agree with the vast majority of this assuming anyone you’ve not commented on you’re letting go. I’d probably keep Akinola and Ferguson and let Egbri and Kinali go.

I missed out Kinali, who I really like the look of, I'd offer him a contract. Everyone else can go. Was a bit torn about Nile to be honest, get him fit over the summer and he'd rip the NL apart. Surprised you say you'd let Egbri go, I think he's improved massively.

I'd take Kyle Taylor too, but can't see any way he'd drop to the NL.

Timothee Dieng. Personally I think if PB is appointed manager TD will be offered a deal.

Taylor impressed initially but then faded, like you say I don’t think he’d want NL anyway. ANG having another year to run is annoying, yes he showed glimpses but for me just lost the ball in promising positions too often. Otherwise I pretty much agree with your choices and I’d keep Kinali.

Ashley Nathaniel George? He cant cross,shoot or pass,trips up after amazing runs or holds onto the ball for to long! Yeh we should definitely keep!!
 
I'd keep Ferguson and Hobson as a decent spine if we could get Cordner too that would be good. A few of the youngsters worth persevering with like Egbri and Clifford. The striker force needs completely revamping. Would not keep any of them bar Rush.

I didn't mind him, at least he tried and he was in a team that was pretty much particularly bad so I'd give him a go and seen how he got on, especially with someone like Brown in charge. I think Craig Fagan would actually get a lot of benefit out of someone like ANG.
 
If you don't offer Elvis a new deal you don't get any money for him, so you'd be throwing away money.

Not all the players I'd be retaining would be first team squad: some of the youngsters need time to develop.

I think the extraordinary thing is the sheer size of that squad. Umbongo or not a load of money spent and not always wisely I think we can agree.

The squad looks big because it includes u23s who were forced into first team action before they were ready.

What a thoroughly depressing read.... It's no better than the last 2 seasons.,....Do you honestly believe that those remaining players are the basis of a competitive re build ?.Just who will be keen to sign for us if the mess Ron has created isn't resolved

Pretty much agree with all of that. But if Brown is here, I'm not sure he's a big fan of ANG.

Agree with all but I'd add Bwomono and Hart to that list. Both work hard and committed players.
 
If you don't offer Elvis a new deal you don't get any money for him, so you'd be throwing away money.

Fair comment YB and he is one of those that does genuinely seem to care. I ummed and ahhed about Lewis Gard. I was always a big fan of his, but two big major injuries in consecutive seasons and I do wonder if we can afford the luxury of trying to get a player like that back to fully fit and at the level we'd need.
