Summer Transfer Rumours - Deadline Day p446

Clare is one that will split opinions which really confirms we need to aim higher.

For some him getting another deal confirms our lack of ambition and small budget, for others releasing him will do the same.

I disagree. Signing him as a squad player isn't a bad move. He can play 3 positions and is a very good option to have on the bench. Him being a sub makes the squad stronger, I do agree that we need better in the starting 11.

We need a wholesale clear out and in my opinion a turnaround of maybe ten players  but realistically we’ll see something less and on that basis I’m happy for Clare to remain as a squad utility player. If he’s first eleven next season then we’ve not really understood the need to do something about our appalling defensive record this season. He was as big a culprit as anyone. 

Keep Clare all day long been our most consistent player over the whole season ..

I think it partly depends who else is available and how Holden sees Egbo.

I’m not completely against him staying as a squad player, but if we sign Sess or another first choice RB we don’t need Clare too with Egbo also under contract.

After being a regular for two seasons I’m not convinced he’d be happy to stay as cover.

I don’t see him as a genuine option at CB or CM. He can do a job there but I wouldn’t want him getting a run of games in either position as soon as we get an injury.

May is someone we’re looking at and who is keen to come as he is wants to be back this way coming from Dartford, but I suppose it depends on what we’re offering compared to Wrexham. 

i'd be surprised if many sides in league one can match Wrexham for wages.

Clare is the classic "can do a job" type of player, which all squads need, but not too many of.

Classic odd job man aka bodge it man/cowboy.

Hector would be my first bit of business if I was in charge. Hopefully he doesn’t drag out a decision for too long but he does have previous (hence why he was a free agent for so long).

I could see him getting a deal at QPR.

Surely Holden must have been impressed by him. He is the only player who I seen who gave Hector the runaround.

I think a striker is definitely needed regardless of what happens with Leaburn , I'd be looking at loaning out Kanu to League 2 to get some experience and obviously it's hard to know what the Aneke situation will be. 

No, it's not.  Guaranteed to be injured for more than 50% of the remainder of his contract.

Would be tempted to see if there's a way to pay his deal up and just move on. 

What is the actual point in paying him off? 

Freeing up a space under the squad cap.

We aren’t near the limit though and are unlikely to be.

Plus paying Aneke off would probably cost at least £500k which would be a massive waste of money that could be spent on the team. We’re stuck with Aneke so we’ve just got to keep trying to get him fit and using him when he is
