Can only assume from that list that they'll seriously be listening to offers for Leaburn. 

Otherwise we could well end up with the same attacking line up we ended the season with, which doesn't sit too well

Could  argue Will TC, Leaburn, Kelman all be better with the bedding in season and some better midfielders in behind, they may be completely different players next season 

I think Kelman with a proper pre-season (he’s going out to America to do a pre-pre season) will be our main man next season. If he can get physically stronger and battle centre backs like he did against Hull then Jones will trust him to play more. 10+ goals next season from him I think

Jones has been so ruthless.

Can’t do nothing else there only two players out of contract ..would say he told others who staying and who going on loan and who they want to sell ….. but it’s down to the player if they want to leave ..

I wonder if they will announce anything related to the u21 squad.  If I remember correctly,  I think they were silent about youth releases last year.  Not sure of contract lengths but the likes of Casey, Hobden, bower etc might result in some difficult decisions

The Dorking manager/owner Marc White said he had not seen a better finisher than Pat Casey and him getting injured cost Dorking Wanderers being promoted,  coz no one else replaced his goal threat

Millwall to Charlton transfers don’t happen that often. 

I’d prefer we buy from other clubs as petrol and spring water do not mix…..

1. Alex Mitchell — 2024
2. Adam Cottrell — 2006
3. Jamie Stuart — 2005
4. Alan McLeary — 1993
5. Phil Walker — 1979
6. Eamon Dunphy — 1973

Adam Cottrell? and 2006?

Jamie Stuart was in the 90’s too?

Also didn’t we loan a winger from them while in League One?

Black guy whose name escapes me. Scored a cracker of a goal on his Valley debut I think from out on the left wing ?

Dany N'Guessan

Your guessing right FA.

Which is great but we’re talking about a 6th tier side here. He’s going to get released this summer considering he’s now 20, at that point to make it worth gambling on as a championship side you would at least need him to be in L2/increadible season in NL

Am I reading this wrong. Why is / would Kelman being going to The USA to do a pre season ? He’s going to do one with us under the supervision of Jones and his team. I get that players are given fitness plans for the summer but that’s very different from what you’ve suggested. Where’s this come from please

Yes, it clearly says pre-pre season. 

Goes "home" to the US over the summer, does some extra training, takes in a couple of WC games no doubt, sounds like a good way to spend the offseason

Feels strange really - we're not some big "you can't cross the divide" rivally like Celtic/Rangers, or even the only two clubs in one city whre you might feel like you'll get constant abuse in your home town for leaving to join the other team.  I don't like Millwall, but then I don’t like Palace, and loads of players have played for us and Palace.

Plus the fact we were a league or two above them for years, and then they've been a league above us for a good few years recently means you'd expect more of the Alex Mitchell type transfers - not good enough for the league one team are in, maybe good enough for the lower league the other is in.  Plus you don't need the upheaval of moving house, moving away from family etc.

Surprised there haven't been more.

Charlie Savage expected to leave Reading this summer with several Championship teams showing interest.

We were interested in him last summer … not had such a good season wonder if he still on our list ?

Year left to run so Reading probably have to do a deal now. Local press over there is saying Cardiff are the main interest.

Also being linked with Wrexham, but then half the Welsh national team are linked with them if they look like moving anywhere.

Could see the fit at Wrexham too. Matty James won't go on forever and good competition for Dobbo and Rathbone. 

Watching the Stevenage v Stockport semi
final .. what a awful  game played  by two poor sides both will come back down if either make it .. but don’t rule out all league one players there still one or two that would not look out of place in the championship .. one of them is centre back at Stockport Pye .. even in a poor game he looked head and shoulders above anyone else .. 

Terry Brisley??

Eamonn Dunphy.
