He's been excellent the last couple of months if the season moles better than Grigg
i'd like to see him with a pre-season under him
Who are the massive earners in the club and when are their contracts up. Catts and Oviedo?

Hank loves the Boro ladsWykethis is a whoosh I’m guessing
Loovens checks in1 year deal. Everyone else who signed with the exception of power and Grigg got 2 year deals so their contracts will be all up 06/20. Power and Grigg both signed up till 2021 (Grigg might be 22 can't remember now)
Ruiter, Stryjek, James, Matthews all out of contract. Wouldn't try to keep any of the loans. Try to get shot of Love and Loovens in defence as well as Oviedo due to wage and Kone.
Midfield needs shaking up- I'd be inclined to keep Leadbitter and Power but slightly reluctantly get rid of McGeouch if we can due to injuries and Catts just because of wages.
Probably won't manage to clear them all out though. Need a goalkeeper, right back, left back, two centre halves, two midfielders, a striker and possibly a winger if we do get shot of the above though. Busy summer.
Fair enough, has been solid enough to be fair.Reece James got another year. Was a mistake when it was announced as a 1 year deal according to Donald afew month back
Yeah I don't understand it either, maybe Loovens/agent insisted on 2 years in order to sign. Wish we hadn't bothered.Reece James got another year. Was a mistake when it was announced as a 1 year deal according to Donald afew month back
I'm actually baffled by this. They did so much to save money then give a 2 year to a 36 year old
If I had a choice, I’d shift the following players for a variety of reasons:
Matthews
Love
Oviedo
Cattermole
Power
Grigg
I think all of them can do a decent enough job. The problem is that they can’t really play together. Get a genuine tip class centre half and any of the others would be able to do the job alongside. Besides I believe that sorting out midfield will do a lot to help the centre halves too.You'd keep all the CB's?
Most folk on here didn’t think we had one to start withChrist we don’t have a defence left!
Aye this, rest are shite.McLaughlin and McGeady (wages permitting) are the only 2 who I'd be disappointed to see the back of
Think I'd keep the Turk personally.Season over so onto the next. Need to build a side that can win games & that can step up into the higher league. If we had went up this year, looking at the current personnel, we would struggle.
For me I'd get rid of the players that I wouldn't have even as squad players in the championship so
Flanagan
Baldwin
Ozturk
Loovens (out of contract anyways)
Matthews (out of contract anyways)
Honeyman
Also wouldn't resign Sterling, Morgan or Dunne on loan
Would be fine if we had players who could pass the ball to within a couple of yards of him and a midfield that bothered to get their arses round him when he’s trying to win the ball.Can you imagine playing a full season with Wyke up front, I mean nice lad and a tryer but fuck me, Wyke up front all season?
Wyke needs to be either gone or down the pecking order, much down.
I'd keep McLaughlin, McGeady if possible, Oviedo but he'll probably go, O'nien, Leadbitter, McGeough, Gooch and doubt we have much choice with Wyke or Grigg, anyone else can go for me.

What a state we are in. Could honestly be like this for years.You have to expect that Oviedo and McGeedy will both get better offers in the summer, and will likely move on. Also, the club will probably want Catt's off the wage bill and will come to some deal on that one.
So that's 3 players that need replacing on top of everyone who was here on loan.
Its already a huge rebuilding task before we start looking to move on players that we're not convinced about. Yet again, looking at 10+ players coming in over the summer.
3 left backs, and 3 right backs and we still played a central midfielder at right back for most of the season3 left backs & don love at right back.
So aye I'd get rid of Love too. Forgot he was here
