He's done really well and is a top finisher I'm puzzled by critics of Bent. He doesn't do as much as Martin in terms of build up play but he's a top striker. He's not even had great service and still manages to score quite a lot considering. ...considering how many chances he misses, get gone, he's bilge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Start with Will Hughes on the "retain" list. Then there's a dozen good Championship players we can argue should stay or shouldn't, and another dozen who've had their chance and just aren't good enough. It needs a total rebuild in my opinion. I don't care who goes or stays, just start again and build around Will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Baird has been excellent and it's unfair he's even been dropped from RB I'd 100% give him another year. sell: Bryson, Russell, christie, Blackman (not given a chance ) then you have Weimann shackell that would want to go.

We'll be back in 81 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Due to ffp we will probably need to generate some transfer funds. So therefore on current form it would be Ince out for between 10 and 20 million. Also out for me would be Keogh anywhere between 3 to 10 mill. Shackell, Russell, Blackman, Baird and Bent would free up wages and generate a further 4 or 5 mill. This would give us at least 20 million to replace and strenghen for a promotion push next season.

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 So, with Martin back and Bent (apparently) and Nugent, we want to keep Ince. Of the other forwards, I'd keep Russell and Anya, letting weimann Blackman and camara go, but I wouldn't be fussed if we sold any of them, especially if we got an alright fee. Midfield, I think Johnson doesn't really fit, assuming de sart goes back to boro, we've not really that many options, so it depends on who we recruit - its OK to sell bryson, he's declining due to injuries for example, but we'll still need an energetic midfielder to compliment Hughes, its OK to say sell butters, but we still need a technical midfielder to cover Hughes and add control. Defence, yeah, not fussed if shackell leaves, olsson, Baird and Christie to, but only if we recruit better. The key to all this is who we get in, and them being better suited than those who leave. A lot of changes to a different but realistically not much better squad is foreseeable (especially given our last few seasons signings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostedRam Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 im hoping the club can see as much as the fans that we are short of quality in a number of areas and have a bloated squad of average players. Very worried that the management can't see this and we start next season with very much the same squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyram1983 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The biggest problem is who comes in. None of us have any faith in the scouting department. We seem to buy a lot of players that aren't better than we already have. I'd rather not sign anyone because have completely lost faith in the judgment of the staff that sign our players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Apart from hughes, i'm not fussed about any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've spent a lot of money over the past few seasons and bought a lot of players, but other than maybe Ince has anyone really nailed down a place in the starting eleven? Mel has spent millions on players, managers, the academy etc, next he needs to overhaul the scouting dept and give a manager long enough to get rid of the players he doesn't need and bring in players he does. Buying players for players sake combined with chopping and changing managers is getting us in a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Nothing wholesale is needed this summer. We have a core. Attacking wise, we are top heavy, so some have to go there. Still think we are light in midfield. De Sart isn't the answer long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Surely we need to know who is going be in charge and the formation they are going to use? For instance I would not bin off either of Vydra or Anya if a switch to 4-4-2 was a possibility. If we became a team that didn't play out from the back, Shackell would be a regular and maybe we could cash in on Keogh. The only players for me that have shown nothing to make me think they could fit into any system are Camara and Blackman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Bradley Johnson either, whats going on there what with shirtgate and all. Bent and Baird have done well but with their contracts being up and their age maybe time to let go. Also Olsson may be surplus to requirements when Fozzy gets back. And Russells done nothing this season. And Anya couldnt even get on the pitch agaisnt Villa. Mayeb a few fringe players to go too. All in all a massive clear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Hobhead Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I think the clues are there regards who Mac will try and move on. Huge clues. Those who barely get games. Those who he's given the odd chance to recently who haven't impressed. Those unable to get off the bench even when losing. Clues are all there. I think only Ince will be coveted by others, he's been standout this season. Can't see Mac allowing him to go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would sell Bryson. He has had injuries sure but so have others. He is a must keep for me. Sell: Blackman, Johnson, Anya (possibly), Butterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget, Villa who are still not pulling up any trees may still want to sign anything that moves, and we all know that just like any spoilt child, whatever they want, they will inevitably get.
