Summer transfer rumours/speculation and retained list

Plymouth have 2 strikers bigger clubs are sniffing around with 1 probably heading out of the door. Hopefully its Tolaj as I also heard we had a sell on clause. Also heard that Tolajs agent is active in always wanting to move his player on. Plymouth apparently are looking at Kabia from Grimsby as a replacement, my Grimsby mate tells me they had him from Truro.

Kabia would be a good signing for us too but clearly he’d be happier in L1 and back in the West country. He was outstanding for Truro under their promotion season with John Askey, who have really struggled without him. Plays either up front or on the wing - just what we need.

Good height at 6’0”, right age at 25, not injury-prone and pretty good goal tally - 16 in 40 games for Truro and 18 in 45 for Grimsby after stepping up a level to the EFL.

If only…

Nah, he is an Everton development player, he won’t come here to get developed. I don’t see him going on to have a great career either, he is simply too clumsy and lacks the composure a great striker needs. Those are innate skills you can’t really coach. He simply doesn’t seem special enough to keep to me and he missed another sitter today. 
 
He may make it in league 1 or 2 if he works hard, I agree, but I just don’t think he is worth pushing the boat out for and better prospects will be out there.  
He doesn't look like a natural footballer.

Big clear out. I could count the players I would keep on one hand. 
Loanees can go back, I’d keep Gauci but he will be out of our budget. The others I thought were shocking really. Campbell maybe if on a free and develop him in league 2.

Re Budget Lincoln had the 8th lowest. 
I think Brady might offer Sherif a deal if he’s out of contract. 
Hernandez will get an offer and perhaps Ward. 
I could be wrong so don’t it’s a guess so chill😎

Hernandez certainly will/should or there is something wrong

Not so sure on Ward considering Brady said he wants young players with power and pace who are upcoming in their careers,so he might want someone younger in the midfield,also i was sure he would be after Sherif but again yesterday he mentioned Faal and we know he has tried to sign him before,so it could be him but we also need one or two who have been banging goals in this season maybe that's from the National league and they will cost

Mitch Clark for me has been in some great positions this season but every all he has played into the box he has over hit. 
 

 

I think he will be let go

27 league starts and 2 goals in a struggling side isn't bad for a defensive midfielder. 

You did see him play for us didn't you?

I really hope today finally stops people clamouring for Sheriff. He's had one good game since he's been here. Genuinely no better than Loft.

I only mentioned signing him IF the choice was him or Faal but i would sooner neither sign,sadly i do think one of those will

All eyes on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning now when the retained list should come out.

My guess right now is:-

Released - Gray, Hart, Ojo, Clark, Debrah, Amos, Ward, Magloire, Croasdale

Listed - Marosi, Shipley and think we’ll come to terms with Rico. Paton we’ll agree a deal with St Johnstone for him to go there permanently.

Offer terms - Garrity, Heneghan, Onel, Stockley

Of the loanees the only one I think JB might show an interest in could be Eli Campbell. Gauci is simply not a realistic option.

*haven’t included C.Hall as it’s believed he has a year extension clause.

 

I dont think that's bad guess work in all honesty,it will also be interesting to see which youth players get offered pro terms

We need players who are more physical. Lincoln were huge and strong.

Of the January signings and loanees this season I’d keep Hernandez and I’d keep Gauchi unless we can sign better. The rest I would let go and not have them back here again.

I was just about to post about that

What I will say is,if we aren't making him an offer to stay then it will need to be one hell of a signing to replace as he is the one real quality player that we have in the squad

Terrible decision.

Yep he’s clearly off. Probably get a decent club now we’ve been used to get him fit. Shambles we are
