Crusoe Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) McLaughlin, Stott, Osei & Mantack - options taken Wilson, Kettings, Green, Obadeyi & Edmundson - offered new deals Law, Reckord, Croft, Ngoo, Knight & Dunne - released About right, I reckon.

Stevie_J Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Law, Reckord, Croft, Ngoo, Knight and Dunne gone - no real surprises there. Options exercised on McLaughlin, Osei, Stott and Mantack. Contracts offered to Wilson, Kettings, Green, Obadeyi and Edmundson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanlee501 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Surprised about Kettings - not featured much due to Connor's dominance, however looked very, very ropey in the games he played (namely Check-a-trade). Agree with rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) In 100% agreement with all that, as long as Kettings is on £30 a week. Shame about Ngoo but in the end I've concluded what other saw early on was right ... He's not very good.

Horlicks Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Looks about right, would have possibly kept Law as I think he is a decent squad player but would depend on what wages he would want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Pretty much bang on IMO, hope that Wilson and Green renew in particular, I think with Clarke they are a good core of professional characters you want around the club and between them will get the whole team motoring to the same work ethic. Equally Edmundson hopefully will renew as him and Scott are great youth prospects that won't cost the earth and free up monies for our biggest gap in midfield and up top.

Crusoe Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Kettings is probably fine as cheap backup. Two first choice keepers would be excessively expensive. Seems about right, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Pretty happy with this. If if those contracts are signed that's a good nucleus of 16. From there I'd add a goalkeeper, left back/wing back, left sided midfield/forward and striker as first choices. Possibly a centre mid too if budget allows. Plus another couple of strikers and left back as squad players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronoafc Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 What you would expect - only one I was unsure about was Law as like someone else said, decent squad player (but my god not a centre mid!) May be on a fair whack though so yeah - happy with the list Glad about mclaughlin - wasn't sure if we had an option on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Does look about right. Feels harsh on Knight, apparently did very well on loan so what did he have to do? I'd suspected that Osei hadn't done enough after the impact Top made but I dare say he's in as a cheap squad player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I'm surprised we took up the option on Osei bearing in mind he hasn't featured at all since Sheridan returned. Not surprised about Law we have Wilson (I assume he will stay on) Dummigan (the forgotten man) and Mclaughlin who can play RB another one on the books would be an unecessary luxury. Not a sweeping change so we keep good continuity but still allows for atleast 4-5 permanent signings plus a couple of loans to come in. Out of the contracted players I wouldn't be surprised to see Flynn leave as he hasn't featured much since Sheridan took over. I hope abd expect the rest to stay.

dec666 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Am I not right in thinking Osei has been struggling with injuries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 No real surprises. Just hope that one or two of those who already have contracts are told they won't figure much and can look for new clubs if they like. Hoping Wilson & Tope re-joins. Not fussed about any of the rest. Ok, Shez got a tune out of this lot but I'm not having it that some of them won't reform to the same shite we saw for half a season. Apart from the defence, the team has a lot that needs doing to it.

Magister Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Of the 11 now under contract not one signed by Sheridan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Law is the best of the players released but when we have McLaughlin, Dummigan, Wilson, Edmundson and Mantack who can also play at right back or wing back, then he really isn't needed. I would've thought that Osei and Kettings would've also been on the released list, but then again Osei is a young striker who has just made a big step up from non-league and Kettings is a goalkeeper who will almost certainly be back up and won't cost the Earth. I hope the players offered new deals will sign and I doubt any of them will get substantially better offers, so that should help continuity for next season. Stott and Edmundson look like good prospects and have 2 great senior pro's in Clarke and Gerrard to learn from and finally I'm very happy that we've taken the option up on McLaughlin as I'd say he's currently our most saleable asset. Looks like we might (!) be in for a stable and boring summer. Thank god for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thought Charles Dunne showed promise at times, he was too much of a sick note though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Seems a bit daft to be offering contracts when the club is being wound up next week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think that's pretty much how most of us would have had it. Except, maybe, Kettings and Osei are a bit surprising. Can't see either of them being regular starters, though. First first choice keeper, left back/wing back, two strikers, an out and out left winger and central midfielder who can pick a pass and we should be sorted. Should be interesting to see who Shez brings in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
