It's in an SLP article somewhere but all Slade said was that Watt did well at Cardiff, he knows he's recovering from an injury and that hell will be back for pre-season.
I tried again to find the Tony Watt comment from the 30 minutes. I jumped around a bit and got very cross with Murray but could not find the exact words on Watt. Many one a bit more diligent/less inclined to their sleep?

Vetokele will go. Shame but I am not fussed. Anything around or above £1m is good business. Cousins likely to go. Shame as I really like him but he is better than League 1. If he sorts his passing out he'll be in the premier league. At least £1m for someone with as much experience, who is young and english (shouldn't matter but it does) Pope - I'd be gutted to lose him as he was cementing that first team place. I believe he doesn't want to go but the fact is - He'll move on to probably £15k-£20k a week in the Premier league. When you consider he was playing practically 8th tier football 3 years ago he must take this opportunity while he can. 2 years of sitting on the bench will probably sort him out for life. I don't care who you are - you don't pass that sort of opportunity up.
Suspect we'll lose Tex too as I hear his wages are a big number. Only paid £500k I think so anything around there is reasonable. Shame as I really like him and think he had the makings of a cult hero.
Cull wrong word , there will be a number of players leaving mainly because of the wage structure now in operation in league one plus you need to freshen things up it there will be a number coming in , Slade wants a squad around 22/25 with some of the best young players oclouded in that ..... There a few on big wages Vetokele and Gudmunsson alone will most likey save you appox 35k per week ...Cousins as well just selling them 3 should clear the loses from relegation
Highlighted the other wrong words
A bit childish considering Colin is by no means the only person on this forum who makes grammatical errors.

But Colin/Bexley writes like a five year old when he feels like it. It's a part of his wumming.
Have heard that the club want 7 or 8 British based players to come in. Given the players we have already lost and those set to leave. 8 looks to me like leaving us very short. I assume that youth and a top up of a few cheap foreign punts will make up the squad.
All I can say is I hope that we have a very injury free season. What I can see at the moment looks to be totally inadequate.

Look at his posts on ITTV as well.
And I only highlighted the wrong words, as he had called 'Cull' the wrong word.

If we want British players, why let Cousins or Pope go?

Because they can be sold for a profit. We used the Jenkinson money, who was British, to get Stephens, Hollands, Morrison etc in.
We will also sell Vetokele and JBG, who aren't British ...

Let's hope our medical team can learn from their mistakes though I am not filled with confidence after last season.
I hope Ahmed Kashi is kept and looked after in the rough and tumble of league one.

Understand where you are coming from, it appears Pope is happy to stay, but Burnley's money may well talk at the end of the day.
Cousins has given his all for us since he has been here and to be honest is better than L1 and needs progression at this stage of his career. Wouldn't like to see him go, but certainly wouldn't blame him if he does.
I think we will sell most players that we can get money for. So Watt, Vetokele, Cousins, Pope, Henderson, Gudmundsson will all go. Lookman too if we get a big enough offer. Players like Sarr, Tucudean, Bergdich will be shifted out on loan and we will move in seven to eight British players. No inside knowledge, just a hunch.

Seems inevitable we will lose Cousins/Gudmundson/Pope/Lookman. If we can keep hold of Bauer/Tex/Kashi/Watt/Diarra then we have a good base to start from, sadly i would be surprised if any more than a couple of those stay.
Arent stronger home grown rules coming into effect from next season (Dont we need 9 in the matchday squad?)
In that respect it might well be better of financially keeping someone like Pope, we'd get 500k for him but could we get someone to replace him for 500k?

Pope's been here 5 seasons now and still has 2 years on his contract. I thought he ended the season looking much more comfortable playing at that level, if we do sell him it should be a lot more than £500k.

Gudmundsson and Lookman will soon follow.

Now we have a manager and a chief scout but no team.
Loving the new era so far..
