2011/12 Squad and Contracts

[BLUEBLOOD]

7 seasons in Tier 2 surely ????? :unsure:

I thought my off the cuff guesses were pretty accurate anyway :angel:

Maybe, I could have made a mistake

 

[Firestorm]

I have a spreadsheet with these numbers on (I don't think anyone will be surprised at that)

my calcs are that since reorganisation (58-59 season) we have spent 7 seasons in Teir 2 (13%) , 26 in 3 (48%) and 21 in 4 (39%)

However the last 25 years are 7, 9 and 9

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

My prediction:

GK:
Evans - released
Morris 2012 - 1 yr extension

RB:
Clohessy 2012
Comminges - released

LB:
Gilbert 2012
Herd - released

CB:
Moshni - sold for c. £50k
Barker - sold for nominal fee
Phillips 2012
Coughlan 2012 - 1 yr extension
Prosser - released

CM:
Anthony Grant - sold for c. £20k
Craig Easton - released
Kane Ferdinand - sold for c. £75k
Lee Sawyer 2012 - 1 yr extension
Bouzid - released

W:
Ryan Hall 2012 - 1 yr extension
Louis Soares - released

F:
Barry Corr 2012
Blair Sturrock - released
Harry Crawford 2012
Paterson - free transfer

- - - - -

So, that will leave us with:

GK:
Morris

RB:
Clohessy

LB:
Gilbert

CB:
Phillips
Coughlan

CM:
Sawyer

W:
Hall

F:
Corr
Crawford

Incidentally, that's not what I would like to happen; that's just me trying to read the tea-leaves and predict what will happen this close season. If money were no object (ha!) then I'd want to make sure we hung on to all of Grant, Ferdinand, Moshni, Barker and Sturrock. My ideal line up for next season would be:


......................Morris...................

Clohessy....Moshni....Phillips.....Barker

....................Ferdinand.................

......Sawyer.......Grant.........Hall......

..............Sturrock.....Corr..............

That side would do fine in L2. However, given our club's impecuniosity, I'd say that it'll be fairly long odds on all of them being here next season...

:(

 

[EastStandBlue]

I'd be extremely surprised if PS is so quick to release Easton... He's the captain and one of "Sturrock's Boys" and I actually think he's an unsung hero of this season. IMO, it's no coincidence that our poor spells have coincided with his injuries.

 

[Napster]

I'd be surprised if he released his son, but having said that, Inter Milan are on the lookout for a striker.

 

[Norwichshrimper]

Let's not overlook the fact that all the squad are likely to be "out of contract" during or before the close season

[Shrimpergonzo]

It says at the bottom of the article about Morris that Bentley has agreed a 2 year professional deal and will provide GK cover - so that's the 2 'keepers sorted now

 

[Crawliano]

So, we're in mid May and have basically the same number of players as went into the 2009/2010 season... That's a start.

Ta. Edited.

Anyone else got the info on the question marks?

Lyle Della-Verde - youth scholarship until he turns 17 in January 2012, then professional deal - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southend_utd/9316368.stm

 

[canveyshrimper]

If Prosser has go an extension then IMO Coughlan should get one.

 

[Angell Delight]

UPDATE:

CB:
Bilel Mohsni 2012

Mohsni is I believe contracted until 2013.

 

[chapperzUK]

Mohsni is I believe contracted until 2013.

According to the article on the OS, he is here until 2012, but with an option for another year.

[Murkey_Mouse]

Its the wingers we need to improve to give us an option on the right side & an extra forward with pace & maybe 1 cover each in midfield & defence then we are sorted!

 

[Pubey]

One thing to take from that is that we've got a pretty sensible squad in terms of contract lengths (and probably wages). The issue before was that because we couldn't compete with wages in the higher leagues we tied players down with more secure and longer contracts. That was our downfall when we got relegated.

 

[leeblue]

we need some pace up top, another hall with real pace would do the trick, if easton signs that could be the midfield sorted, cover for right back?
