who should stay and who should go?

I'm with nearly all Barnsley fans when I believe there has to be a clearout this summer, regardless of what division we are in.

First of all, I'm 100% behind Danny Wilson he has certainly improved things since arriving in December and he is the right manager to lead us forward

Goalkeepers
Steele - If he wants to stay, then keep him which I'm pretty sure he will
Turner - Sell him, seems like a waste of wages if he's only going to be on the bench
Dibble - Seen him in the under 21's and seems like a good shot shopper, keep him

Defenders
Cranie - Depends what he wants to do, good defender and an asset to have but not a disaster if he leaves either
M'Voto - Definitely keep, been our best player in recent weeks and will be a big player for us
Nyatanga - Versatile and solid and could be M'Voto defensive partner if we get relegated. Keep
Hunt and McLaughlin - Will go back to their parent clubs, doubt they'll come back
Kennedy - A solid left back who gets too much undeserved flak, should keep.
Etuhu - Could have just found his best position and he is a strong presence at right back, keep
Ramage - If we stay up, then he should be a player DW looks to buy permanently
Hassell - Doesn't look to be in DW's plans so perhaps a coaching role for him

Midfielders
Woods, Mellis and McCourt - all of them work shy and not up for the fight and more wastes of wages. Sell
Cywka - Better as an impact sub and that isn't good enough. Sell
Frimpong - surprised he hasn't been given more chances. could become a good defensive midfielder. keep
Lawrence - Has quality and looks like he cares. Very experienced too. keep
Dawson - Not much ability but a good captain and puts a shift in. Keep
O'Brien - Vital player for us, makes good runs and energises the midfield. they have missed him of late
Jennings - Gone off the boil lately but he's a big talent. Definitely one to keep
Digby - One for the future, maybe needs a loan spell to get him going

Strikers
O'Grady - Needs a strike partner to bring out the best in him, can score plenty of goals. Keep
Pedersen and Proschwitz - We'll never hear of them again after this season. no loss at all
RNL - Needs to be consistently played as a striker and hopefuly he can stay clear of injuries
Rose - This loan spell should do him good, could be a good striker next season

 

I'd look to get shut of Kennedy and Frimpong too, but otherwise I think most would agree with you. I imagine Crainie would look to leave.

 

This would be my retain list:

Steele
Cranie
M'voto
Nyatanga
Kennedy
Hassell
Ramage
Lawrence
Dawson
O'Brien
Jennings
Digby
O'Grady
RNL
Rose

 

Ramage will return to Palace and I suspect will get plenty of interest from other Championship clubs even if we stay up, which looks very unlikely...
