Re: Our off contract players, who would you keep? : Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:23 am
Wellens - The team will need to start getting younger at the end of the year and we've got some good potential options at #1 so probably will be the perfect time for his bow. Release.Gardner - Does a job and still got a few years left in him. If we can't find another winger before the end of the year then he'd be worth another year on the right money. Borderline keep.
Meli - Still our only strike player but just too old to commit another year to now. Reluctant release.
Gaskell - Still has a lot to prove before we commit our future to him, but hard to see many alternatives out there. Probably a keep.
Swift - Not seen that much of him but wouldn't cost much and seems a decent enough prospect. Keep.
Greenwood - As per Swift. Keep.
Laffranchi - Who else are we going to get of the same quality from Oz or elsewhere? Overwhelming keep.
Perry - Unless he has an absolutely sensational season he needs to be on his way. Most disappointing big signing we've made in 25 years. Release.
Puletua - We need to get younger and his best years look to be behind him. Might still be worth another year though and we certainly aren't going to find another player to provide his impact if he does go. Undecided.
Flanagan - An underrated bits and pieces player. Keep.
