One of Carson or Roos will go. neither will be happy on the bench. The question is will Mitchell be happy with that role and does FL think he is good enough.?


Martin will either be sold or loaned out. He simply does not fit F:'s demands of a #9. He is gone IMO.


Thorne being fit is unlikely and I think his contract will get paid off.


Forsyth took best part of a season to get back to form following his previous ACL injury. He will need that much again so may be available for the last 10 games or so of next season. At his age we should part ways IMO.


Davies is another ageing player and it is unlikely he will be more than a bit part player next season, especially if Tomori returns on loan.


Wisdom will not want to play 2nd fiddle again. He might be considered for CD if Tomori doesn't come back


Anya remains an enigma. Is he simply not producing enough in training? Are the rumours that 1 more senior appearance will cost us an arm and a leg true? If either is true then we should let him go.


Johnson has started producing again but is that only because his contract is up? I'd give him another year as cover for Shinnie.


Butterfield - let him go,


Pearce - already gone to Millwall,


Bryson - will remain a fans' favourite and will be better off at Kilmarnock next season IMO.


Elsnick - I'd keep him.


Olsson? Tough one but I'd let go. We still have Malone and Lowe for the role. I have covered Fozzy previously.


Cole - might stay in a coaching role while remaining signed as a player but only to be used in emergency provided he is fit enough.


Blackman - time to go. Never had a chance with us. Out and out striker played out wide...... Better luck elsewhere lad.

Ambrose - thanks for being cover. Not needed any more.

Thomas back from Coventry as well. Lowe covered already. How many more loaness do we have returning that I haven't mentioned?

Talking formations for next season is a waste of time at the moment as we have no idea which players we will still have.

It seems FL is staying. Brilliant. He had a long discussion with MM yesterday on transfer targets for the new season. He won't go to Chelsea just yet. They now go into the next 2 windows under embargo. There is also the little matter of the 42 players they have out on loan coming back.......... CFC is a pisoned chalice IMO despite their EL Final win.
