Amen! Other than Small and maybe Dobbo, I would get rid of them all. Hoping Ness goes on loan or gets shipped off like Deji was this season. He is not a LG1 player. I would keep Leaburn , Ramsey and May and possibly REG as well. I was referring to the players out of contract in the summer.

Like the sound of that,Alf is class,but I don't think any CB's would hate to play against him. But if they've had a physical battle and he then comes on as a live wire then great. Only thing I’d say to that is he’s the leagues top scorer this season - it’s the lack of goals from midfield and our shite defence that’s defined our season He was also our only player in double digits. Not only a lack of goals from elsewhere but very little creativity, and no consistent, coherent pattern of play in the opponents half. For a top six budget that's really poor! A reflection of years of turbulence and no real football DNA running through the club.

Can't be relied on again in the same way,and we can't expect just the strikers to weigh in with goals either.

I'm well aware as we all are it's just words at the moment,but we have a genuine opportunity to clear the decks and I'm confident if NJ gets what he wants,we'll be a Vastly different animal come August.

Unconfirmed as yet

Seven of the last eight seasons have been in League One. Every single one with a top six budget but only two top six finishes...both with Bowyer as manager. Oh and both with Steve Gallen involved in scouting and recruitment. As in decent EPL loans towards the end of August. Clear the decks for sure as roughly ten players leave the club later this month. Time will tell who Jones and others bring in, AND whether we have a matchday 18 that can compete per our top six budget. And before we rush to judgement, we should note that it took Portsmouth many years to get their act together. Jones certainly delivered at Luton. But who else was part of that journey, and what did they do to lift the club so quickly?

Dobson aside, the only real disappointment there is that T. Campbell has signed a new deal. Everything else as expected really.
There's obviously a lot of dead wood within those numbers under contract (and they'll be bloody hard to sell), but it is what it is. Maybe we can offload on loan deals and look for a decent proportion of salary coverage.

Think he could develop into a really good player I have to disagree He’s lightweight Bottles challenges He’s nearly 21 - if you couldn’t get in that team last season, one of our worst finishes of all time, what hope has he got of being in a title challenging one and championship next year. I hope I’m wrong , but think he’ll be another Morgan . People will be saying there’s a player in there in 2028

There's potential there, but he has to work to get there. Don't disagree with the lightweight / bottles challenges comment. He needs to work on the mental and physical side of things. Got to win those battles or do enough to cause problems for your opponents. He can be intimidated out of games atm.

Let's see how much the player wants it, and how much Jones can develop him. Not all players flourish at a younger age.

I think Alfie is going to be used as an impact player rather than a starter. I would say it's very likely we will have robust strikers up front. Can't see Alfie being happy with not starting games - especially having got the golden boot playing in our worst side in forever....very interested to see how NJ rebuilds this squad, especially as there are only about 3 half decent names on the team sheet at present!

Pretty sure the only person who allowed "the Dobson situation to arise" was Dobson himself. Yeah there were other bell-ends (eg Scott and Dobbo's agent) in play, but George ain't no child and he signed what he signed. I'm amazed that people still be acting like he's somehow a baby who didn't know what he was doing.

NJ wants a minimum of 8 before the end of June. Could be more and I'd imagine more will be added later on in the window.
Now the problem is where do they all fit with the squad being as big as it already is? Well the answer to that is what we all saw today was a list of players who are still in contract, it wasn't a retained list and there will be several who would have been told in the past couple of days that they do not feature in Nathan's plans going forward and are therefore the club wil listen to offers.
Fees for some of the players moving on are likely to be wavered with the buying clubs paying up the rest of a departing players CAFC contract instead. Some may have already been told they can speak to other clubs as there is no point staying with us if they are not going to get game time.
Others will go out on loan.

I'm amazed that people still be acting like he's somehow a baby who didn't know what he was doing. But he wouldn't have taken the decision if Scott had recognised his worth (which Jones did) and given him an appropriate contract rather than make him an offer that provoked his discontent. If Jones had been in place when Dobson first started negotiating I'm pretty sure that he would still be playing for us. So, yes, Scott created the situation.
