Swello Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 15 minutes ago, Neil86 said: Better the devil you know and all that, FWIW I actually like Long, don't have an issue with him not smiling at all, actually find it weird how 90% of our support lose their minds over it. From my point of view - I couldn't give a toss if he smiles but there are times where he clearly got discouraged early in games and was worse than useless as a result and he can drive me mad with stupid bookings etc - but I still find it hard to want to get rid of him. A large part of me thinks that a player that is more consistent, even if he isn't quite as talented as Long would do us better but I can't quite dismiss the fact that he is a really capable player at our level and if someone could find his cheat codes, we'd have an excellent player on our hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Taking a look at who's out of contract: GK: Fox, Chapman DF: Dunne, Gallagher MF: Campbell, Polworth, Semple, Cornelius, Foley FW: Long, Seedorf, Robinson, Cole Loans: Kelly, Nolan, Magloire, Hastie, Smith, Roberts We already know Gallagher and Campbell are away (though we need to keep Campbell's deal on the table), you'd think Mrs Polworth will have made her views clear and we've made Cole an offer. We're also keen on sorting something out with Kelly be it a loan or whatever. That's 5 of 19 accounted for. Magloire, Hastie, Smith and Roberts are all still contracted to their parent clubs for (at least) another year. If Seedorf's injured would it be a massive surprise if he was offered a Tanner type deal over the summer? Same with Dunne and Fox especially so in Fox's case give Carson's still coming back from injury and Kelly's situation is up in the air. Really that only leaves Semple, Cornelius, Foley, Long and Robinson. You'd imagine Chapman and Nolan are away. We also need to cut about 10 bodies regardless as the current first team numbers are clearly unsustainable. There's not a chance we run with 33 "first team" players (which is how it stands currently) Edited May 24, 2021 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest superward Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Can't complaint much about that list in my opinion. A shame Semple didn't work out. Had quite high hopes for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Kelly and Robert's hopefully “We not only remain in positive discussions with some of our players but also with a number of clubs in relation to one or two players we had on loan, with a view to doing something. But these things take some time." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I assume now MacIver will make the switch to Partick Thistle permanently. Don’t see us getting Kelly back given the goalkeeper situation at QPR but really hoping Carson is back fit for next season and we’re not stuck with Fox as our number 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether Carson's back fit I want another goalkeeper in as a priority. I'm no exactly brimming with confidence about Trev's Weetabix knees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
