i really want to know who made the decision, guess theres no way we will find out?!

 

[Bally8]

Need Esk to keep us calm in times like this as I feel like ranting

 

[LinekersLegs]

Not really LL, most of our squad qualifies as home grown really, no danger we'd need gibson for that

Strange choice to resign him though, the thought of him featuring much at all doesnt fill with optimism - rather see davies play than gibbo

If a lot of moves happen we are under the 8 that fills out a squad, @MoutsGoat did an interesting thread about it

We currently have 12 HG players.
Hibbert, Osman, Gibson are out of contract, Lukaku and Stones are heavily linked away, Barry could look to move on, same with McAleny, which would leave us with only 5 HG players.

I don't know why they bother having an academy.

Homer Gibson rides again.

 

[Nymzee]

I think @KUEFC09U2 is gonna jump off a cliff soon

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

This the start of the big announcements then? Next osman, then hibbo and then the return of Moyes!

I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about the reaction on here once Osman gets that new 3 year contract

Why let him go? He's still decent when fit and hardly plays. Better to keep him here on a reasonably average wage than go out and buy someone who will hardly play to replace him. He is back up cover for injuries, it makes sense in what is already a small squad.

What's the use in a back up player that's always injured?

yes mate

 

[mightymoyes]

only possible reason i can think of is to get a fee from some championship club in august.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

I like him, he's a lot better footballer than some give him credit for but I don't see the point of the contract extension.

 

[Milkman]

Hopefully this will be a necessary dose of reality to those of you dreaming that Messi will be playing for us at our 60,000 seater dockside stadium next year.

 

[NSNO_Phil_1878]

He'll be out tonight now no doubt. Just hope he's not driving home.

 

[Caso01]

Sorry,
Probably already mentioned but this just blocks a path for Davies, Walsh and ledson.

Cyclists beware.

Our squad is massive and full of dross pal
