Retained list tomorrow

[Deadbat]

We have an option to sign him and the “Star” says he will sign and may commit to more than one year.
But nothing has been officially announced

Not fussed about Jairo staying. A midfield with him/Peck/Rothwell/Blaster isn't getting us close to contending IMHO. Need mobility/athleticism/presence/power and goals/creativity. None of these 4 offer this so I'd like a brand new pairing personally, admittedly unlikely due to finances.

Which is why it would be nice to hear the retained list as presumably he will be on it if he is staying

Both Rothwell and Jairo are on similar salaries, if it was a choice I know which I would prefer. Unsure if Peck will be offloaded but he only has 2 years left on his contract so if it’s not this season, he will be cheaper next season if he doesn’t sign.

Peck's the only one I'd want to keep from that list. Jairo's a calming influence but neither dynamic nor a game changer, Rothwell plays in very short spurts and we can't carry passengers. I didn't get all the hype with Blaster pre-injury where I thought he was too slow to be top class. If he comes back next season without improving a lot he might be one of our own, but he won't be a very good one.

Me neither,doesn’t impress me at all,ponderous,can’t sprint,hardly a box to box type,plays in a 30 yard circle. There was a reason no one else was interested before us throwing ridiculous money around. I’ve just watched Kovacic in his latter years,now there is a midfield player.

Football is about opinions.
But regarding Jairo. Id be happy for him to stay. Ok He doesn't have pace. But as has been mentioned he is a calming influence. He reads the game well and breaks up play. He passes and holds the ball well.
If he can last 90 minutes I think he'll be an asset.
Just my opinion.

Those with contracts will be staying until we decide to sell them .

Loanees will be sent packing

And whatever is announced will give no indication of what the squad looks like in 2 months time .

Probably a good 3 and a half months before we’re scrambling around for what’s left after everyone else is done.

Should be before then, we’re working off the famed fag packet list knocked up in the banner. Just need to find it first.

More than just you with that opinion to be fair, Jairo is excellent at doing the “unfashionable” things like breaking up play and playing the short balls. Yes every now and then Hamer may come up with a screamer and Jairo will never do any of that. Sometimes you just need players to do the basics well and build a foundation around the spine of a team
