Tope Obadeyi On paper that squad should not struggle in League 2. The reality is probably different, which is frustrating. There is pretty much the first team squad there, in theory releasing a few more of our largesse would leave us with a League 2 ish squad with the odd over paid player. So there could conceivably be a smattering of action on the transfer front rather than complete overhaul.

AndrewDodd Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 On paper (or screen!), that's a good squad for L2 - if, and it's a big if, Wellens can get them to the play they were when he took over. But it's all in the crystal ball... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just noticed the statement says ALL players, so maybe some free transfers and mutual agreed releases like Peter Clarke are going to be announced soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteg999 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Duffus has been scoring regularly at Waterford will be worth a punt and maybe his striking counterpart who has put a few away alongside him . Think the rest of the squad would be very competitive in L2 with a full pre season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I assume there might be a youth team player or 2 offered contracts too is as the norm. Edited May 8, 2018 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right, up to 6 by my reckoning. We'd need other clubs to buy them out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLegend Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) How on earth has Benteke been offered a deal? Thought we were making a bit of progress on this front when I saw Omrani had gone. Edited May 8, 2018 by LaticsLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't say that for sure, I would say RW trusted Davies too much after a reported injury where he was far from his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Has there been any announcement on which - if any - youth players have been offered or signed pro deals for next season? It normally happens around the middle or end of April. I appreciate first team worries and an uncertain future may have delayed decisions, but if we're making decisions on first team players' futures surely the youth ins and outs will also have been decided by now? Other than Hamer signing a pro deal I've seen no news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the impression it's not been announced/they hadn't been told yet. Am sure not officially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Well Abdallah wants to develop youth players which suggest a long term approach Lets hope we can find another Hamer and that we can keep him. Being somewhat underwhelmed by the performance of the team and the manager these last two months I'm intrigued to see how Whelsagem can add players of character to turn the corner on the underperformance. Simply put we don't have a goal scorer. I suggest we will see Placide, Clarke, Hamer (rumoured return on loan), Fane, Maouche and Davies find new homes probably with the exception of Fane and Hamer for free. There could even be some contracts paid off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Back line of Hamer Emundson Gerrard Stott would a decent enough start with additions to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
