rumoured to be on £2.5k per week so definitely need to get rid if at all possible! still hopeful that we can be shot of him  if its true that his family have moved back to Scotland. Perhaps we could persuade motherwell..........


Scandalous if true. Kudos to his agent.

Surprised and disappointed about Mills and sorry Killip is going, the lad hasn't had much of a chance but I thought he did quite well when called on.

Appreciate he would be a permanent bench warmer again if he'd been kept but then whoever is brought in as No2 keeper will be in the same position so may as well have kept Killip.

Liked the lad tho' as he was a youngster and showed promise. Surely we won't be relying on Warrington again FFS!

Jesus!  Considering we had him on trial and then couldn't agree terms, what was he asking for first time round??

Added to the rumoured £3k a week we were contributing towards Matt's wage, Slade proper screwed us over with his recruitment!

So we weren’t doing it on the cheap then, just spending loads of money on crap players.

Pleased with all of that. Would now like to see a large percentage of the remaining budget spent on a centre back and a striker.

Seems to always be our way recently. Say we have a tight budget but blow it all on a huge squad. Must be plenty of room for a squad with good ability if we don’t have nearly twice the number of players we need.

Plus the young lads adding the cover/ extra numbers and pushing for first team places.

Just as a point to add, there's only Clifton and Wright who can be classed as home-grown - as per the requirement this season to have at least one in the 18-man squad or lose a place on the bench.

I thought the club usually announce if any of the youth team lads have got professional deals at the same time as the retained list, but there could be a couple more added to the squad if not.

No alarms and no surprises as the song goes. I think you need a nucleus of experienced players, like Woolford and Collins, if you are going to bring the age of the squad down. I expect us to be raiding some under 23's squads for signings/season long loans. Think we need at least 1 experienced striker, with some sort of track record behind him. We've seen the bother you can get in if you don't have a regular scorer.

Would like to see us try and get shot of Kelly and Dixon and then try and sign 8-9 new players which would leave us with a squad of 20-21 players. Same budget, just on much better players but 10 fewer of them.

Definitely on the striker front.  We can't go into the season with just Cardwell, Hooper and Rose as our attacking options, Jolley may well see Hooper as a winger anyway.  I would imagine it'll be a relatively experienced striker coming in.
