Sorry but disappointed that we've offered Inniss a new deal, certainly after his behaviour at Wimbledon with his fitness issues.
Having him around must be good for the others in training, having him on the field gives us so much presence. He's a winner, a colossus. Plus, he does invaluable community work. Don't write him off. He'll be on the bench mostly next season I think, but we will need someone like him
Ryan Inniss, Josh Davison and Nathan Harness have also had one-year extensions triggered.
Meanwhile, George Dobson, Corey Blackett-Taylor and Ashley Maynard-Brewer are set to enter the final year of their contracts and the club have an option to extend each of those contracts by a year at the end of the 2022/23 season.
Gallen added: “We have a group of players in place and our focus this summer is adding further quality to the squad.”
Jason Pearce has been offered a contract coaching in the club’s academy, while the club are in ongoing negotiations with the representatives of Ben Purrington about a potential new playing contract.
presumably they want someone better to play with stockley/aneke
CW could play winger, but again I’d imagine they’ll be looking at more out and out players to fill that position
Don’t agree with keeping Inniss. The fact that his community work gets mentioned so often shows his availability doesn’t justify a new contract.
I can still see Davison going, as with Fosu we might be hoping to get a small compensation fee for him.
Great to know Dobson as well as CBT and AMBA has an optional year which we can activate.
Commented on Washington on his thread - signs that we’ll move back to 4-3-3 / 4-2-3-1?
All I would say is I hope TS and Gallen have got a large number of quality replacements lined up because this squad is now paper thin.
2 seasons here, 11 league goals in each
36 (11)
35 (11)
Equates to roughly 1 in 3. I'd have at least offered him a one-year deal, ideally two. Why not?
Happy with JFC and Davison, yes even Davison I think the loan did him the world of good and he’s still young.
Innis surprised at, injury record is atrocious.
Mathews, not that fussed, he didn’t look interested most of the season.
Washington is the most surprising, he offers a reasonable amount of goals and would of been a good squad player but as I say, we asked for drastic changes and this is what it looks like.
I would of been more dissatisfied had we kept most of them and just added in small doses, now it’s clear we will sign many players.
So the new manger/coach is going to have little or no say over the squad.
Have to say I am worried about keeping Innis. We now have a player upfront, and in defence who are known to be break down easily, and are unable to offer consistent 90 minutes cover if needed.
Throw in JFC and his recent injury issues, and I do fear we are falling down the same rabbit hole.
Hopefully it’s a sign that we plan to get strength in depth.
new manager may come in and still get rid of a good few more i reckon
