[Official Site] RETAINED LIST

Aaron Leya-Iseka aka one of our many lazy ********

 

Utter waste of money he is

 

No disagreement from me. Do we pay him off for his lack of effort? That would be great. We are talking about players out of contract.

 

Gotta be the only business that does that......ok maybe high flying CEOs........If I tossed it off the the last year no one would pay me off, god knows I've tried, I'd be sacked simple as.

 

Just offload him asap . He’s not what we want in lea

It’s what we do as a club everything is half arsed and we accept failure

 

To be fair the retain list is par for the course . I would expect at least 5 of our main players leave to balance the books . However , retaining Vic and palmer is not a good sign of our intentions .

 

I guess we all have our individual views on players but whilst we can chew them around they don't really matter as we aren't making the decisions and whoever is, isn't listening to fans views. However, the two things that stand out for me having read this thread are:-

1) I don't see the need for supporters to be berating other supporters for wanting maybe a bit more from today's announcement. It seems that some are content to be conditioned to accept the bare minimum, fair enough, but a number of other clubs go a bit further. I've read quite a few retained list statements over the last week or two and most, if not all, seem to be clear about their loans in and out returning for example - I can't see any harm for us mentioning, say, that Vita has gone back to Bayern Munich if that's the case and that we are considering or have declined the option to buy that we were led to believe we had. Similarly I'm still confused about Oulare - has he returned or is he at RWDM until next Summer? Again easy to clarify that. Some clubs have put the status of their contract offers in cases where eg these have been declined and some others (by no means all) have listed players that are under contract who's names they have circulated as being available for transfer.

2) The fact that we aren't releasing all of the releasable players suggests that either the financial position isn't as dire as logic and known numbers indicate or that we are going to be selling all of our better players and plan to be reliant on the cheaper/(even)younger players for the new season. As I simply don't see the former being the case and don't see any obvious mechanism for the new majority ownership to put money in even if they wanted to, I fear that the latter is the case. We simply don't feel as if we are in a position to be able to afford to have a few hundred grand going on Adeboyajo/Palmer standard players at the moment unless they are going to be expected to be regulars. I'll refrain from giving my view as to where that might end up leading us but all-in-all this doesn't feel like a great start for 'Spectemur Agendo'.

 

We need shut of the Cryne's. They're too reliant on the just be thankful to have a club mob.

 

You his agent or something?

 

Late developer is Victor...watch him come into his own next season or the season after or the season after or the season after....joking apart... In my opinion the lad needs to be more aggressive when he crosses that white line...hes too nice at times for his own good he's big enough to knock 7 bells out of most defenders but lacks that aggression that top strikers have
Yes his first touch is like a sledge hammer to a nut but the lad gives 100% when he plays
A week or two with Billy big balls Whitehurst would do him the world of good now he did know aggression lol

 

Been at the club since the 17/18 season of which one season he was out on loan (Bristol Rovers?). His best goal return in a season is 4.

 

He is a striker with a goal scored record of 9 goals in 98 appearances which is shocking, he played in division 2 with Cambridge & Bristol rovers & failed , neither team came back for him , he played in Vals team but only a bit part ,but considering we could & did use 16 players during a match then so did others as well , he might have a good attitude which is commendable but if you think he is going to bring goals to the team which is what you pay strikers for then I think you will be mistaken & if you expect us to try & get back to the championship with Vic leading the line then it is not going to happen. The truth of it is that Vic is at best is an impact player off the bench , when he starts a match he struggles & you expect an impact player to impact the game but unfortunately his goal scoring record suggests he rarely does , you obviously rate him & I do not , we have different opinions & that is fine by me but no arguments will persuade me that Vic will fire us towards promotion .

 

He’s a backup player at best, but he’s a useful backup player to have for his sheer size & strength alone. I can guarantee though if we let him go & we get injuries in that position next season we’ll definitely regret not keeping him around, especially with how low his wages would be.

 

I’d rather keep Iseka than Vic. The lad can finish, that’s clear from the few chances he had last season. A new season with a new coach and playing alongside Morris with some proper service, I think he’d score goals in L1.
That said, I think he’ll probably get sold back to a Belgian club.
