With Inniss, we don't have the medical information that is necessary for the decision. We do have evidence of the past couple of seasons but the prognosis is key.
WIOTOS I'll start rejoicing. I imagine they will hold back on any official announcement until decisions have been made on all OOC players.
And of the course the usual club bashing when players take to social media to announce there departure before the club does an announcement to cover all departures in one go.

We don't need any prognosis, just a bit of common sense.

It's about time the club released each player's blood type so we can decide whether they stay or go
The others staying or going isn't really as important. Those 3 and the 6 loans create quite a lot of gaps that need filling.
Saying that I hope Washington and JFC don't leave because we fannied around and we find out at the last minute (like Amos and Chuks).
Keeping Pearce AND Inniss would be mental.
Keeping, or not, Henderson matters neither way. Doesn't count to the cap so its only wages, that's Thomas's problem, not mine.
I would actually rather keep Purrington and Matthews over some of the players that are under contract, especially now there effective backups have gone.

Henderson isn't needed. He's not good or fit enough to challenge McG and would be blocking the pathway for our younger keepers as well.
The big keeping question is whether AMB is good enough to be a our number one next season

No he isn't needed but it makes no real difference either way if he is here or not? How many times have we used a sub keeper in the last 5 years?
I would rather he wasted his Saturday afternoons and let the younger ones play for the u23s or in the national league when we could call them back over night.
If so, something should have been offered by now. If not, then maybe he's being polite
Sage I believe indicated that he did, and I’m inclined to take note of what he says - however does seem somewhat suspicious if we’ve not even approached him about his contract situation - but maybe that’s just something lost in translation.

We don't decide. The club will based on more information than we have.

His career history tells me all I need to know. Offering him a new deal would be ridiculous. He’s 27 in the summer and never played 30 games in a season.
Has Washington not been approached with a formal offer or has he not ben approached full stop regarding his future? Jackson says there are ongoing discussions so I wonder if there's still pre-offer negotiations with agents or if we've actually been totally radio silent on new deals.
Henderson Matthews Inniss Pearce Purrington JFC Davison Washington
Plus 6 loanees will be going:
Famewo Castillo Lee John Leko Burstow
Also have Kirk who seems likely he’ll be sold or loaned out again.
On replacements TS said 2-5 permanents and 5 or 6 loans to come in. That must be assuming no one under contract is unexpectedly sold.
My guess as to what will happen
Henderson - definitely released
Matthews - 50/50 chances of a FOURTH one year deal
Inniss - 50/50
Pearce - 50/50 player/coach role but the squad number rules count against having a player/coach
Purrington - 50/50 depending on who else stays
JFC - new contract offered
Davison - new contract offered but might choose to leave to get regular football
Washington - new contract offered
Of course the players may choose not to stay themselves, even if offered a new deal
Agree on all of that, but i think we'll offer either Inniss or Pearce a deal, but not both.
Wouldn't be against giving Purrington another year, certainly not as first choice but he can provide cover for both LB and LCB and i think with the new squad limit restrictions, players who can cover more than 1 position will be key.
I can see us keeping more defenders than we’d like because so many are out of contract or on loan.
I’ll be disappointed if Inniss stays as he doesn’t play enough games and when fit can’t play twice a week.
Can see Pearce staying as back up for Lavelle.
I’d like to see Matthews go. Could see DJ as the back up RWB but it could leave us short if we need to switch to a back four, though Clare moving across is an option.
Purrington will probably stay as a versatile squad player.
Davison might step up to L1 in time but he’s never going to get the game time he needs here to develop. Not realistic to loan him out for a year or two at his age when he can get a a good longer term deal elsewhere.
Do we not need a right footed back up for Lavelle? Preferably a taller version.
Is how I see it going, with Purrington, Washington and Forster-Caskey staying and Matthews turning it down and moving on.
Combined with the releases and the loanees going back, would leave us to sign
RWB x 1 CB x 3 CM x 1 AM x 1 ST x 1
And then replace anyone who leaves too like Kirk, though if we're sticking to 352, no point in signing wingers to replace ones leaving.

Lavelle New

Blackett-Taylor Purrington

Is that good enough to go up? Not IMO, you need better options in midfield than we currently have, especially creatively, and I don't particularly want to see Clare, Purrington or Gilbey play a major role next season, not to mention the worst first choice keeper we've had since Weaver in goal

Not when we only use them as the central CB in a back 3.
Ideally we need two left footed CBs to replace Famewo, though I can see Purrington staying and covering there.
I think we should moving Clare up to CM. As good as he has been there has been time where we have cried for an out & out CB. Plus the energy he brings and the way he carries the ball would be a major asset.

Hopefully Henderson, Innis, Pearce and Davisson are added to that list and we don't bring any of the loanees back except maybe Famewo.

Are they using the we don't know who the manager will be one instead?
Surely it's not that a hard question to answer if everything else is stable?
Also get rid of
Morgan
Pearce
Innis
Matthews
Not fussed if I never see Gilbey, Purrington or DJ again, but can accept them being in the squad next season.
Wouldn't be against giving Purrington another year, certainly not as first choice but he can provide cover for both LB and LCB and i think with the new squad limit restrictions, players who can cover more than 1 position will be key.
Could we get better? Probably. Could we get better plus all the other necessary upgrades? Probably not.

Inniss BYE

"Ruthless" Ron Dangerfield swinging the axe already.
Talked to a Maldon & Tiptree mate last night and he described him as "fearless".
