Isgrove is, maybe, surplus to requirements but don't forget he's 3rd choice because one is here on loan. No-one will offer him a contract till his fitness is proven.
Kachunga, I never quite saw the point of him tbh, but he's reputed to be one of our higher paid players. Who'd take him ?
Sadlier, agreed. Given Evatt’s preferred formation where was he ever going to fit in ? He'd go down as an 'if only' player. He's down ability but only rarely gets a chance.
There's John, too. There's been a fallout in his case. He's tapped up by a Wrexham full of cash & he could come here to find there are more Welsh speakers at Bolton than in Wxm. We'd be the 3rd or 4th club where he's arrived, settled, look good but then be isolated. We must assume he's not easy to manage.
Dixon should go once we find a replacement. Not that keeper identification is an Evatt strength. Trafford won't stop unless we go up & there are no end of capable older pro's who do a very decent job. Obviously end of season is more likely but could you imagine going into play-offs & finding we need our reserve keeper for some reason & it being Dixon ?
We won't piss off Liverpool over Beck but he's miles short of Bradley.
MJ's going nowhere unless a vg offer comes in.
To be fair to Evatt his 2 January windows here have been tremendous but can he do that again ? A loan of a good promising striker could help us with those goals we're shy of. I expected a big, brutal, experienced c/h to join Santos but feel IE will suggest Toal can be that.
I DO fear we may lose Dapo due to lack of games and his obvious strength not fitting the Evatt way. Only for a significant fee mind, & after a replacement striker is found. That could keep him until Summer when it'll be new contract or off.
