Current Leeds Squad...just so we know

[Twiggster]

Add Ben Parker in orange and Charlie Taylor in black - plus I believe the Turner twins have signed professional contacts, so also available for 1st team?

What a dire situation

My take on the squad;

Retain
Lonergan
Clayton
Becchio
Pugh
Lees
Snodgrass
White
Somma
Thompson
McCormack
Cairns
Taylor

Possible retentions
Vayrynen
Brown
Sam
Nunez

Let go & Loan returns
Connolly
Parker
Kisnorbo
Bruce
O'Brien (obviously)
Paynter
Rachubka
Forsell
Bromby

Townsend
Delph
O'Dea

Thats just how I see the squad, theres little chance of getting the loan players permanently, if they're crap we don't want them, if they play well, we can't afford them.

Eddie Gray said on the radio that 80% of the team needs changing, now will Bates give his new manager (we know its going to happen) money to sign players or not?

that team could be wrong,did parker and o'b go on loan ? Bruce going to america perhaps ?
not sure just asking
If so then those who have gone on loan are not the current squad ?

Parker is out on loan since last week - o'b is going to a tribunal ( ) and Bruce has been knocked back by Galaxy for being "too small"

Personally I'd have White in there - not deadwood as far as I'm concerned. Still a lot to learn, but decent.

aye but out of contract....I removed him for contract being up not as deadwood. I'm not sure what happens to Somma either

Somma's contract runs out June 2013.

[The Subhuman]

Somma's contract runs out June 2013.

Yes I know, which is why he's included in the final list...but I suspect he get's released on medical grounds after the last setback

Lonergan is a Gary Sprake type keeper

Cairns - i've only seen for about 60 minutes v the Seasiders

O'Brien is injury prone, another hamstring injury this week which doesn't bode well for a ageing player

Snoddy is overated, if we are offered a few million quid, take the money & run

Rogers i've only seen for 10 minutes before his nasty injury

Clayton has been erratic

Nunez - still unsure about him

Becchio works hard but can't turn & beat a man as the 34yo Roberts did a couple of times today

McCormack lacks strength & is another one who is overated

Somma has a serious injury to overcome & still unproven

We can't get rid of them all mate, we need at least a core to rebuild with next year...These are the ones left with a contract next season who may be of use...I'd like to see Rodgers play every game till the end of he season and maybe a couple of youngsters...Give Snoddy a rest for a couple of weeks

I just can't see how any fan can judge five players who hasn't competed or completed 90 minutes of competitive football this season

which 5 are these?...don't forget we'll won't be able to shift most of the deadwood profitably, if NW wants them out we'll have to pay for it...all I've done is remove those who will be out of contract and then with the final post removed those who haven't proved themselves over a couple of seasons (at least)...I understand you'd like to get rid of Rodgers, OBrien, Somma etc but we can't fire everyone..can we?

as a matter of interest of the top list who would you keep fr next season?

Cairns, Rogers, O'Brien, Somma & Nunez

Tbh Faaip all my favourite players have left the club & it really isn't a major concern for me who leaves the club in the summer, i won't lose any sleep whoever leaves mate :sleep1:

Lees is a very good centre back when you consider his age, can only improve as CB's generally do !

Who Warnock retains ? only he knows

I am sorry guys thats it, being very disapointed with Becchio, Roberts out played him today, we have no raw pace in the team. Brown is a liability, Maybe include Rogers in this, we need a new team.....

well my logic is we get the high earners of little use of the wage bill...so players like Rogers (unproven as you say but also unplayed) will be on a small wage in comparison...Cairns is reserve squad again will be on minimum wage. We're gonna need to keep one centreback at least, unless we can move them all on..I'm fairly positive Bromby and Bruce aren't good enough ..so I went with O'Brien...I feel Somma will get released. Nunez has a fairly long but I would imagine relativity low cost contract...and has the ability to be game changer off the bench.
