This has been discussed before and is now confusing as players still under contract are being listed too.

For the record Kelly, Jeff and Jimmy Mac signed extensions last year so are not out of contract this summer.

For me definitely release the deadwood - Sakho, Tekkers and Wickham.

Bats to return to Chelsea.

Keep - one of Clyne or Ward
Keep - Cahill (if he wants it) and not Dann
Keep - Mitchell - PVA wants to go

Possible - Andros, has picked up recently and we have no wing cover

McCarthy - he probably wants to go to Celtic. With his injury record maybe best

Hennessey - probably wants 1st team football and won't get it with us

I believe PVA is looking for 'Pastures new'.

That's my understanding as well. Also, it is significant that Hannam (one of our U23 LBs) has been on the bench for the last two games. As I've said elsewhere, he looks very promising. Only joined us last summer, so he's risen to the top of the U23 pile pretty quick.

Why would we want to keep Henderson when even Butland can't get a game? Surely we can use one of our Academy keepers as a third choice and only replace if a serious injury occurred to Guaita or Butland. Also why keep both Ward and Clyne, since if Ferguson isn't ever going to be fit we should recruit another young RB.

I'm not advocating we strip the squad of its experience but this will be the time to start bringing some younger players on board.

I would only look at keeping Clyde if Ferguson doesn’t make some appearances before the end of the year. Ward is a much better option than Clyde.

We will be better off without Benteke and Sakho. Their play is not sharp enough and they are draining cash.

I quite like PVA, he's a good defensive attacker, but he seems keen for a move and as such, is potentially a liability now.

But, who's this Clyde chap?

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.
