Greenridge Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 AP is on record of saying we have too many players. Unfortunately not only too many but lacking in quality as well. I'm sure we'll be looking to offload those deemed surplus to requirements asap but quite who would take Pulis is a mystery...Pompey maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccerMom Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 just about to say something similar on the CB thread. Maybe there is an embargo on permanent signings until some of these are cleared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 As someone stated on another thread..Many of these players are not getting match time at any level and therefore a big leap when moving into the first team/ squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummer Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 I'd say one or both of Saga and Rasiak will go. Pulis and Molyneux are a waste of space. And we've got one too many goalkeepers. If he's not getting in the team (and he shouldn't), Lancashire needs to either be sold or go out on loan somewhere to learn how to play football.

The poor guy is doomed .................. He's probably a very nice guy but somehow he doesn't seem cut out to be a footballer ! At the age of 24 we are his 7th club, he has made 10 league starts and (as a modfielder) has scored no goals !! Quite why we signed him on a 2 year contract is weird (I note he has an option for another year and if we were to offer it then, well $£%&^!(**&^$£*&^%).

I've in bold the ones I'd consider to be part of the first team squad, that's 23 of them. Add Kayne McLaggon to that and I'd agree with you. There's a lot of youngsters in there that I just cannot see breaking into the first team squad, especially now we are financially solvent and can sign players to strengthen positions. Keep the ones in bold, and McLaggon, and either let the rest out on loan or frees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 So we have a bloated squad which lacks true quality......surely the tell tale sign of a L**e chairmanship.

sentry Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 I just made a deal with a baggies fan for Saga for 500,000. I have accepted. Just need to let AP know. He wanted Lananna but would only offer 1mil. Not worth it i thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team-saint Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 The squad list is a bit misleading because we've really got about 25 players who are part of the first team squad not all the ones who have numbers. One of Lowe's tactics to cover up the mess last year was to list lots of youth players in the squad so it didn't look like we had no full-backs and the youth team players don't seem to have been demoted.

Clifford Nelson Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 The problem is much larger than most posters seem to realize. We have players who are not nearly good enough for League 1 football. Which are the teams who would like to take them and pay them the salaries we contracted with them when we were in CCC? Think about it. We have Tommy Forecast on a FIVE year contract on CCC money. Who in their right mind will want to pay that? Two more years of Pulis? And so it goes. The sad fact is that it may be useful for the morale and future of the club to actually pay off the contracts to those who haven't got a future here and wish them the best of luck. They are in the way for the change of attitude in the club which is an absolute necessity. Players who are hanging around training knowing full well that they don't stand a chance of a first team start are a bad influence on the youngsters who could eventually make it.

Iowsaintsfan Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 Plenty are available for loan or for sale IMO: Wayne Thomas Marek Saganowski Chris Perry Grzegorz Rasiak Paul Wotton Lee Holmes Tommy Forecast Oliver Lancashire Anthony Pulis Lee Molyneux Michael Poke Jake Thomson Jamie White Oscar Gobern Jack Boyle Ryan Doble Andrej Pernecky Jack Saville Callum McNish Ben Reeves Id keep the ones in BOLD, Perry we need some experience and KD seems happier when he is infront of him, even if hes just a back up, Holmes maybe injured alot but when he is fit could be very useful in a position we have no strength or depth, and Gobern I really like this kid, bags of energy gets stuck in not fear attitude, would like to see more of him not less!

Arizona Posted 20 August, 2009 Share Posted 20 August, 2009 Half that "big squad" is just accademy players who have been given squad numbers. Add to that the fact that Molyneux, Wotton, Lancashire and Pulis arent good enough and we have about 5 keepers in there. Actually we are pretty thin onthe ground in terms of players who CDAJFU. GK - Davis, Bart, Poke Def - Murty, Thomas, Perry, Trotman, Mills, Harding Mid - James, Gillett, Morgan, Hamster, Holmes, Lallana, Melis, Gobern, McLaggon Str - Lambert, Rasiak, Saga, Pato 22 players and we are hardly flooded in any possition.

Totally agree and most of the academy lads won't be taking up much space on the wage bill. McLaggon looked useful in glimpses last season but you won't see him back to full tilt much before XMAS, White needs a loan and couldn't make the first XI at present. Rasiak and Saga will be off. Pulis, Molyneux, Wotton and Lancashire are some kind of sick experiment on our supporters and Forecast sounded on a par with Norwich's Aussie keeper from the Grimsby reports on his debut. Shows the urgent need for another CB, 2 wide players with pace and at least one more striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
