I'm surprised that Reo-Coker has walked out when we don't even know who the manager is. Of the side that made the 2010 Youth Cup Final, I thought Ellis Deeney was the most promising. Surprised he's off... hope he doesn't come back to haunt us.

The manager is mr gerard houllier,and i believe thats how it will be staying.

Not shocked or disapointed with any of the players leaving, all can be replaced by better players.

NRC is no great loss to be honest. He would have wanted a load of cash to stay and really isn't worth the outlay. He done a job for us towards the end of the season but doesn't fit into the mould of the GH type of player (ie he can't pass for toffee).

I cannot see many of the teams above us falling over themselves to sign him. My money's on him going abroad.

NRC was the only one of that lot who played a lot last season, to be followed by both Brads, Warnock, Beye, Ashley and hopefully Ireland, big changes but we needed them. Oh and Walker has gone back to spurs, Bradley mmmmmmmm not sure

that would make 17 out even if dunne and collins stay, so there will be plenty of wages saved and if downing and ash both go we would be looking at 30m plus from their sales alone so id expect to see a lot of players arriving .

Great news, at last someones getting rid of the deadwood,

for all you guys that lament the leaving of NRC lets see what top quality clubs come rushing in for him, my guess is none
someone said Spurs, ha , are you having a laugh,

my best guess would be Wolves, certainly no one better than them

theres probably a few more hopefully to add to the list of thanks but no thanks

then we can start bringing in some better quality players

if Houllier is staying then this is a good start to the off season


EDIT -  i know i know, i'm repeating myself here, its my new i phone i'm not very good with it yet

Think we can add Heskey to the list too, hopefully with Weiman recovering from his injury,Fonz needs to push on we need more goals though in case Bent gets injured/goes through a bad patch also impressed with Petrovs fitness under this regime, he can last 90 minutes now i bet my Mrs wished I could, well in fact I wished i could lol

How long has Beye got left on his contract? Hopefully we can get shot of him,can't see there being a long line waiting to sign him though.

Liked Nige but we won't miss him, he's easily replaceable.

as michael bradley's name has not mentioned in this group of ten, does that mean we will take up the option on purchasing player

NRC was ok, nothing special. Good to see some squad place freed up.
