Retained/Released/Sold list - guesses

[ATL Recs]

I must be the only one who thought there were questions mark about Anel in the PL. Going forward he was outstanding but defensively I saw plenty to be concerned about in that promotion season.

Not just me then?

“Peck - released”

Thats either a squad update or a newspaper headline in 5 years time

I stopped reading at that point. Yeah, let's release the best player we'll have 'produced' in a generation.... The kids what, 17 and played a couple of PL appearances and looks set for a great career? Fucking morons everywhere...

I think you missed the joke in the post you quoted.
Apologies for being pedantic but he will be 20 in 4 months.

It was the OP who was the source of my mirth!! So apologies for the clumsy use of the quote button...

Making a joke of it is the only way that makes sense!

Not at all pedantic. Thanks for the correction!

Slimane? Personally I'd keep him as I think he's looked alright whenever he's played this season.

I take it you wasn't at the palace away match, when Mr anonymous was dragged off the pitch before half time, it came as a surprise to me because I didn't even know he was playing

 

[ancientblade]

i expect grbic larrouchi slimane and traore all to be released along with lowe norwood and 2 or 3 others i think we need at least 8 new faces to come in

 

[dexter101]

This is a list of what I think will happen, not what should happen....


Grbic - Retain (we won't take ownership of our poor transfer business 4 months ago)
Foderingham - Release
Davies - Retain (because we won't want to buy another keeper)
Amissah - Release (because we have a new younger, young keeper coming through)

Baldock - Release
Bogle - Retain (although I could see us getting an offer in for him...)
Curtis - still within squad

Lowe - Release
Norrington-Davies - Retain

Basham - Release
Robinson - still within squad
Anel - Try and sell but no one comes in with enough money for him
Egan - Retain (one of only "leaders" we have left)
Trusty - still within squad

Hamer - Will get sold towards end of the summer, will get a good fee
Norwood - Release
Brooks - still within squad
Slimane - Retain (possibly loan out)
Arblaster - still within squad (will get offers but will be able to fend these off for one season)
Osborn - Retain
Davies - still within squad
Souza - Try and sell but no one comes in from a club that is big enough for him
Traore - Loan

Brewster - still within squad
McBurnie - release
Osula - Retain
Jebbison - Release (he would have signed by now if he was going to)

 

[loyalblade95]

I thought the same, mainly based on that cameo off the bench v Brentford at home (?) But the fact he's hardly had a kick since, even when we've been struggling for options, suggests he's either shite/not showing enough in training and Wilder simply does not fancy him

Maybe

I’d be very surprised if Adam Davies is retained and I think Anel and Souza will leave.

People are saying players downed tools but it's only natural when you are getting absolutely smashed every week and even the refs and VAR are an utter joke against you. They are still human after all

 

[Chimes]

It's clear with Ahmedhodzic that he hasn't met the expectations many of us set after his brilliant start at the club. Many are quick to blame his attitude, but I wonder to what extent his drop off can be attributed to the illness that he suffered in January 2023.

It looked (at least to me) like he did not fully shake off the physiological effects of the glandular fever throughout the second half of last season. He went from a roving, ultra-attacking, dribbling, box-to-box type player before his illness to a steady but unspectacular, more defensive-minded player after. Why should we expect that, after a short summer break, he should be back to his old self – and ready to play a level higher in the fastest-paced, most physical league in the world? Is it possible that we're seeing a 5% loss in athletic ability in an athlete-heavy league, and blaming it on him being lazy?

I was quick to sing the praises of the player he was in those first 10–20 games, but I'm not sure the post-illness Ahmedhodzic would have made quite as much of a splash if he'd arrived like that. Glandular fever can have long-term, and sometimes lifelong effects, so I will be interested to see if he eventually recovers back to 100% and starts to look like the player we all saw when he arrived.

I think it's feasible the squad next year will look like this:
Bogle 1 year option
Robinson 1 year left
RND 1 year extension for low wages
Hamer (unless someone stumps up 15m+)
Arblaster (again unless someone stumps up similar)
Brooks
Osborn new contract
Davies
Brewster
Osula
Jebbo (if he signs)
Supported by those fringe youth players

I can see Grbic, Souza, Traore and Slimane all being sent out on loan as I don't think anyone will want to stump up a transfer fee and we will just want someone to cover their wages and a small loan fee.

Anel should fetch a fee and Archer will be bought back by Villa.

Egan and Mcburnie I think Wilder will want to keep but I think they will leave for fresh starts. The rest all released/back to parent club.

Goal Machine Osula can go not the required standard for championship but will earn a wage from some club hopefully not ours get what we can for him can't wait forever for him to "Come good"runs about a lot just can't Finnish Ironside whose now at Donny was better,and we released him.Jebboson not committed Billy big time get shut even if via tribunal ,Bash (legend) gets paided out by insurance so he's set up nice

 

[The Crab]

Hahaha, you want change too?

Yeah 1.99 please…..

 

[Champagneblade]

I doubt anyone will buy him as he will be free on 1 July.

Didn’t Charlie leave Casualty? When’s their next season commencing?
