I know Slab was mentioned but I think it would be crazy to get rid of him. He's one of our most talented players!

Well apparently not!!! Two regulars are off. How this was decided before the last game of the season is redicolous

The players taht are out of contract are most probably free to go after tonights game or early next week so Tony and Nick I would presume would have to try and sign up the players they want to retain ASAP.

correct. the one year contracts would expire after the last game so they would need to be signed up before that or else risk losing them.

Any idea how soon we will be getting official word from the club about players released/re-signed

I doubt there's much of a rush. Other clubs could have approached these players any time in the last 6 months. Also, the longer before you give out new contracts the longer before you have to start paying them again.

i know that our running costs for the off season will be higher than they evere were now.

Heard Foley was offered a new contract anyway. Some turnaround for him.

**corbyeire** · 12/11/2007, 12:33 PM

deserved if this is the case - what was tony thinking in the first place

Some turnaround for TC more like. He wanted foley out to make way for the new signings who in turn didnt work out. Glad to see him get a contract. Hope its not a rumour.

**GuisaSaigon** · 12/11/2007, 2:45 PM

Foley should definitely be given a new contract. He's proven his worth this season.

**snookerloopy** · 12/11/2007, 4:01 PM

in the interest of debate why not put up yere own lists of keep and release?

if we want to progress we need someone who can also pass the ball the one dimensional players belong in the 1st division thats how we picked them up, we wont challenge the likes of Bohs,Cork with players like Wes and Foley in the team, compare them to there counter-parts who can do a lot more then just tackle/header

any chance we can get andy myler whos been released by rovers?

Did he play for ATFC before?

Are ye holding on to Lavine?

**GuisaSaigon** · 13/11/2007, 9:22 AM

Foley is a good squad player for a Premier Division team as is Wes, we need strength in depth next season. Both players have had their ups and downs this season but I'd be holding on to them if I was TC.
I would keep:
* Keepers: Rogers, Banana!
* Defenders: Keano, Fitzy, Lester, Wes, Reggie.
* Midfielders: Foley, Robson, Russell, O'Brien
* Strikers:Glynn, Stevo
Get rid of the rest with Vinny Faherty a maybe.

**gufct** · 13/11/2007, 9:38 AM

Shane Tracey as far as I know is on a 2 year .Didnt play badly the last night and is still only 20. Molloy and Keane can be added as well.

can't see the 2 lads being anything more than fringe players to be honest. great to see progression from the under 21s all the same. i thought cathal fahy might get the call up too.

**GuisaSaigon** · 13/11/2007, 9:46 AM

Yeah, forgot about Tracy, needs to start to make a dent in the 1st team next season, but he has looked promising. Haven't seen too much of the U-21's but looking at Vinny Fah I'd say it'll be a big step up for the two lads coming in, they'll have to be up for it big time.
