Jack Grealish deserves to be playing at a much higher level than we can currently provide. He is about the only one of our players I can honestly say that about

HOurihane and Adomah are not the answer to next season. For me, they’ve already shown great limitations. Get rid.

We'd have no outlet if we didn't have Adomah regardless of how poor he has been recently.

Bar his goal v SHA, I don't think Adomah has done much since xmas.

Would be mad to just get rid of both though, are we planning to go into a 50 + game season with just 11 players next season or something?

We will lose our loan players and a few of our better contracted ones so we should get rid of our other contracted players aswell?

Okay, let me rephrase: what drugs does he need to be on to get through the second half of the season?

He carried us first half of the season. 25 league goals between the pair of them this season. Have a lie down

Gollini and Tshibola coming back too for those citing squads, plus Gardner.  More deadwood to shift.

not sure i'd call any of them deadwood. All still young, maybe they just need a manager to develop them.

Christ we have got some shit returning. I still think Jack will stay for another year, i'd not want to lose Chester but I think we'll get offers and of the loans we'll miss Johnstone the most.  The managerial position is the most important decision to be made.

Just how clever was this deal with regards to naming the training ground? Will it be good enough to fund keeping our better players for another year?

At the end of this season all of the following should be out of contract;

Terry, Bunn, Hutton, Samba, Agbonlahor, Sarkic, Watkins, Abdo, Blackett-Taylor, Borg, Prosser, Pastorek, Clarke, Clark, Finnerty, Coates, Knibbs, Cox, Hall, Idem, Johansson, Stretch, Boucher, Bazeley-Graham, Williams, Rowe.

Finnerty has been sold, and Agbonlahor isn't going to be offered a new contract.

If we don't give any of the others a new contract, then the complete player list for next season will start as follows;


GK: Steer,Gollini


Def :Taylor,Chester,Bree, Richards, Elmohamady, De Laet, Elphick, Bedeau, Suliman, McConnachie, Patterson, Revan, Walker.


Mid: Whelan, Lansbury, Grealish, Hourihane, Jedinak, Bjarnason, Adomah,Green, Gardner, O'Hare, Lyden, Doyle-Hayes, Tshibola, Birch, Birch, Brunt, Ige, Ramsey.


Fwds : Hogan, Kodjia, Davis,  McCormack,McKirdy, Hepburn-Murphy, Guy, Hooper, Mooney, Odutayo, Sea, Tait, Bridge, Pressley.


I've heard we will face a transfer embargo, due to failing FFP , so It'll be interesting how many of the above list will play in the first team squad next term.

That's a depressing squad. The defence is a mixture of the unproven, incompetent and incapable
