LJ said on late kick off that he had 18 players out of contract. This would seem to include those where we have an option. He also hinted at trying to keep some of those out of contract as a nucleus of players for the 2013 squad.

Out of contract, but believed to have options for another year:

 

Belezika - keep if low cost (not seen enough yet, but seemed decent cover)

Brown (keep)

Cisak (let go)

Taylor (keep - good record in the stiffs I believe)

 

Out of contract:

 

Bouzanis - keep

Byrne - not fussed

Croft - keep

Hughes - ?

Jacob - ?

Mellor - keep

Millar - keep

Murray - let go

Mvoto - keep

Simpson - not sure, depends on deal he wants.

Smith - keep

Tarkowski - let go, not convinced by this lad

Winchester - keep

Unless Tarky wants a silly wage then surely he is worth keeping to see how he develops? Unless you want to pay another Branston esc journey man who doesn't care about the club to come in.

Answer to the first question - No. I think that speed and agility and natural abilities that don't develop that much. I think he has the footballing ability / potential, but I think he just isn't physically strong enough, and never will be.

 

Second question? Don't think that the former leads to the latter. We other young defenders (Belezika) that I would use instead.

only at Oldham would so many fans want to get rid of the best young defender we've brought through in a long time. He can only get better, get behind him to become as good as he can be.

'best young defender' is an opinion. I wouldn't want to get rid of our 'best young defender', I just don't think he is that. Think he will hang round another couple of years and not make it.

Really? You'd start Belezika ahead of Tarky?

Phew. Thank godness LJ is our manager eh?

I wouldn't mind starting with Tarky and Belezika if big Jon goes, I can't for the life of me see how people whinge at Tarky, he's a great young player who will develop, very mature for his age, talks well on the pitch, possible captain if he stays long enough with us.
