Looking at the great post from OAFCmetty in squad summer 21 quted below

I thinks its McGahey, , Couto, Vaughan and Da Silva

 

Who would you want? on current form Pidge, Sutton, Junior,Adams, Missilou, DKD?

 

Rodgers..

 

I'd imagine if the embargo isn't cleared most of the players we'd want to resign would be getting offered more than £800

There are also some who would want to re-sign who are not worth paying £800 a week and others who I wouldn't pay in washers.

I agree.. I'd take a chance on fondop once he's back fit, I'd also wanna resign Stobbs and Clarke if possible

Not sure about Stobbs, I think I'd have to check the trade descriptions act about him, Whelan and others who describe themselves as football players.

Let’s enjoy this while we still can …

He's been our player of the season by a long shot this season, but it absolutely breaks my heart that a 17 second clip of a centre half heading a ball will end up on our end of season highlights reel...

Clarke absolutely, top defender if stays fit. Fondop no way, journeyman who Hartlepool released and Luamba is already a better prospect. And stobbs, I’d pay for him to be released. No where near good enough. Mcgahey, Adams, pidge, Rodgers, hart, Clarke, missilou, Vaughan, couto should all be retained whatever division for me.

Why so? The art of defending is an important part of football skills. And that clip would grace any team’s highlights reel 👍

Retained makes it sound like it's our decision

I would rather a highlights reel of entertaining football and plenty of goals. But well done to Carl for heading the ball a lot this season. He should win POTS by an absolute landslide...

Whelan is still only 23yo and lots of scope to develop.

There's many still in Premiership  and Championship under 23s teams who would make no impact in this division.

You will see a far better player in a couple of years time so we should retain him IMO.

He is lightweight but with an experienced solid midfielder alongside should continue his development, albeit slowly.,

Our back four and Rogers under Shez have been decent. Our problem is the midfield doesn't protect them and no one holds the ball up front. 

 

We'll be back to square one if these owners are in charge of recruitment in the summer. No one will want to stay. No one will want to come.

You are having a laugh right??

 

Nothing personal against the lad but at 23 he should make more correct decisions than wrong ones and he doesn't.

 

Clearly he doesn't have the speed of thought to make the correct decisions, and his lack of physicality will also not help his cause.

 

Released from United, Port Vale and Watford without being a matchday league squad before we recued him. Sorry but they, and about 90% of Latics fans cant be wrong!

So Jamie Vardy and David Eyres should have stayed in non league at 25yo? Obviously many thought they would never improve by your reckoning.

Yep, 100%. He is so weak. I would happily take another ten years of the Lemsagam brothers over one more season of CW playing in the Oldham midfield...
