I wonder if Bruce will come sniffing for a few of the experienced ones

Jedi
Whelan
Elmo

Even on loan if They have no money

Swap them all for Reach?

Is this if it was the end of season now or more it's the end of the season who do we keep?
I mean are we forecasting as if it's the end of season today (or whenever one reads this unless it's actually end of season  )

But if it's actually forecasting that at end of season who do we move on and keep is it not just based on what we have seen thus far ?

It's like if it's end of the world today what would you do?
And then there is if it's actually the end of the world what would you do ?

It's a confusing one but I think I would still not keep Whelan and jedinak for start.
Be it today or season end.

Also season may end in may 26th or Midweek may or just after may day .

I think my point is that are we saying if the season ended and the players out of contract are those players all being kept then no.
Season ends tonight - Whelan and Jedinak good bye.
Same as if it ends in may or actually when it ends as it does end in may

As Yogi Berra said, it's déjà vu all over again. Chronosynclastic Infendebulum if we are to believe Kurt Vonnegut. Good book, The Sirens of Titan. Always liked the name Malachie Constant.

Thinking about Vonnegut in this instance, was not unlikely.

I’d dump those clowns on the doors at the Holte suite. The queues to get in and the gaff is half empty

  Cannot understand that one----admitted the rear room is usually rammed with no empty seats at 1 pm --but the front room is rarely full --and yet the queue is often s shaped?? --and how about the staff??  never the same 2 games running!! must be on a  gain experience course from a local college---and they aint properly trained--some have difficulty using the till!!  the whole operation needs a serious re-think!

I don't understand the appeal.  Why queue to get in when you can have a pint in the ground?

Tommy Elphick   31
Albert Adomah   31
Birkir Bjarnason   30 (31 end of May)
Ritchie de Laet!   30!
Micah Richards!   30! (31 June)
Neil Taylor 29 (30 in Feb)
James Chester   29 (30 in a week or so)

20s
Jonathan Kodjia   29
Lovre Kalinić   28 (29 in April)
Ørjan Nyland   28

I think move on all those in the 30s range for starters.

Those 24 and under- keep

Do what Southgate is doing with England bring in a couple of experience the rest bring in youth or mid 20s

Certainly should be a priority for DS to sign up players with comedy names like Indiana Vassilev, Harvy Knibbs, Charlie McChonnachie and my personal fave......Mungo Bridge
