At the risk of sounding like Mikefleet....

[The Truth]

Expect an announcement tomorrow about the retained list, and expect a few surprises on the (large) no longer required list. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Mikefleet told him...!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Funny number 8

[Stu M]

I seem to recall The Truth being fairly accurate with his rumours in the past.

 

Although Oliver Bierhoff wasn't one of his, was it...? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I thank you... seriously, I wait with baited breath as to the long awaited news/list from Liam..! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[mikefleet]

erm

i knew it was coming out this week. i only tell the truth and i get it from people down at the club as well.

 

some surprise are in store i think, whos staying and whos going

[Harry J Allstars]

Yeah I beleive it was "The Truth" that told us Andy left and he has been correct with rumours in the past. However their is nothing to be gained out of coming on here reveling it to us. I'd much rather here it from the club before I believe anything.

[Fleetbabe]

I know we've said this before, but who'd gonna be on the retained list, and who's gonna be shipped out?

[mikefleet]

gleds and pinno possible McCarthy? leaving and a few others but cant remember.

[Fleetbabe]

Why would McCarthy be leaving?

 

I think Siggy might go, and possibly Manny. Also think we should lose Lovell.

[Number 8]

I can't wait to find out... I'm almost as excited as when Gills were relegated..!! Let's open a book on who we think will stay or go.. I'll start.

 

Stay: Jay, Steve Mac, Andy Drury, Bunce, McArthy, Sigere, Proths, Ports

 

Go: All the others...!

 

Bit harsh, but we gotta think of self preservation..

[mikefleet]

mannys going to stay he cant wait to go fulltime again after a few years out.

siggy will stay number 8 we only just signed him really and i am sure he knew what the clubs plans were when they offered him the contract.

[Fleetbabe]

Stay: Macca, Jay, Jukebox, Pullen, Proths, McCarthy, Skins, Jacko, Roy, Surey, Ports?

 

Go: Deane, Lovell, Wilko, Pinno, Siggy, Manny, Moussa, Bunce.

 

Don't Know: Groombridge, Moore, Ports

[Number 8]

Sorry I missed Skins from my retain list. Mike, I put Siggy on my retain list also...

Fleetbabe, you missed Gleds, but I'm guessing you knew he would go anyway..?!?

[Fleetbabe]

Yeah, I meant to put him on my don't know list!

[mikefleet]

o ya i see it. sorry about that number 8.

[Slartibartfast]

I would be surprised if both Pullen and Wilko are retained, not an easy choice but I would just about prefer Pullen.

Protheroe and Skins should both be kept, I think we need to totally rethink the center backs as that is the area that caused most concern.

Midfield is our strongest area and Drury, Saunders, Macca and Lovell should be retained.

Forwards are our other big problem, Manny should be kept, I would keep Roy but I don't think Liam will.

I don't know what stage Groombridge and Moore are in their pase training but I would certainly keep both of them at least for another year.

For everyone else, thanks for your hard work but if we are to move forward we need to sign players that are good enough to consign the players mentioned above to the bench and then to next years non-retained list.

One last point, if Jacko is on the not required list, and I suspect he might be, he should get the biggest testimonial/send-off the club has ever had.

[Number 8]

Good list Slarti...!! Jacko testimonial, good idea...!

Lot of rebuilding in the summer, let's hope the manager get it right. We're at the crossroads
