4.58 games in his CAREER. He should be in his prime

For a striker, thats pretty dogshite

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Mar 19, 2015

Yep, I hold my hands up to that, but i'll never be scared of asking the gaffer to give someone a chance. Once in a while you get a gem like Harry Kane, sometimes you get a donkey like Chris Dunn

stupot07 · Mar 19, 2015

TM needs to be ruthless, we've picked up since his arrival, some of that is getting players to play to their potential and some of that is the honeymoon period, some is them playing for contracts.

I trust TM to make the right choices, doubt we'll get odelusi or samuel on a season long loan, more likely to feature for their clubs next season.

It's fair enough asking for him to be given a chance, but to say they are good or decent players and deserve a new contract when everything point to the contrary seems a bit silly.

I'll admit I haven't seen enough of Miller to form my own opinion on his ability, I'm just going to assume he's crap as Pressley and now Mowbray have overlooked him in and he made no impact when on loan at Crawley either.

Agreed, not given a crack. Looked good when given a go. Too quick to judge on here.

Spot on. If it means him not taking on any of the players out of contract at the end of the season then so be it.

As if we should keep Pugh.

He is never fit. Averages about 15 games a season. We simply cant afford to pay wages to a player like that.

mark82 · Mar 19, 2015

I'd keep Reda but on a lower wage with bonuses for games played. Class when he is fit but that isn't often enough.

As good as he is, I'd let him go. Would have to make him the lowest paid player to make it viable, he won't accept that, his record over the last 6 seasons is terrible.

14/15 - 15 out of 37 league games
13/14 - 20 out of 46 league games
12/13 - 16 out of 46 league games
11/12 - 24 out of 46 league games
10/11 - 33 out of 46 league games
09/10 - 25 out of 46 league games

We've had plenty of crocks in the recent past- mcpake, Deegan, bell, mcnamee. Nothing good has happened by keeping them on.

We should offer Reda a low basic wage, like £500-750 a week and insert high appearance bonuses into it. So if he plays he will get a wage to reflect his value, if he doesn't play he will still have a wage to live on but it won't cripple the club.

If he doesn't want to accept it, he can move on.

Only way with a player like that is a rolling game to game contract. It has been done before with sicknotes.

What about team stability if you have a player in and out of the side all season.

rupert_bear · Mar 20, 2015

I would think Mowbray has his list and probably done a lot of planning already. Our problem is getting Mowbray tied down to be our manager long term, something that's seriously concerns me.
