Originally posted by Pete53 Does Jairo have any ambition? Come August he will have been with us for 6 years. He has rarely started games for us and for periods hasn't even made the bench. I would have thought, as the years quickly pass by, that he would want to be playing football, even if it is not at the top level. I think the question should be, Does the club have any ambition having the likes of Jairo on the books. Woeful player who knows well that he struck lucky to make a living out of something he can’t even do.

Originally posted by berlinpalace There was a kid, Richard Harris, around 2000, who could throw it into the box from almost halfway. Trouble was he couldn’t do much else and after a few throws his arms got tired. Give it a few years and we'll have benches of 30 special teams players like American football. The game will go on for hours while all these throw in experts, corner/penalty/free kick takers, etc, trundle on and off.

Only player I was surprised to see released were a couple of youngsters- junior Dixon was scoring a fair few for the under 18s and was a physically strong player for his age. Freddie Bell also I thought was highly rated.

You can go from being the player of the season to not getting a new contract in an instant. Ultimately the chances are making the prem are so slim

Ultimately the chances are making the prem are so slim There are so many good players out there some don't even make it as far as getting the chance at academy level .Look at our own Eze who was rejected by Arsenal Reading Fulham and Millwall before he got his first pro contract at QPR . Its not the end of the world and Im sure we all wish the lads who didnt get contracts all the best for the future . And we still need a striker
