Too much dead wood...

[mattsmithefc]

Just looking at some of the players somehow still in our squad.

Conor Mcaleny - How is this guy still here? Aged 23 surely his ship has well and truly sailed? A lot of promise for this lad but clearly hasn't worked so why are we keeping hold of him?

Luke Garbutt - 4th choice left back, supposedly. If he's not good enough and isn't going to develop much more, get rid.

Leandro Rodriguez - 23 now. Not been even close to the first team. Another so called youngster which isn't really that young anymore.

Aiden McGeady - Yeah, him.

Frustrates me seeing 22/23 year olds which if good enough would have made it by now. Their taking up a space in a squad which is supposed to be for development, so 18/19 year olds are being held back by a 23 year old, championship standard player.

You've missed out the worst wage thief of the lot there mate - KONE x

I'm more concerned about the likes of kone, niasse, gibson and mcgeady taking up squad places tbh rather than the younger ones.

 

[john jako]

El clevz and Gibbo.

But, these players aren't starting games? Mcaleny, Garbutt etc. for the U21's are.

 

[zzr45]

I was livid when they all played on Saturday.

 

[sageyefc]

Sell cleverly and McCarthy

 

[tnc85]

Still think Garbutt could make it. Maybe Koeman wants to look at him over the coming months. Maybe a transfer in January or next summer if he doesn't impress.

exactly!

nail on head. The latter are playing for the reserves and therefore contributing. Kone mcgeady niasse, gibson are first team players who aren't making the team once the first 11 is settled. Least rodriguez and garbutt can play in the reserve leagues to keep fit and whatnot, the others are not even doing that. Just rotting away on the training ground week after week.

 

[Brendan Janus]

We've a boat load of average footballers !!

 

[local_blue]

I also think Baines' best days are behind him .He Didn't even make a poor England squad in the Euros.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Tom must go

 

[IveGotThe]

Kone.A
Cleverley
McGeady
Gibson
Niasse

 

[MACCA75]

I wouldn't give up on Garbutt. The others plus McGeady, Kone, Niasse, Gibson, and probably Cleverley, all need shunting.

 

[LydiateLee]

Cleverley is alarmingly sub-standard
