I?ve been saying it for months now that this summer is going to be very busy and interesting for us. At least we do have a coach in very early this time so hopefully he gets right involved in all these contract discussions.
Humprhys - stay if we are going to play him left wing. Leave if we play him as a central striker.
McCarthy - leave.
Pines - leave. Seems like a genuinely nice person but he?s not improved in his time here. If anything, he?s got worse.
Flavell - stay.
Lewis - leave. I?d have liked to have seen more of him but clearly Hourihane disagrees.
Benson - leave. Maybe against the grain here but I really like Benson and feel like if we could just get him fit, he?d be a brilliant player for us. However, I?m not sure that?s likely.
I wouldn?t sign any of the loan players.
I assume there will be bids for DKD, Phillips, Connell and Russell. I?d like to think we won?t sell all 4 though.
We need to sign a number 1 keeper. Preferably not on loan. Some full backs for both sides if we are playing 4 at the back. 2 central strikers. Then replacements for whoever leaves. I would assume Shepherd will return from his loan and be involved. Not sure about the others out on loan but I?m sure we will take a look at them in pre season.
