zero just now..........wunder where it will finish.
5 points for a good sale or signing
5 points deducted for a bad sale or signing.

Do the decisions not to offer new contracts to players result in +5?

Yes if they are crap.

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

+5 Taylor
+5 Simmo
+5 Ertl
+5 Beattie

Present total: +20

 

[Kenilworth]

+5 Taylor
+5 Simmo
+5 Ertl
+5 Beattie
Present total: +20

I would say +15 as Simmo was not that bad

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

But performance to wage ratio was poor.

To get him off the wage bill will help us no end. I vote good release.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Can we take it that Monty is not included in this?
+50 points if we get a penny.

Can't foxy design a real life swingometer with him stood in front of it, it would cheer me up anyway..

Pervert.

Too right he is, Linz is hero putting up with the Eric tonne, cat loving so and so......or did you mean me

Dont know what people are expecting this summer.

One thought.

Evans.
Quinn.
Maguire.
Lowton.
McDonald.
Williamson.

Thats more than half the team that accumulated 90 points this year whom are unlikely to be in a blades shirt come August.

Add in the fact that Collins, Doyle, Cresswell and several others have all contributed significantly, and may also find themselves the subject of interest from other clubs and the turnover of players this summer could be dramatic.

Danny has got to bring in some good quality players to replace that lot and wont have a huge amount of money to do so. Add in to that the wage structure that will need to be adhered to, we will be offering contracts at a fraction of that of some of the departing players. Perhaps only 1/3 of some of the higher paid players mentioned above.

Magic Wand anyone !!

We must of signed another goalkeeper that most united fans didn't know about. Why didn't DW play him?

i.e. it's neutral since he did some good stuff and some not so good stuff.
He wasn't a Derrick Richardson, for example

you can take Maguire off that list and probably Lowton too, i dont see them leaving. Maguire's going nowhere at 19 yrs old when hes getting a game every week.

Don't be so sure SdP. The lure of cash and false promises turns many a young head.
I expect both of them to go despite older, wiser heads telling them that they have better prospects of playing every game if they stay where they are and develop with real game time.

 

[gavtheblade]

if theres a flash of cash,mcabe will be on it like a bluebottle on a freshly laid shit.

yeah true, i thought Lowton was younger than 23 as well, he may think the time is now.

im still sure Maguire will stay tho. we should definitely be keeping him and he is definitely good enough for this level, but im afraid he is replaceable and we should surely get some wedge for him.

 

[beightonblade]

Is it swingin ?

 

[Rustyblade]

I can see about 8 out and 3 in.


Minus 55 it is then.
