So you want MR to replace all of our strikers?
If we spunk the whole budget on the top end and you dob in a few million yourself, maybe.
Excluding loanees*, it is easier to say who Robins would definitely keep - there are only three (with three other possibles).
Keep: Dabo, Hamer, O'Hare. And even then if the right offer came in...
Possibles Walker (potential) MacFadz (until his legs finally go) Wilson (you need a second string goalie; he's as good as you get for the position)
Thereafter any of the rest are dispensable as not one of them is definitely top half Championship calibre. Sorry you poor deluded fools, Godden, Max, Kelly, Hyam, Rose, JJ, Marosi, Shipley, Allen, are all just not good enough to form the core of a side hoping to be above halfway in the Championship. Peripheral squad players at best.
But you would not get rid of all of them at once, so who leaves maybe kind of random depending on who we are looking to acquire and who has another club interested. The out of contract peripherals like Baka are obvious departures, but who knows who else might move?
There probably needs to be a clear out at the Under 23 level as well as some like Bremang seeem to be long term residents there. They might get into the first team if we were still in League 2, but not the Chamionship. Our singular inability to loan some of them out is a clue.
Time for Robins to be as radical as the budget allows. Some will stay but you will never get far with a side with so many makeweights.
* By my reckoning James, Gyokeres, Sam Mac, Sheaf and Osti
I've said for ages Godden isn't good enough for where we should be aiming. I think at the right price he should be made avialable.Excluding loanees*, it is easier to say who Robins would definitely keep - there are only three (with three other possibles).

I think with finances at best tight and his recent injury record I have my doubts any club will pay money for him.I've said for ages Godden isn't good enough for where we should be aiming. I think at the right price he should be made avialable.
The goal is for the number of players in the first IX to include as few 'makeweights' as possible. This year we were saved by loans - James, Sam and Osti were crucial to the second half.
I said earlier in the season the jury's out on Godden and it still is.
He can't really be judged on such an injury plagued season.

I'd say go and have a look, but you are incapable of reading numbers correctly as shown last time.Does who scored think we should let him go then?

He does actually, and football manager. Stick to cricket young'unI heard Pep uses it to help pick his best team
What about O'Hare pal?From the players we own who played a part this season, I'd only keep Hamer, Dabo, Walker and Eccles. Maybe Wilson as a number 2 but not arsed.
I'd try to get Ostigard and James back on a perm/another loan.

I'd take the first offer for himWhat about O'Hare pal?
Even if it were £100k?I'd take the first offer for him
All we are saying - is give Max a chance............
You're a dreamer
But he's not the only one
If Yoko had been a football player, which position do we think she'd have played?
I think she'd be a number 9, number 9, number 9...
Possibly true. But even with two up front, we were hardly banging them inMaybe playing with nine players was the cause for the lack of goals?
Not good enough. This is football. It needs to be at least 110%Robins will 100% keep biamou for another year
Everything we know is that Robins is one of the least sentimental managers in the business. He has no favourites (except possibly Kelly). His dealing with the goalkeeper situation was very direct. I would be gobsmacked if he believed players like Allen or Max are good enough, but they have to work with what they have. That's the job.Dear oh dear
If Robins and Viveash read some of the stuff on this thread they'd give up and go off to start a window cleaning round
