Talking of centre halves, where's Krystian Pearce these days??

Talking of centre halves, where's Krystian Pearce these days??

Released by Torquay, wages too high and he underperformed.

Shame how he went downhill, he had potential to become a quality player. One of Notts' best centre halves in recent years imo

Carroll signing is amazing! Fantastic news, a real surprise for me.

Roy was the player of the year. Would have been relegated in March if it weren't for him. Apparently Mrs Trew described it as another fantastic season! I think she was talking about the ladies surely? Or did I miss something?

With people telling me that Ricardo doesn't really want any foreign signings, wants homegrown players, who is signing these? I doubt Ricardo knows of any English players who want a gig in a failing L2 club. So what are we relying on now? Pilks, Eddy and Kevan to sign the players? Or even worse, Branston?! My prediction is the Trews are even going to surpass their own ridiculousness in deciding the signings themselves. They can't even sign a manager, ffs!

This is Aileen Tree we're talking about, can you expect any sense?

 

Morning! The players will be having contract meetings throughout the day today.

Obviously the loans of Sean Newton, Leroy Lita, Paddy McCourt, Graham Burke, JCR and Jordan Williams have all expired.

Still under contract: Adams, Hollis, Hayhurst, Wroe, Spencer, Murray, McKenzie, C Thompson, Noble, Daniels, Bishop and Cranston.

We hope to have the latest news on the OS later today after the meetings. Hopefully!

You probably wouldn't want to kick too many of those lot out, apart from maybe Hollis, Hayhurst and Daniels. The latter we know next to nothing about. 

 

I'm sure Ricky will do his homework @Super_Danny_Allsopp, he's been in contact with players already.

 

People tend to forget how young some players are when they join from other clubs. I've heard no end of talk about Hollis not being in his prime yet - well Daniels and Hayhurst are both younger than Hollis and have played much less first team football! They're both under contract anyway and won't be earning much. Maybe they'll be able to contribute more next season after a good pre-season and as part of a settled side.

Agreed. With the addition of Roy in goal, I would hope the meetings today go something along the lines of

"Thanks, but no thanks" to all the rest. After they're done, maybe call Hollis in, Hayhurst and Daniels and say "look. Stay by all means, but you will need to up the game by about...errmmm... 100%. If you can't do it we'll release you now and get it over and done with!"

She's now posting back on 'the other forum'. She must be bordering on insanity to keep repeating the same mistake over and over.

Isn't there an illness to describe this behaviour - Repetition Compulsion or something like that.

Tempest and Speiss have been released. On their Twitter feeds. Dumbuya is gone as well it seems. Meetings are ongoing.

Can't say I'd argue with Tempest/Dumbuya. Speiss looked promising and then we didn't see anything else of him. 

Cieron Keane tweeted that he has been released. Had potential. Only 18. Good luck to him.

in league two some of the released players would have been good enough, its a shame because we still have some who should not wear the shirt again. simply not good enough
