The players who have left were they any first team regulars? They have only started to clear out the duds they brought to the club, and ones sent on loan with the exception of some who left permanently or on loan and Melkerson with an option to buy.

Deadwood
Newell
JDH
Hanlon
Stevenson
Doidge

Campbell won't be going anywhere hopefully.

At least you've stopped being passively aggressive...

I suggested already, stop the name calling, there is no need.

Personally only Doidge would be on my list. To have Paul, Lewis and Josh even near that list is stupidity.

I have edited my post. It’s all about opinions and they are mine,
Just like you and everyone else has theirs.
 
On Stevenson and Hanlon to a lesser extent, it’s the old age argument; I’ve often thought over the years that they should be moved on and we should bring in better. Lost count of the managers that’ve tried (especially Stevenson) and they’ve out lasted them and whoever was brought in to replace them. Their time will come but it’s not lost on me that’s two players that give a shit and whilst I still want to see us improve, I’d be less hasty around letting them go until we know we actually do have better.

I think Josh Campbell is the next one. A solid if unspectacular midfielder, a grafter, a player who won’t let his team down, a Hibs man, willing to play any position… and a player that most new managers won’t look at as one to immediately replace.

And that won’t ever be good enough for some.

Yeah don’t get that - I like Josh and he’s still relatively young (I think) and he’s no shrinking violet. Need to ignore the right back nonsense- filled in when asked and it’s not his fault he’s never a right back.

I agree but he’s a decent midfielder, not the one who’ll often produce a bit of magic but the one who will allow others to do so… every team needs that kind of player.

Stevenson has held his own for a long time, and has deserved his place in most teams. I do feel that perhaps time is catching up on him unfortunately.

Hanlon hasn’t looked the same player this season since returning from that injury. He’s either playing through the pain or he’s permanently hampered by it. Time will tell which.

I think Josh would do well as a sitting midfielder similar to the callus mcgregor role at Celtic/Scotland
 
Big fan of young Josh. Just imagine how much improved he'd be with some decent players and experience round about him. And some proper leaders on the pitch too. Hopefully he learns from Aiden and continues improving. The lad is showing potential and improvement IMO.

LJ did say he expected Portos last game would be the Derby so unless a bids accepted now I expect that to be the case.

But i assume that’s based on a deal that suits all parties, which is far from guaranteed
 
Rumour is the Sunderland lad will join today (Friday), I wonder if we're getting this done before Porto leaves.

No but the DOF would have had a plan in place to get rid at the beginning of January, mind you if they get the final say in all football decisions that is 👀

No chance would they have had a plan in place by the start of Jan. Its all good saying we'd get rid, but you need clubs to take them and all the other details that go into moving players along.


Lots of talk about how they've been doing this since before the world Cup.
A review took place before the world Cup, which then led them to realise this was the path they're taking now.
These things take time, interviews take time, shortlisting takes time


It all takes time.
Expecting it to have all been fixed by now when they only started planning 2 months ago is unrealistic.

Agree

Don't understand the criticism of him, playing in a poor team doesn't make you a poor player.
Hes shown more than most of our squad this term and on that alone, deserves a chance to do better with better players.

I'd use him as a box to box midfielder, he's got energy for days and should be using it. Shown he can impact offensively and defensively so would make sense imo.

Use him where he performs best.
Stop throwing him into positions to accommodate others.
