Moderators Zico Posted May 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2018 Do we really live in a world when 15 players have gone on holiday and are uncontactable. Are they not interested in securing a job next year? If they don’t answer the phone after the 3rd time fuck em off probably not reckon all talks took place in the international break after the villa game anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lofthouse Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Can’t say I’ll lose any sleep over the initial release list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Wasn't surprised by any of those. Initially raised an eyebrow re Mark Howard .... but it's correct. Potting Dervite and Derik hopefully means two quality new central defenders with Beevers and Wheater retained for the squad. We know there's potentially another announcement to come - it'll be interesting to see whether the above two are kept along with Wilbraham, Morais, Pratley and Henry. Other than Beevers they're all the wrong age - but getting rid of the lot would leave us with a lot to do in terms of sheer numbers of replacements required. One year deals maximum for these though.

Sweep Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Is it not that players contracts finish at different times? - some at the end of May and some as the end of June? Thus the information is only released as their contracts expire (even though the players already know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Always thought they were all the same. Otherwise you would just say end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted May 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2018 Wasn't surprised by any of those. Initially raised an eyebrow re Mark Howard .... but it's correct. hoping the release of Howard means 2 things 1) Alnwick is staying 2) Turner is going to be promoted to #2 if neither of those is happening, we need 2 new keepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Perhaps a player coach role being offered to Wilbrahamovic. It's usual for the player we don't want to keep to be announced first then those not on the initial list will be offered contracts etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Pretty sure as contractors you can. Which is what they areIt had nothing to do with their employment status There’s also a difference between what you can and what you should do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eavesy Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 hoping the release of Howard means 2 things 1) Alnwick is staying 2) Turner is going to be promoted to #2 if neither of those is happening, we need 2 new keepers Like to see turner get cup games. And if he can hold his own and we are fortunate to secure safety soonish then a few league games aswell. If he’s getting in England youth he must have something about him.

bwfc87 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Would like to have kept Kirchhoff. See what he's like fit after a full pre season behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See what he's like fit after a full pre season behind him. he's been going 10 years and played 125 games 12 games a season and that's with 10 pre seasons we had 13 games after he signed and he played in 2 not worth bothering with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 24, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2018 He’s never going to be fit again. Appeared so. Iirc correctly he came on against Brum having come back from injury; kicked the ball once and started limping. Could hardly run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWFC_LOVE Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Happy enough to give Wilbraham a deal so long as he doesn’t get much game time. Seems to be a great role model, was supposedly carrying a knock for a lot of the season. Played well against Forest too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Hunt Off Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Pity about Karacan wrong place wrong team etc I know some on here love Pratley but please get shut .Cant see it mind Parky likes him would offer Henry another year though. Think Buckley will come good despite his inability to hit a cows arse with a banjo last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Buckley is from just up the road from me in Chaddy. Know one of his mates very well His hamstrings are dodgy as fuck and he's had other injuries as well. Confidence is shot to pieces as every time he starts to do summat he gets injured Feel for the lad. He loves BWFC apparently but is a worrier that his injury record gets in the way. Unsure about him. Desperately wants to prove himself, loves the club, proper speed merchant when fit, but if lacking confidence and injury-prone I worry that it's money that we haven't got being wasted. If we keep him on hope he has a decent run and shows what he can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
