5 senior players to go?

[Dions Sax 0]

5 senior players seem to be out of favour with Glen. What are your thoughts on the future of these players? Do you think they will go in January to make way for the famous five loan players, with Pattison and Taylor signing pernamently?

Simon Lappin - excellent on dead balls. Provides cover for left side. Not good enough to be 1st choice. Behind Hucks and Pattison for left mid, and GR got Camera in to replace Drury at LB, so clearly not fancied.

Ian Murray - only contracted until end of season. Probably quite high wages as came from Rangers. Too expensive as a squad player. Does not seem to have a specialist position. Jack of all, master of none? On his way out?

Julien Brellier - had high hopes for this Scotish import. Looked good against Ipswich, but nowhere to be seen again now. Seems to have fallen out of favour with Roeder, after the same thing happened with Grant. Hasn''t found the right midfield partner yet. Would be a shame to see him go, but if his departure made way for Pattsion to sign, then can go. If could not get in team with Russell suspended, would need a major injury crisis to re-establish himself.

Chris Brown - Roeder made his feelings about Brown very clear in an interview where he said that no club can afford to have a striker that does not score his share of goals. GR will want rid, but will there be any takers? Possibly in league 1 or 2.

Dave Striker - is not going to apapt to English football by playing a reserve game once a month against Stevenage. Either needs to go on loan to a league 1 club, or sell back to East Europe and try to get at least some of the transfer fee back.

If NCFC can sign Taylor you can add Docherty to your list of five. 

[First Wizard 0]

Doherty   

Donkerty

Donk

Doc

And him again!

Is he that much worse than Shackell ?  I would say they were on a par.

just out of question how much do you think you can get for the 5 players i reckon

murray - free

lappin 200k

breiller 400k - hearts maybe?

brown 150k - lower league

striker 500k back to team in the country that he came from

question is who will pay for them to take them off your hands if they are for sale

The Great Escape, (Happy) stated:

''If NCFC can sign Taylor you can add Docherty to your list of five.''

So we let Murray and Docherty go and have no experienced centre back cover for Shackell and hopefully Taylor. DOH!  I''m glad you''re not manager of NCFC.

I''ve left out the fringe players

GK

Marshall, Gilks, Lewis

LB

Camara (sign), Drury

RB

Semmy, +one on loan

CB

Taylor (sign), Doherty, Shackell, +one on loan

LM

Huckerby, Lappin

RM

Croft, Chadders

CM

Pattison (sign), Russell, Smith (extend loan), Fozzy, Brellier

CF

Cureton, Dublin, Evans (extend loan), Strihavka, Martin

OUT: Gallacher, Brown, Jarvis, Murray

This leaves a few spaces for loans should we need them

My guess would be Taylor, Pattison, Evans, Camera and Smith. Those 5 will all be off soon !!!

The loanees will be back over the Christmas period, so Joe Lewis, Bally Smart etc can meet the new manager and coaching staff. Apparently there has been a renewed focus on youth by the new regime.

bally smart looks good prospect in what iv seen of him, but he has been mainly used as a sub at mkdons, so leave him there to gain 1st team experience

you wont see the best of him if in relegation battle, expecting him to perform from moment i say go till may08

when you are established midtable and not much to play for with no risk then bring him into the team

Well, you got 1 out of 5 so far (Taylor).

[InLambertWeTrust! 0]

   Thank you so much we8wba for advising us when to bring Bally Smart, shouldnt you help your ''1st team'' wolves instead?

[Mud Man 0]

I suspect Bally''s loan period won''t be renewed at MK Dons. Ince told him he''d be playing and he hasn''t so he''ll probably go to another club on loan if Roeder doesn''t see a role for him here.

[yellow hammer 131]

You shouldn''t be speculating on which permanent players will be leaving. As the board obviously isn''t backing the Taylor transfer, Glen will be stuck with the same old rubbish he inherited.

[Dions Sax 0]

Looks like I was right to speculate which senior players will go. Going by todays Pinkun article, it looks like I was spot on, not including academy players Martin and Spillane. I''d still expect Martin and Spillane to only be loaned out in January at most, as they are not going to be on massive wages. It appears you don''t get many chances to under-perform in front og Glen, and rightly so.

My only issue with this statement from Glen is that this could have a negative impact on the favoured 12-15 players. This statement basically means that until he gets new players in, the favoured crop are under no threat for their places. I hope they don''t take their foot off the pedal as a result.

I dont read that into it at all.

The way i see it, and would if i was a player, is that no one hase a right to play, you have to earn it through performance.

He sure isnt affraid to drop people thats for sure.

So i doubt any of them feel secure to be honest.

I think is not easy to attract good players here these days so for me is very risky to release these 5-6 players so easy ...

First we need to add players then this that look bad in Roeder view to go out!
