    “My mate just had a chat with Pearce he said that literally Adkins is letting them all go . Pearce has been offered a U 23 roll so I reckon he will be off as well ! Lots of clubs have come in for a Chukks so I reckon he will go to a championship side !!


    This year’s Welling game is set to be the most bewildering yet.

    I actually don't mind this. Chuks is the absolute meta super-sub so not surprised if he got Championship football even with his glass achilles. 

    There isn't a single player I'd be devastated about losing except for Innis & if we don't get Stockley back. There's some players I like i.e. Gilbey, JFC, Matthews etc but again, if they went it's not the end of the world. 

    My only reservations of a complete and utter gutting of the players is not only having them gel, that can be done, but finding 20-25 players of quality better than what we already have. Finding 12 is often a tall ask in a 'rebuild' season, but if we really was to release nearly everybody, that 20-25 might be an ask too far.
    How many times does it have to be said?  You can’t just release players under contract, and if you don’t want them anymore you have to pay up their contract. That costs money for players who can no longer play for you.  I’m not sure Thomas has got where he is today by throwing away money.
    Lol calm yourself, it doesn't have to be said at all considering at no point during my post did I suggest that we start cancelling contracts.

    There's a big difference of cancelling a contract and offering someone the chance to go and find regular football elsewhere. Many of our squad are out of contract anyway and you may find those that aren't but are in the 28-32 range might want to look elsewhere now, rather than wait a year and be out of the shop window before finding a new club.

    On loan at Wigan in the first half of the season (when they were desperate for anyone), and Salford in the second half. I'd be very surprised if that was the level of player we'd be after
    Agent to Wigan: you want my player permanently? Well Oxford and Charlton are interested so make it a good offer.

    When you look at the lists of players being released it looks like it's going to be carnage for players getting deals this season. It looks like most clubs are letting on average 8-10 players go.

    You could say it's good for us in that there's more choice and therefore better options with less opportunity for players to drive the wage up but also lots of clubs needing lots of players and a lot of analysis to do as I don't think all of the players let go would have been expected.

    Could be a very busy summer for lots of clubs all looking for a financial reset.

    It's going to be a very interesting league this year, probably much higher quality than last. 

    Sheffield and Wycombe have strong teams already and will likely spend on one or two. Then you have the likes of Pompy, Ipswich and Charlton who are all fresh off the back of a takeover and new manager rebuild. Then you have those who won't go up via playoffs, all of whom have a strong base to build on. Think our fans need to get used to the fact this wont be easy!

    Wednesday have plenty of out of contract players too.

    Can't see NA letting Innis and DJ go to be honest or Gilbey for that matter. I'm just hoping the release list comes out soon so we can stop that speculation and start proper speculation on who's coming in!

    And Rotherham too if they keep Warne.

    If Sunderland don't go up they now have a billionaire owner and you'd expect big clubs like Wigan (more new owners) and Bolton to be up there. That's why this year it was such an opportunity with only one dominant team.

    Unless we blow teams out of the water with our prep and recruitment then I agree it could be a tough old season with a lot of competition and weekly fan implosions :)

    I don't think anyone is suggesting we are releasing the entire squad, just those out of contract.

    Personally think it would be very harsh on JFC if he is not offered a one year deal at least to allow time to get fit.

    Not too bothered about the others. Chuks would be great but I can't see us giving him more money in the knowledge we are lucky to get half hour a game out of him.

    No-one has said he would. The latest rumour is simply that no contracts are being offered to those whose previous ones expired - and given Pearce has apparently received some training documents and Adkins' prior comments on JFC even that seems dubious.

    Cycled past Ben Amos walking what I presume was his dog in Chislehurst today. Wierdly enough I was joking to myself that it was Jayden Stockley when I saw him from a distance. 

    Didn't stop to have a chat I'm afraid.

    Of course Innis,DJ & Gilbey won't be let go, they're under contract ffs !!  The ones being "let go" at the moment are ones who have come to the end of their contracts & we dont think they are good enough to offer a new one, apart from Aneke. 

    We have some plums on here.

    Heard similar to this... with Jake signing a 1 year deal.  Imo it's a good idea. I think a rebuild could be exactly what the club needs. Believe Chuks is looking to go higher.

    A Hibs mate said they let him go as he can’t tackle and is no way a defender. Good with crossing the ball and with free kicks and technically good.
    He would not want to see him back at Easter Rd. Nuff said.

    Chuk's body won't hold up even as a supersub in the Championship. He's going the Lyle route if that's what he fancies....

    Well if youre not sure it wasn't his dog, what kind of animal could it have been?

    I have no idea who you are @golfaddick, but I take offence at being called a plum. The quote I read above said "Pearce said Adkins was letting them all go" It didn't specify whether in or out of contract! Just because they are in contract doesn't mean he can't put them up for sale does it??
    I find most of your posts negative on most threads you comment on and tend to ignore them but calling or inferring I'm a plum has pissed me off. 
    I read the quote and commented I couldn't see him letting those 3 players go....what's wrong with that?

    calling you a plum was OTT but, and no disrespect meant here, I think most of us took the original post as meaning all those out of contract were being let go, not the whole squad.

    I'd expect this is true, points to the released list being:

    Amos
    Matthews
    Oshilaja
    Pearce
    Pratley
    Shinnie
    JFC
    Aneke

    Bold have already been confirmed as released.

    I'd be very surprised if JFC wasn't given a contract and Adkins was already talking about his treatment as if he'd still be around.

    We know Pearce has signed something as he's already been given his summer training plan so that leaves Amos, Matthews and Aneke.

    Aneke I expect to be offered a contract that he won't sign and there's a strong rumour that Amos wants to leave for a northern club so I wouldn't be surprised if both left.

    Aneke been offered 2 year deal

    I think there's a lot of waiting and seeing to be done. Certainly it's interesting that where Maatsen and Millar have already said farewell, Stockley doesn't seem to (unless he did and I missed it.)

    The striker situation is definitely one that is complex as we don't know what tactics/shape Adkins will go for and even if we did Stockley and Aneke could both go, leaving us with only Washington and Schwartz (who for whatever reason has not featured much under Adkins yet.)

    @LargeAddick that's a fair point I just read it literaly. What pissed me off was my intelligence being questioned when it's a matter of people's interpretation.
    Anyway thanks for your input much appreciated.
