Players out of contract this summer

[Jeff]

The players below have contracts that end this summer.

So who would you keep - and would it depend on which division we're playing in next season?


First team squad players:

Anthony Knockaert
Paul Konchesky
Dean Hammond
Marcin Wasilewski
Matt Upson
Esteban Cambiasso



Others:

Paul Gallagher
Conrad Logan
Zoumana Bakayogo
Gary Taylor-Fletcher



Development squad players:

James Pearson (currently on loan at Peterborough, but hasn't played a game for them - played a few games in the conference for Wrexham earlier in the season)
Joe Dodoo
Jak McCourt
Marcel Barrington (currently on loan at Conference south team Bishops Stortford - has made a few late appearances from the bench)
Louis Rowley

Esteban.

Konchesky, much as he annoys me, can come back to be a reserve. Wouldn't lose sleep if we let him leave though.

Big Was can stay as long as he wants. Love the fella.

The rest of the senior players can go.

 

[City Fan]

If we stay up, keep Esteban and Was.

If we go down, (try to) keep Esteban, Was, Knockaert, Hammond, Konch

 

[TommyK]

For me i'd keep;
Anthony Knockaert (He's got talent, I would have liked to have seen him more involved this season. I have a feeling his comments at the beginning of the season have meant he's not been involved as much and will be leaving)
Esteban Cambiasso (for obvious reasons)

Leave;
Matt Upson (to injury prone)
Dean Hammond (We can do better, although I still think he could do a very good job for league one side)
Paul Konchesky (We can/have to do better)
Marcin Wasilewski (Sorry Was, we have to aim higher if you want to do anything in this league)

 

[SJN-Fox]

Keep

Anthony Knockaert
Dean Hammond (maybe)
Marcin Wasilewski
Esteban Cambiasso

Let the development squad do whatever it needs to do.

Take the opportunity to send Conrad Logan on his way, he well and truly outstayed his usefulness a long time ago.

......Marcin Wasilewski (Sorry Was, we have to aim higher if you want to do anything in this league)

Are you going to tell him that?

 

[jb5000]

I'd keep Knockaert and Cambiasso, and maybe Wasilewski.

Esteban is so wonderfully talented only a fool wouldn't want him. Knocky has got potential, maybe he could get a bit of game time in the future. Big Was is good but I would hope we can upgrade over the summer (and if we're in the Championship, Moore should get the development time ahead of him). The others are way past their best and could all be replaced with younger players which ever division we're in.

 

[Real Sharapova]

If we are in the Prem, keep Cambiasso and Was ( if we go down, Cambiasso will be off I would have thought, with our heartfelt thanks for his efforts ). I think the world and his brother knows Knocky is off come what may.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

You think Big Was is past his best? Is John Terry useless in the Prem because he is the same age as Big Was?

What is this obsession with 'If they are younger, they must be better.'

Most of our best individual performances this season have come from the 'oldies', experienced, wise, can read the game, know where to position themselves, and anticipate what is going to happen next. Cambiasso being the master.

The only consistent good performances from youngsters has been from Mahrez and Schlupp and occasionally King.

Andy King is 26. At what age will be stop being a youngster?

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Good grief! First time I saw him play he was still in nappies! :icon_lol:

When he catches up, obvs.

300 or so appearances over 8 seasons with 3 years left on a 4 year deal.

Love the bloke. A Leicester great as far as I'm concerned.

Wow, he's been a Leicester player for as long as Muzzy was.

 

[Lako42]

Keep Wasil and my lovely lodger Cambipants, both are more than good enough in whatever league we find ourselves in.

Only the management can ascertain whether Mr Knockypants has the desire or talent to remain, I am less than sure.

Bin the rest and say thanks to Konchesky for his time here.

At that age he is a mere nipper to some of us!

 

[Feriol]

I would sooner keep Hammond than Drinkwater on this seasons performances.

I think we should offer Cambiasso, Was and Hammond new contracts in either division. If we stay up we'll need to strengthen of course but Was and Hammond will be decent squad players IMO

 

[city-faithful]

Completely agree with this.

I'd also be happy if Knockaert decided to stay, he'd be a useful squad player and I would be sad to see him leave.

If Konchesky was willing to take a pay as you play deal or similar then I wouldn't moan if he was retained, though I do feel we should be looking for better than both him and Schlupp at left back. Upson won't cut it for much longer either, so I feel we'd need to be looking to replace him also.

Definitely need a left back as Schlupp terrorises defences as a left wing/wingback.

 

[Miles Away]

I've changed my mind...Konchesky needs to go.
