Seems to me that the club must be confident of signing some decent players seeing who they have let go and with these that they are now happy to let go.
Just out of curiosity... If your partner wanted you and her to go for a night out together when a game of Football is on.
Hands up how many would actually have the balls to tell them to feck off I'm watching t'Football
My wife and I are going for a night out on Saturday. Nice Shephard Neame pub in Bromley, early meal in pub with friends (couples) and then both stay in pub to watch final.
I am impressed with the confidence the club are showing but not totally convinced it's not misplaced yet. The defence is already pretty threadbare and only going to get moreso if we do lose Bikey and Wiggins as well. Regardless of their last season, those are two defenders with experience and proven quality at this level, you can't replace that on a shoestring budget...
I would be happy if we had Fox and Wiggins fighting for the left back berth. I wouldn't want to lose Wiggins unless we have a top left back lined up to replace him! Surely Bikey is a decent option on the bench too! When I am puzzled I become worried.

I think there has been a very fair judgement on our defenders, if we are going to do anything next season, we need to replace and improve.
Johnson, although brave was exceptionally slow and cost us a few goals Ben Haim, next to Gomez probably our best defender, but he doesn't have age on his side and it was well versed that he wanted to return home. Bikey, after a good start faded very badly and looked disinterested towards the end. Wiggins, loved him when he first came, but hasn't pushed on and is very injury prone.
Piggot and Harriet, league one at best.
If we can pick up fees and free up the wages for the 4 that have been told to look for another club, great for the pot.
It's early days yet, but I'm sure replacements are in the pipeline, have faith!
Wiggins - can only assume due to his injuries, he is a couple of classes above Fox and I really rate him. Sure he was not at his best last season but, when fit, IMO he is an upper Championship player and I loved watching his attacking forays when Powell was in charge who really got the best out of him. We will have to spend to get better.
It's a long time since Wiggins impressed with his forays down the wing sadly
Only really last season IMO and Peeters clearly had told both full backs not to, then he barely played under Luzon.
I think it highlights the scale of the squad makeover now required. TBH, Bikey, Johnson gone and Gomez very likely to be gone too imho. Wiggins going as well means we need three centre backs, a right back to cover Solly's injury and a left back to replace Wiggy. That's five before addressing Buyens, Bulot and possibly JBG added to the two strikers that are needed. That's ten coming in all of whom will need to be first team capable and not just squad fillers. That's quite some rebuilding.
At his best I think Wiggins is Premiership class. Apart from his attacking prowess, he would go game after game against decent wingers without letting a cross go over.

Translation says De Pauw has to chose between Charlton or Guingamp
