It was like being at Disney land ride reading that, great fun until you land back at base and your into a shop selling merchandise.
DorransI really can't see 10 to 15 players leaving in the summer, no way are we going to have that level of overhaul when we're quite clearly on the right track now.
The only one there we'll miss is Kent and maybe Fod (good backup keeper to have).Dorrans
Wallace
Fod/Alnwick
Hodson
Kent?
Coulibaly
McCauley
Herrera
Dodoo
Holt
You've got question marks over Docherty and Rossiter, literally any of them could leave and while most not even on the fringes of the first team we'd need to replace some of them to up keep the squad.
Those guys above are before the possibility of a big bid coming in from one of our better players.

Fod,MacAuley,Worrall,Wallace,Rossiter,Docherty,Dorrans,Coulibaly,Grezda,Middleton,Lafferty,Morelos.
And that's assuming we don't sell Barasic and Tav,while also retaining Kent on loan again mate.
I'd expect at least ten-twelve out the door.

How could I forget him...?Agree DG. Could easily exceed 10 players. You missed Worrall btw.
How could I forget him...?
As a side view it's fucking frustrating feeling like we need to rebuild every year. I'm hoping it's finally sunk in that quality is best. We should be in a position where we have guys who are making the first team but have someone ready to take their place when they drop.
ie not Andy Halliday waiting to replace Barisic (not a dig at either player we just need better/an improved performance level)
Some will go on loan mate,and the two outfield players you mentioned in particular have a better chance of coming back than others for the first team.I like Wes,but he'll only have a year left and deserves to go and play as a number one.I’d keep Wes, Greg & Middleton Cav. I’d rather give the two youngsters their chance to prove themselves, or otherwise.
And I’d love Alfie to stay, but business is business & if a 15m bid comes in its a very tough ask to the board to keep him imo.
I left them out on purpose as I don't think it's even up for debate mate,just a question whether someone takes them on a free,needs a payoff or has another loan somewhere.DeeGer has a few out on loan as well. Hodson, Herrera, Holt & Dodoo. You can add them to your list ( I hope ) Cav.
Exactly what have most of those players that I've earmarked for departure done for us in the last few seasons. We've maybe not paid much on transfer fees but the wages it would free up is crazy.Agree completely. I’d rather have 5 / 6 less in the squad, but ramp up the quality.

I can't see a scenario where Morelos stays tbh,13 million or so with add ons and he'll be gone imo.
And we could do a lot with that money in improving the team overall.

Get rid of for exaDorrans/Herrera/McCauley and you've got the wages for a top player which could make all the difference in exchange for players who've offered not very much. (harsh on Dorrans as it's injury related I know)
Unless we're making a healthy profit on Barasic I'd be loathe to let him go after just one season-better players than him have taken a good while to settle having been nagged by injuries(I'm old enough to remember a certain Mark Hateley).I don’t disagree on both. I like them both, esp Alfie, but the times probably right for both to go.
It’ll be interesting what happens with Borna & Eros. Not convinced the boss is a fan.

That said,if his attitude has indeed been lacking as been suggested it does not bode well for him as the gaffer does not appear to suffer fools gladly.
And he needs to do thing his way,as at least he has the fans' backing.
I think you're getting your Kloses mixed up.Well if any fucker suggests KLOSE!!! A 40 year old coach then I will be pretty shocked.

Hodson will be out of contract so no need to try move him on. He's already basically gone.
Think him, Wallace and Hardie are the only ones in that situation though.
Quite a few players have one more year after this. Holt, Alnwick, Dodoo, Herrera etc.

Be 10 going at least got a sqaud of 36 contracted first team playersI really can't see 10 to 15 players leaving in the summer, no way are we going to have that level of overhaul when we're quite clearly on the right track now.

It's the boy from Norwich I assume .
Timm Klose, Swiss CB from Norwich.
Big, strong, good in the air, range of passing...
Ha! The merchandise is one of those ones, if I can help raise money for RYDC then I will do my best Every penny I raise goes to them & we are just under £6k donated this year
I hadn’t realised this had been posted on here as I don’t really stick my blogs up here, thanks for all the feedback & everyone that has read it
The following & support is fantastic & genuinely astounds me everytime
What a rancid shit hole Scottish football now is.According to person I know that was there he was booed on Saturdays match & at awards pretty much ignored & shunned by everyone there, suggestions there was light ‘booing’ on his name being mentioned
Guy on Rangersradio last night saying we are after Weiss
I know i know !
Same guy that says McCrorie wants to leave
I was looking at the players Norwich signed from the Bundesliga 2 for 1/2 million, some decent players who have them top of the championship, perhaps a market we could look into.

J.F.Kwhich guy, mate?
Beerman is out of contract this summer.Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, I think a lot of players wont be here next season. Wondering what everyone else's thoughts are?
End of Loan:
Worrall
Kent
Coulibally
Davis
Sold/End of Contract/Released
Fod
Dodoo
Holt
Herrera
Alnwick
Wallace
McAuley
Hodson
Dorrans
Possible Loan Out:
Robby McCrorie
Barjonas
Rudden
Hardie
Beerman
Unsure what will happen:
Morelos
Lafferty
Grezda
With this I think we will need about 4/5 quality first team players in and a few squad players for next season.
