All ours OOC given it's NLS but I reckon: Keep Chris Haigh GK Sam Beard DF Joe Cook DF Joel Colbran DF Nicky Wheeler MF Jack Spong MF (Won't be surprised if he goes higher) Odei Martin Sorondo MF Glen Rea MF Danny Cashman (Same as Spong) Mo Faal FW Undecided Sam Packham DF Alfie Young DF Tommy Willard FW Temi Babalola FW Release Lucas Covolan GK Ollie Black DF Jack Bates MF Bailey Smith FW Liam Nash (Already left for personal reasons) Joe Partington (Retired) So that leaves a core 10 plus a couple to go 50/50 on which is strong as a collective. Aggy has said he only wants to add a handful and if we axe the squad players who've been out on loan that's doable. Probably need a striker, a CB, a LWB and maybe some CM's depending on what happens with Cashman and Spong.
Was buzzing when he returned because of his first stint even though it was harsh on Haigh. But the more I think about it his ****ups against Truro and Dorking have probably cost us the league.
Here’s what I’d do. The actual decisions will be made by the club within the next week. This is a lot less ruthless than I would have been a month or two ago. Goalkeepers Gabriel Breeze - (contracted) keep Harry Lewis - (contracted) transfer list Jude Smith - (contracted) transfer list Defenders Josh Williams - (contracted) keep Archie Davies - (contracted) transfer list Jack Ellis - (out of contract) keep Ben Barclay - (out of contract) release Aaron Hayden - (contracted) keep Terell Thomas - (contracted) transfer list Sam Lavelle - (out of contract) release Cameron Harper - (contracted) keep Paul Dummett - (out of contract) release Midfielders & Wingers Callum Guy - (out of contract) keep Dylan McGeouch - (out of contract) release Josh Vela - (out of contract) release Callum Whelan - (contracted) keep Will Patching - (contracted) transfer list Ethan Robson - (contracted) transfer list Taylor Charters - (out of contract) release Jordan Jones - (contracted) transfer list Kadeem Harris - (out of contract) keep Stephen Wearne - (contracted) keep Elliot Embleton - (contracted) keep Strikers Charlie Wyke - (contracted) keep Luke Armstrong - (contracted) transfer list Anton Dudik - (out of contract) release Georgie Kelly - (contracted) keep Matt Dennis - (out of contract) keep Cedwyn Scott - (contracted) transfer list .
How’s Willard been for you this season? Think there were a few that were disappointed to see him go, and thought he’d tear up the NLS so surprised to see him on your Not Sure list
There's definitely a class player there, however he was injured for a spell and has struggled to get minutes since coming back. Granted part of that is because since his layoff we went to two up top but I did hope for a bit more in his cameos. Ultimately I don't think I'd pick him consistently over Cashman in the slightly deeper role and I neither see as capable of leading the line as someone like Faal, so it's more a case of where does he fit in. If he moves on then anyone in the NLS would have a hell of a player on their hands, and if Cashman goes I'd probably lean towards keeping him.
some Carlisle fans are going to have to get realistic and realise a good chunk will be here next season. what is transfer listing going to do when most are on enormous wages and non played well enough for anyone to want them. Armstrong for example, even if on lowest estimates for his wages we as a club would have to be willing to frankly pay up £100-150k just for him to play for someone else we may get rid of 2-3 if lucky but most will stay we have to just get the supposedly good player performing out of them
Transfer list/loan list. Either is fine. We managed to offload Armstrong this season. We managed to offload Ethan Robson this season. People will take players who have a past rep. Yeah we might have to subsidise some of the salary, but if the player is willing we’ll be able to move them on.
