Liam Roberts

[Shadrack the Red]

Parekh will announce to a whooping, ecstatic audience at the Fans Forum on Monday that we have swooped to reach an understanding in principle with Roberts of a permanent, three year deal from January.

And a nod and a wink to anticipate good news about the players whose contracts or loans run out at the end of this season in summer 2024 according to Transfermarkt---

Williiams
Cole
Kane
Cadden
McCart
Cundy
Dodgson
Woolfe
McAtee
Jalo
Killip
Marsh

(Iseka has another year until summer 2025)

To be fair two of that list are loan playrts & two others are permanent crocks so then the list does not look as bad but I get your point , will the club though ? Doubtful

[POGGYWELL]

To be honest they could clear them all out for me.

Do you not think Jalo is a truly exciting prospect Poggy ?

Yes I certainly do Shads sorry I missed that one.
Let’s give the new director of football a clear canvas.

(I did mention in the pre-amble to the list Shads that these were "players whose contracts or loans run out".)

As you will know it is possible to sign players you have on loan during a transfer window if the parent club agrees and it has happened to us in the past that loan players have been sold by parent clubs to other clubs.

I put out the list because I was surprised how many present first team players are due to end their contracts next June 2024. The clamour has all been to get Cole to extend or sign a new contract but there are others the owners need to sort out.

I agree with your point & we would all like us to sign Roberts on a permanent & extending Jallo , Cadden ,Kane & Williams should be a priority , lets hope the suits down at Grove street get their fingers out but I am not holding my breath .
