    I wonder what percentage of Lifers read the preceeding posts? There are always people repeating the same questions, even though the answers have been given.

    PS Why the hell has Fosu been offered a new contract but not Williams?

    I can’t get my head around Fosu being offered a new contract but not Williams. 

    Why?

    Seems strange to have another keeper when we have AMB (21) and is it Ohadjie who must be 19.  I have a feeling then that Ashley is going to be our back-up for Dillon.
    I have a feeling he won't be.
    No......he'll be the No 1 as Phillips will be sold... ;)

    I understand Millwall have released Ben Amos. Would have him back in a flash.

     By all accounts he had a torrid time last year.

    Williams was on far more than we can afford. We’ve said we’ll have him back at what we can pay if he can’t get what he wants elsewhere.

    Strange season at Millwall, when accident prone Martin got ahead of Amos, as well as Archer.
    Ben Amos was excellent for Cafc and would give good competition to Dillon Phillips.

    Can't he sign a new contract at Palace - and we'll have him on loan for the season.

    See, easy. I should be his agent.

    Ben Amos was only on loan at Millwall, which expired at the end of the season.
     
    But I do believe his Bolton contract is due to expire - so no doubt released from relegated Bolton,
    if that's what you mean?

    All those saying why has Fosu been offeres a deal and not Williams remember 2 things

    We paid very little of Williams wages and unless he was to take a massive pay cut we could not afford him

    With Fosu, if we offer him a deal on the same or better terms and he goes elsewhere we get compansation for him

    Money. No way will Roland pay Williams the money he wants, and he won't be the only one. Promotion means that players cannot be offered new contracts at less than what they are currently earing; you can bet your life that Roly will offer only minimal wage rises - that's why we will lose players this summer. Remember, Roly once said that he didn't care what division we were playing in - he just doesn't 'get' football does he? It's going to be a bumpy ride next season and if he doesn't sell, expect a rise in protests - probably where it hurts, in Belgium.

    Not even into June yet so I'm not worried. LB will sign a new contract next week & SG will be recommending players to him.


    Expect to see a lot of changes within the next 6 weeks.

    Wow. Optimism unheard of since he bought his 2nd Doors album.

    I was surprised  that Fosu was offered a contract, but not Williams, and even more surprised that no-one has commented on it here.

    Apparently it’s because we can get a fee for Fosu if he goes by signing him

    Paulie, I'm afraid you've been whooshed.
    PS Glad you made it to Wembley. I saw you at the end, a few rows down from me.
    I was gonna say hi but you exited whilst I was still celebrating.

    as already discussed .. is the rest new news ?

    Fosu offered a new deal .. perhaps he was injured last season and it was kept very quiet ?

    6 released including Williams, Vetokele  and Parker .. so things are moving .. negotiations for in-comers MUST be underway

    I imagine we'll be looking for loans and out of contract players - should be able to assemble a squad with a fighting chance of staying up.

    Zyro, if he had 100% fitness but as we saw in his short time with us he wasn't match fit despite having a couple of good cameos.

    Whilst maybe not fit, Zyro didn't look like a player willing to give 100% as Bowyer demands.
    He looked a bit lazy to me and I don't think Bowyer would be interested.
    Plus like Curbs & Powell did, I think we'll be looking at lower league players wanting to increase their wages and find a bit of "relative" football success. Not players on their way down or cheap because they are injury prone.
