Popular Post Mantis Posted April 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2016 2 minutes ago, Hughes said: Agree that we should terminate several player contracts, I've been saying that for quite some time. However, if we are to terminate or sell or let go of most or all I think we all need to understand that assembling a completely new squad will likely mean that promotion next year will be hard. Surely, some of the current players must have the correct attitude and quality to play for us in the Championship? I'd imagine there's a core group of players in the dressing room that are utterly poisonous (and I think we know who most of these are) who should be sold/sacked/isolated as a matter of urgency whereas there are a fair few who could probably play a part yeah. For me, the absolute must go's are: Guzan Hutton Lescott Richards Richardson Sinclair Agbonlahor 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually I do not think we would miss them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mantis Posted April 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2016 We absolutely would not miss them no. Players like Okore, Veretout, Gil, Ayew and Amavi could play a very positive part next season. Those are the only ones I'm really worried about losing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughes Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) @Mantis , yes I can agree with that list as a combination of lack of professionalism and lack of quality. However, to me Sanchez needs to be added, he is completely shit. Bacuna needs to go as well, he has stated publicly he doesn't want to be here. That's 9 alone....

Richard Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The list is far too smal . It would be easier to say who I'd like to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to bring in some replacements, not 9 though hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, coming back to my earlier point, shipping out all or most of the players will require a completely rebuild and I think that would mean we need more than one season to get back up. We had an extreme make over this season, we have had 5 (to be 6) managers in 5 years. No effing stability nowhere except for Lerner. Changing 20 players now again with a new manager I fear will be too much. Edited April 2, 2016 by Hughes Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easier to say who I'd like to stay I agree with you that there are very few who I'd actively like to stay but I think there are different categories. There's a difference between poisonous players like Agbonlahor and Lescott and just poor players like say Gestede and Cissokho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted April 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2016 Who's in charge of the music that the players run out to? Because for the rest of the season it should be Madness's "You're an Embarrassment". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if you add Adama and Grealish with that lot, they would most likely be the seven I would keep if necessary (as mentioned before, we can't get rid of everyone in one summer sadly). I think Gana will go anyway. First out the door for me is Gabby, Richards and Lescott. They're the priority exits. Then next lot out is probably the likes of Guzan, Bacuna and Sinclair. Richardson & Zoggy should hopefully be gone too. They're mostly our big earners I think, so that's a bonus. The likes of Westwood, Gestede, Hutton, Cissokho etc I'm not overly fussed if they stay, but can see them perhaps being of some use in a Championship squad. They're not great, but their attitudes and overall influence aren't as damaging as the priority exits, I suspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villanwesty88 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Actually pleased that this dismal performances and attitudes are continuing (as bizarre as that sounds). This way all the new guys on the board are getting a real picture in their short time here of what is has been like all season. So these players are putting the nails in their own coffins which I am pleased about. No second chances. I'm confident that the new guys on the board are not going to accept any sh*t as the last month of ins and outs have shown. The only reason the players are still here is because we are not in the window. Their time will come. I just hope that the board and coaching staff come to an agreement about playing our youth players and players that will be here next season for the remaining fixtures. Lets play the players who want to be here and will be here and most importantly will play with pride and passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikantcpell Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Horrible, Horrible bunch, knowing that they earn the kind of money they do is really pissing me off. They should all be sent to the labour camps in north korea! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted April 2, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2016 I think Hutton is a bit hard done by in being included in this thread. There are some reasons why you might want to get rid of Hutton, he's not the best player in the squad, but in terms of his attitude, he's about the only player in this side who's shown a real determination to give his best. I'd keep him and I might even consider him for the armband next season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2016 To be fair a lot of the bt sport coverage of the match today was about the poor attitude of the players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh absolutely. No doubt. I was just saying that selling or kicking out all or most would perhaps be a bit too much. Some of the current bunch surely need to hack it in the Championship, both in terms and attitude and quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The players should be sacked with no pay off. If i performed like that in my job i would be sacked. Why should these "footballers" be given a free ride effectively stealing a living! They are the worst bunch of players to wear the shirt! Im sure some of the under 21's would at least put some pride into the performance! This bunch won't win another game and i doubt they will score. Pathetic losers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that in mind, I personally would not keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I'd go out there and give my best. Hutton tries, but he's shit, and he's lucky he hasn't seriously injured several players this season alone. His tackling is disgraceful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleAthon Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 His attitude, though, is one of determination that is so clearly lacking from so many others. His *attitude* is, so it seems, positive, and I would therefore retain him, unlike Agbonlasnore, Bacuna, Lescott, N'Zogbia (remember him?!), etc...
