2019 Sell, Release, Keep or Try to sign: Defenders

[singe]

All caveats with other posts.

Most contracts are ending in 2019, so a new contact might be on reduced terms, or better terms to keep the answer is simply whether they are worthy of keeping.

Now we know hat division we are in lets do the annual see who we would keep.

A few assumptions.

1) AL has no significiant funds.

2)  Loanees like Daniel Iversen we are unlikely to be able to afford, and probably wouldn't re-sign for us, but the sign or release is based on performance not likelihood.  Can I  ask you not to put let return to parent club just because you think we can't afford them, that is a given. This poll is to address performanace for us, not likelihood of signing.

3) I've left Youths out, as most we won't have seen enough to make a judgment and we'd likely all vote to keep to see how they develop.

4) Limit of 10 options, so I've grouped slightly oddly to mninmise number of posts.

Edit

5) Assume we can only afford a broadly similar player (and the chance you take in that) rather than asssume we  can get a miles better player.

All the best.

Right again except for George who I can't see us keeping hold of with the likes of Sunderland, Stoke and Preston all very interested

We’re gonna need to sell to pay bills - but I’d prefer it if we didn’t sell both. I’ve opted to sell Edmundson to keep Hamer.

 

@BP1960, what influences you to sell them both?

Would like us to sign more players on contracts with loan players as additions to the squad. Roll on next season

Who’s offering Andy Taylor a new contract?

Yes Ashton United and they sent him back (allegedly).

So what you appear to be saying is you are one of the many on here who haven't seen him play (including me) and your response doesn't really answer my question.

Thank you for your efforts...FFS!!!

I haven't, but I was told by someone who has seen him play quite a lot that he wouldn't even catch for Royton Town. Happy to reserve judgement for the moment...

So if you look at the overall voting results on the 3 threads we pretty much all seem to be saying we’re basically happy with the regular starting 11 with the exception of COG and a bit of Rob Hunt!!!

 

So we’re apparently happy with all the other muppets who got us relegated last season and have totally fucked up this season?!!

 

...excellent!

Whose fault is last season's relegation and this season's mid-table finish? Purely that starting 11? Come off it

But saying to keep doesn’t mean you want them to be a regular in the starting line-up.

Is this an example of squadrophobia.

 

If you look at our starting 11 I would happily keep the majority of them at the club. A couple of quality signings and this group is a top 7 side easily.

 

It amazes me how absolute some  people have to be about things on this message board.

Happy to take on board your comment apart from the "quite a lot" as I'm under the impression he played twice for Ashton but no other competitive games unless there was a couple of "behind closed doors" matches that may have taken place.

I know.....argumentative git!!!

Based on this point, I'm shocked at the results of Rob Hunt.

I think its a case of we may not get any better players.

Most disappointing signing since Ryan Flynn, was really expecting him to be a consistent 7/10 and in the starting 11 every week

Apologies for digging a bit deeper. I'm adding to Yarddog's comment that your mate is someone at the club but a couple more questions spring to mind:

- Did your mate watch him playing for Ashton United?

- Did Ashton send him back because he was crap/unfit or was he returned because their injuries cleared up?

 

Thanks
