Trimming the squad

[patsh]

You're right that he's been excellent for city down the years, but he's just not good enough anymore. And his performances lately have been brutal. No time for sentiment, we want titles. And as for a send-off: was gareth cronin given one, was Deccie, was Skippy???? No, whats billy done that they haven't?

None of those players was, and do you think its acceptable?
Lets just continue on this disgraceful situation because others were ignored as well?
Its about time time gave some recognition to some of our most loyal and best players and it has to start sometime.
Simply introducing a few players at a game and making a presentation is not enough.

none of them are adequate competiton for the first team. prospects, cover and good for the u21s is all well and good if we just want to keep winning the u21 league

I doubt if the U-21s are earning much from CCFC. There are a few prospects there, so we should hang on to them for a bit and see if they make it through to the senior side. To get rid of youngsters coz they're not yet able to challenge senior players is a bit short sighted.

As for those calling for Nwankwo to be moved on - he's usually the first person to be brought on when we need to sub a midfielder. He's very close to getting a starting place. Why get rid of him? It'll just weaken our bench. The following don't get a game and it's probably best to move them on:

Mulconroy
K Murray
Byrne
Greg

i know, in my post i said that we need better players than those players, not that we need to get rid of them
