windermereROYAL CF reporting 5 players have been removed from 1st team training, are we thinking Baldock too?

Zipgenomeleon That doesn’t sound great tbh.
It's brutal by the club and to be honest, I'm surprised Mannone is one of them considering I don't think his performances have been that bad (certainly no worse than Jaakkola).
But in desperate times the club needs to do everything it can - sure it's a bit distasteful but if it keeps us up, then it was worth pissing off a few highly paid professionals.
I thought the criticism of Mannone after the Derby game was harsh. I would have him ahead of Jaakkola and Walker but appreciate there isn’t much in it and he is the highest paid of the three.
I don’t see why he should be treated like this though.

Been incredibly disappointed with Mannone. Thought we were getting a very good keeper at his peak. He has been barely average since he arrived. Can remember one good game (Forest at home) and the two pen saves (and let’s face it, the QPR pen was an awful one), and that really is it
It makes complete sense to try to sell if we can. On a chunky wage as well I hear

You’re in a harsh mood tonight Houndy. How many mistakes did he make? Not that many in my view.

It`s not the mistakes, he never made many, aside from the penalties he couldn`t be relied on to make that match winning save. previous keepers here have done that.

alfie9 Why would we swap Sims for Ejaria? Doesn't this defeat the purpose of the clearout?

Victor Meldrewstrap Apologies if already a thread but couldn't find it.
Sims loan deal cancelled and now back at Southampton.
Edwards contract cancelled by mutual consent and now on his way to Shrewsbury on a free, (so his £1,000,000 transfer fee we paid worked out at £336/minute on the pitch ignoring salary, c/w Pelle Clement's £341!).
McShane, Meyler, McNulty and Mannone officially on transfer list.
Ejaria having a medical prior to a loan deal.
I just realised that we have so many players with a surname beginning with "M".
Thought it was a cull of players with surnames beginning with "M" and then realised that we also have Moore, Meite, McIntyre and McCleary.
If only the clear out included all of those starting with the letter "G".
Yet another manager (all the others have been sacked) is conned into thinking he is any good-what hold has that player got over somebody at the club?

biff Watch him play on youtube (I know i know). Pedestrian, lethargic, too many touches. Not really sure what role he's going to play here

RG7FanSnowflake Royal I'd also add that whilst it's great Gomes has transfer listed the McShane, Mannone and Meyler, it doesn't mean they'll go anywhere.
Given Clement signed Walker and extended Jaakkola it's not unreasonable to consider that he may have been trying to shift Mannone. And he certainly dropped Meyler and McShane like hot potatoes too.
Hopefully Gomes will have more success but I fear of the four Ms the one most likely to go is the one whose likely cheapest and most likely to be useful next season in League One. And we'll still be paying at least two of the other three come Feb.
But if they are training seperately and not being picked then it doesnt matter surely (other than the cost)?

ZipLower WestURZZZZ Good to see Gomes having a go at restructuring the squad but I thought the whole idea of the summer was to restructure?
Problems started when Clarke was here. All those loan signings. Blowing the Thai's budget on a one off promotion gamble. McD never had a chance to recruit. We were threadbare away at Blackburn on the last day of that season. Ever since we've struggled to have a settled balanced team. Only real top class player we've had is Yann. As could produce something out of nothing.
Yes McDermott was not given a proper chance. I also think Adkins was totally screwed over having to sell ALF and Morrison with Drenthe forced upon him. Little wonder we started to struggle.
God knows how much we paid in loan fees under Clarke. The likes of Vydra and Ola John won’t have come cheap.

Vydra I believe was reckoned to be about £2m loan fee with an option to buy for £10m.
Piazon was on about £750k salary at Chelsea. Wouldn't have been cheap either.
