Contracts expiring 2016..

[MD 1989]

I could see most gone by the end of next summers transfer window

Maybe Barry and osman the ones left I think hibbert will retire

 

[Huyton Layne]

Did Gibson really manage 14 appearances last season? More than I thought

Yup. Less that half were starts and he managed less than 700 minutes.

It always astonishes me how the morons think we can get through a whole season with 18 or so players. Yeah let's get rid of them all!

I asked for the purpose of realising that there will definately need to be a lot of transfers in and out next summer..

I think Oviedo only has a year left on his contract as well? As said elsewhere Howard and McGeady both have longer deals.

The OP is inaccurate, who arsed now though, 12 months is long time in football

Howard - 42 appearances last season
Hibbert - 9.
Osman - 28
Gibson - 14
Pienaar - 11
McGeady - 24
Kone - 16

They'd all need like for like replacements.

Don't confuse "appearances" with "significant number of minutes played".

For example, Howard played 90 minutes practically every time he appeared. Osman, McGeady and Kone did not. Also worthy of note is the fact that practically every player on that list can only play one position.

To replace all seven players on that list would require only five players: one keeper, one right back (who might actually be Browning), one attacking central midfielder slash #10, one winger slash #10 and one striker.

We realise that. That's why I was asking...

I thought Gibson signed an extension earlier this summer.

Barry has one more year after this
Howard has two

 

[Furey1878]

Am I right thinking its..

Howard
Hibbert
Osman
Gibson
Pienaar
Mcgeady
Kone

Pretty significant loss if all released. Any worthy of keeping?

• Think Howard's got a few more years left on his
• Hibbert will be let go
• Osman will perhaps get a 1 year extension
• Gibson will be let go
• Pienaar may get a 1 year extension
• McGeady may get 1-3 year extension
• Kone will be let go

pmsl. Just read that was "Hibbert and McGeady"

Nearly spat my herbal tea everywhere.

 

[Garrick]

Yup. Less that half were starts and he managed less than 700 minutes.

I really hope he's able to stay healthy and turn it around this year. He looked real sharp in a lot of his appearances.

I'm also holding out hope that McGeady will turn into something, still feel like he could be a good impact sub.
