The Blobster

Prediction Champ
After Grimes he was one of our most influential players last season.
Not giving him another year beggars belief , I don't think his wage demands would be unreasonable as he surely understands his and the clubs financial situation , have they even discussed the situation with him ?

Routs amply demonstrated that he is still a force in the Championship. Not offering him a new contract is ridiculous. He may not have accepted a contract at reduced wages but surely one must have been offered .... at least until we know the disposition of James.

We didn't really miss the likes of Fer or Carroll, and I am presuming that the Ayew brothers and Borja still have a season left on their contracts ... they are going to be loaned out or sold. Montero .... we should keep him around; some argue a one-trick pony, but what a trick.

Pinch of salt time?
First they warn everyone on the staff of impending redundancy, now everyone who will be out of contract is dumped.
Fer will be missed, a tad, for his inspirational qualities, but Routledge is a keystone of the squad.
When they've sorted out the "hole" with a couple of transfers and offloaded the wage drain of Ayews and Baston there will be wriggle room to offer the maestro a new contract. Timing may be a problem as he could have sorted out a flat and car share with Angel by then.
