Tope Obadeyi is out of contract. Heard from a reliable source he could be the next Pelè.
Lots of players on the pfa website out of contract and decent.
Just seen Rowan Vine on there. He'd do.
No thanks....
Just looked at his Wiki. Yeah... you're right.
I expect Keogh to be sold. in terms of new signings sisu have finished. The only players we may get now will be loans!!!
Brum were promoted with loans a few years ago.

As were Stoke to the premiership.
Clingan, Cranie and platt were offered new deals as has Keogh. Mcpake played 5 games last year and wanted out.
Stoke's loans consisted of proven premier league players and internationals like Diao and Ameobi - in fact they paid £500k loan fee for ameobi and paid all of his wages. Oh and they also spend nearly £5m on players like shawcross (£2m) Leon court (£1.2m), glen whelen (£500k) Danny Pugh(£500k), etc

Dont be silly Torch in thinking that we will get enough loans in. Also was that the year they paid us 3-4 million for Dann and also spent 5 million on Roger Johnson. ( that is called investing in the team ! ).
We have lost from an already depleted squad-
Clingan
Cranie
Bigi
Platt
Mcpake
expect to lose Keogh and Thomas.
Yes we have got three players in but there is a bit of a quality and numbers gulf.
Do you still think we could be promoted?
The initial question raised was regarding the working of loans and 2 illustrations of such strategies have been supplied. Also it's the division up.
The other day I raised the issue of Peterborough and you said ther added 20 players to the squad. The same data source I assume suggested 30 were released. Do you concur and also that 80% of the outgoing fees were not spent on new talent?
No idea - it doesn't say how many players were released, they also didn't lose their best players (Boyd and CMS).
My point was that league one teams actually sign a lot of players and are constantly inproving/revamping their squads - In a way they have a lot more 'spending power' than we have. We signed less players than any other team in the championship and didn't improve our squad at all last year.
How could they stop the contracts expiring? Westwood wanted free agent status. Even if the club had managed to sell him they would have been lambasted for not letting him go on a free as they are now with Keogh. What would you do if someone will not negotiate?
King was a gift for a season purely due to boothroyd.
Gunnarson again was never going to sign his agent was looking for pastures new.
Clingan? When did he last sign a contract extension with an existing club?
