our retained list

[bixieupnorth]

my initial idea was that we could have this thread for all news and then a seperate one for each player as and when they get offered a contract or terminated, so we can discuss each players merits on their own thread
(see post no 3)

it seemed a good idea at the time, but unfortunately the masses have posted willy nilly as usual

shall i quit? its my days off and i wanted to make things easy to follow!

[royalgull]

I don't really care either way to be honest

[bixieupnorth]

what, if i quit??!!

[chippygull]

Don't quit .. and keep it all on here!

[royalgull]

If you post it 100 times or quit. Do what you want. i don't really know why i brought it up in the first place, boredom probably.

McPhee transfer listed too

I assume that completes the players st martin wants to release, I'd now be very surprised if tai is sent packing?

looks like its just a matter of waiting for contracts to be signed, to see who comes in for any of the squad, and to watch his transfer market dealings?

[royalgull]

We should be looking to loan out Leadbitter and Halpin obviously Tai is to be decided. Then obviously Ellis is the only other thing to sort.

I think if hes shipping out LRT, Macklin and Mcphee then i cant see Tai staying. In my eyes he hasnt done enough, he scored what was it 6 goals which for a striker thats not great. If we have Howe and Jarvis i reckon he will look for 1 or 2 new guys and give them a chance.

But who knows, will be intresting to see what Ling has in mind. We got an exciting summer ahead and i hope Easton signs up to as ive always rated him as a player. If Eunan goes then a middle three of Damon, Mansell and Easton is still good for a league 2 side. Plus anyone else we would bring in and the Nathan Craig and Morris can also go in there. I would be happy with that.

Agree.

I must admit having seen Leadbitter in the ressies a few times this season, he looks a lot better going forward than he does defensively and I have my doubts he will make it at League level.

As for Halpin,for all his promise, he now needs to go out somewhere and play regular football for a few months at least. Surely a loan deal to Truro City would suit all parties concerned - a lot closer to "home" for him too.

At least both players have youth on their side though and could still develop into fine footballers.

[bixieupnorth]

to give tai some credit he did extremely well over Xmas, we won most of the games where he deputised for rene and towards the end of the season he was apparently carrying an injury and suffering from the effects of some heavy duty painkillers! also he's probably not best suited to the one up front, so I'd be prepared once again to leave st martin to decide what's best for us!

I'm prepared to let him off of the serious misjudgement not to go 442 for the playoffs!

[Dave]

I think if the club were going to put an offer in to Craig easton it would have been done by now, if it was cast in stone that O'Kane is going Lingy will know that, and I don't think he is going to keep player's hanging to whether we lose Eunan or not.

How about a midfield three of lathrope/Mansell/Stanley..hmmmm nice.

[tufcbrett]

I think something with Easton is sorted, because he has been with us on that long tiral for awhile. I hope he does sign anyway.

Hi Brett, how goes it ? Yes you may be right, however a very easy straight forward annoucment for the club to make if that was the case, yet they have not, that has me thinking.

[tufcbrett]

Yeah i agree as Jarvis has been anounced. Last i heard there was an offer on the table. So i guess were either waiting to here back or something.
I just feel for someone to be on trial for that long, something must be on table or has been. I guess we will wait and see.
