[Pepe the Horseman]

Would take all of them, then sell them for £10k each. Easy £1m.

Until you subtract all those wages you are paying

Nathan Baxter is an interesting one. We almost signed him a few years back. I thought he was very highly rated

If we sell them immediately we won't have to pay wages.

Think he'll go to the Champ.

And what of those that nobody wants and we get stuck with?

Read up a bit on Baxter, sounds like his form went right downhill and Southwood overtook him

Still maybe one to look at if JP goes elsewhere

[Snowflake Royal]

Recognise very few of those names. Of those that sound familiar only ones that stick out that I'd want to double check age and performance stats for are Poku and Jade Jones.

Same here, Poku and Jade Jones are the two speedsters from Peterbrough and i think there were a few Championship sides sniffing around Poku. Would take either of these in a heart beat!!

[Crusader Royal]

Only thing of interest is how many of those are ex Reading.
I think it’s 2.

[Sutekh]

Angus Gunn and Patrick Bauer surely worth an enquiry?

[Stranded]

Angus Gunn and Patrick Bauer surely worth an enquiry?

Bauer yes.

Bauer only played once all season and that lasted 5 mins. Seems to have been on the bench a lot without getting on the pitch but guess that is the life of a back up CB.

At 29 and still having been a regular Champ keeper, I doubt Gunn would have any interest in dropping to L1 unless on decent money and almost guaranteed to be 1st choice.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Looking forward to the online rage when one of these guys is snapped up before our takeover is confirmed.

Lots of great options out there; we're a big fish in L1 so could no doubt convince good players to join.

Presuming ground work has been and is currently being laid by Brian Carey and Noel. Logically you’d presume some talk has been had with the new owners over budgets and wish lists shaped accordingly. Also the PL season has another couple of weeks to go so their releases won’t really be known to the end of the month which may have some bearing on the ins and outs.

[Hound]

Emil Riis is meant to be quite good isn’t he? Maybe he’s on a big wage or something

[Stranded]

Emil Riis is meant to be quite good isn’t he? Maybe he’s on a big wage or something

Online resources for that kind of thing (I.e. numbers that have probably been made up entirely) have him on around 9k pw.

Certainly out of our budget going forward - imagine he will either get a club in the Champ or move abroad.

[Hound]

Yes he’d be out of our reach. Was just surprised to see his name on there
