You can always tell how strong your squad is when..........

[Heineken Matt]

..........you get relegated and there is no real interest in any of the senior squad members from other teams.

I think Gareth Mcauley is the only player who has moved on, I have seen no links in the press to other players leaving despite our demise.

That probably tells you how good our players really are. I am sure we would like to get some of them off the wage bill, but the fact is they ain't good enough to attract any decent transfer fees.

 

[Biffa Bacon]

I'd wait a week or so before making a statement about no one moving on, things may change quite quickly.

 

[homer]

Very early days, yet

There has been lots of talk about interest in Stearman and Mattock - plus a few rumours about Clemence, Oakley and Howard

Wouldn't surprise me if we received genuine bids for all of the above, plus Hume, over the next few weeks

 

[Spanky Fox]

Come end of Auguest when the higher earners are not moved on the championship teams will pick them up, i can see Oakly and howard leaving along with Chambers in Transfer deadline deals

 

[Chuck T Masala]

The end of the transfer window tends to ve very busy.

I think you are right in the sense that we have few remaining 'hot properties' - but I also think that Bifa Bacon has a good point. There may well be managers who in a more leisured approach will pick off some of our players to fill squad places etc in the next few weeks. I'm sure quite a number of players' agents will be working to line their pockets with a few transfers.

I would have thought Hume, Mattock and Stearman are all sellable at the right price.

 

[Papasmurf]

I honestly can't think of a single player in the squad I wouldn't sell if a reasonable offer comes in.

What about the rest of you?

 

[Dour]

They're obviously all available but I'd like to at least see Gradel play before he's sold.

 

[FIF]

But isn't that the same anywhere?

Look at Manure. Even Ronaldo is gone at thr right price.

Personally I wouldn't sell a single one of them

Despite their pitiful efforts last year I think that, given the right management, they are more than capable as a group of getting us promoted out of League One

If we sell them, I shudder to think who this nutcase will bring in as their replacements - and then we may be consigned to this level of football for some considerable time

Better the devil you know, in this instance

 

[alex]

Well, we know that Clem and Hume won't leave, they told us so.

That's a really good point.

 

[Papasmurf]

He's supposed to be a bit of a prospect isn't he???? Was he out on loan last season?

I'd like to see more of King & Ashley Chambers too.

 

[homer]

That's a really good point.

There are exceptions of course - namely DJ Campbell, Bruno N'Gotty, Barry Hayles and Stephen Clemence - all of whom I would happily let go for twenty pence each and a packet of Scampi Fries

I am afraid, that there lies your downfall, you always push a deal that one stage too far!

There's a brum fan at work who refuses to beleive Dudley is shite.

 

[homer]

Then he's a completely deluded idiot

 

[fosseman]

I see NP is saying he wants the players to start with a clean slate. That's his credibility down the pan then!!!!!!

Err......

Not really, just means he's going to give them a chance to prove themselves before he f**ks them off.
