I see all the players had a meeting with the gaffer yesterday and some have been offered contracts others have been told they can leave.
We have allowed Caldwell, Ibanez, Gomis and Fahey to leave and have offered contracts to Robison, Spector, Elliot, Doyle and Asante.
Any players that you disagree with being let go or offering contracts to?
Personally I would not have given one to Doyle, he has been here 11 years now and has proven he is not good enough. I know we would have had no keepers but it would have been something we would need to work on over the summer and bring in two keepers that could compete with each other.
I would have kept Fahey but I can see why the club has let him go and I would imagine that he would not been seen on these shores again with his family problems.
Let me know your thoughts?
Who is in and who is out

Yeah I hadn't really thought about Ambrose and if I am honest I had written him off but my brother said the same to me the other day and it does make you think. In the past he has been a very good player n this league, so why not again?

Exactly. Think he needs to play in that role behind the striker because he's too slow to play out wide and too attack minded to play in a 2 man central midfield. I think that's where the new Scottish player Shinnie will play so maybe they'll battle it out for that position.
It will be interesting to see if we can get Ravel Morrison back on loan too.
Should make for an interesting summer...

I would love it if we could get Morrison back on loan as Clark would now play him the full season and if he can find his shooting boots we will have a player on our hands.
I have never seen that Shinnie play, so I cannot comment on him. Hopefully he comes in and does well. I have heard he can play in midfield too, can anyone confirm this?
I think it will be an interesting summer with ins and outs. Hopefully we can keep Davies but going to be garder said than done!

Shinnie can play in a few positions, in midfield, out wide or off the striker. He's scored a fair few goals (yes i know its in the Scottish league) so hopefully he can do that again next season.
It would be a bonus if we can get Ferguson back on loan again. Anything but playing Elliott on the left!!!

Hopefully we have a good young attacking team with pace and energy. The defence is clearly an issue because currently we have Davies and I wouldn't put money on him still been at the club come august. Rav and ferguson back on loan would be great signings a striker 2 centre backs 2 full backs and a keeper...... Quite summer as usual

bcfc83 ,thanks , but i cant believe that some of our players except zigic are are on £50000 a week. kro.

I thought the same when I read it but don't forget it has been translated from Chinese, so it could be that the players we have let go have a combined wage of £50k a week!
