Good-he's not going to sign for us and we need to start planning for next season. Ditto the other loanees, if there's no chance of them joining permanently*, send them back.
*Other than Ward because we don't have any centre halves.
I'm loving Ward. Proper old skool centre half. Can't actually recall him kicking a ball yet as he leaves that to the fairies further up the park! and he's an absolute monster in the air. Would love to sign him for next season but I fear there's more chance of Parky buggering off than signing big DW.
now that the bell is ringing would there be any harm in releasing all loanees and start bedding the youth in for the remainder. I include Ward,Kandol,Buttercup
He was fairly ineffectual, TBH, but he seemed an honest, committed professional. Sadly, if Stoke stay up, can't see him having any future as a Prem player on the strength of what he showed us.

We don't have a fit centre half to replace Ward at the moment and if there is a possibility as Henry suggests of Ward or Kandol becoming permanent then it makes sense to keep them.
I don't rate Butterfield and would rather see us blood Solly, assuming Moo2 is definitely persona non grata and on his way.
mambo number 5 if ward wants to sign then keep him but push him for his intentions now if not let them go put holland at ch if there is no other choice whats the worst that could happen
As a big wage earner (allegedly), I thought he'd be one of the first contracted players we'll be seeking offers for.
Like the mid-field in your squad and would add the name of Holland to it. Shame about the defence (unless we can remove the question marks alongside the names of Fortune and Ward) and an even bigger shame about that free-scoring forward line!
Personally I reckon there will be quite a few new names - whoever is manager - that we can't even begin to guess at yet.

Don't believe ever thing you hear about players wages. Gray is the one still in contract we need to move on.
Fortune is out of contract so will depend on who wants him. Ward might require a fee. Even in League 1 we may still be more of a draw than some CCC clubs and be able to afford better wages (if we get a big ST renewal)
Not sure about Holland. He's getting on and while he might take a pay cut we do have a lot of decent mid fielders (assuming we keep those named about which is by no means guaranteed IMHO). Keeping both Bailey and Racon will be a huge boost. Racon must be starting to attract interest and Bailey's goals will mean that everyone in the CCC has noticed him.
That forward line has it all. Pace in Dickson and McLeod, Height and power in Kandol and McLeod and even Dickson, a bit of guile in Burton and some tricks from Dickson. The only, very minor, problem I can see is scoring goals but you can't have everything ; - ) And I didn't include my best mate Stuart Fleetwood.
And there are always some loans. And before you all shoot me down one or two season long loans could really boost the squad. Ward might be one and I would love to have Waghorn back. There will be other kids at prem clubs who could come in.

Could we afford a fee and his wages? Doubtful but one more reason to renew my season tickets is that we just might.
Liked Soares. Only a shame he could have had more of an impact. Another one I can see being available to a CCC club.
Kandol and Butterfield? Wouldn't be surprised to see both here again next season.
yep they are bad enough , sign em up ;-(
If somebody teaches him the offside rule over the summer then Kandol would be good.
I wouldn't say no to Ward either but Butterfield can go back to Palace as far as I'm concerned!
I'd be happy with that

Also agree, send Butterfield back to Palace ASAP...

Solly and Miller for me but can we afford him
8 defenders
8 midfielders
2 keepers
4 Attackers
That's 22 players plus some academy kids like Mambo
Elliot and the guy from Thurrock in between the sticks
Solly, Clark, Basey, Hudson, Semedo, Youga, (Fortune??) (Ward??) at the back
Toks, Wright, Jon Jo, Bailey, Racon, Spring, Staveniou and Sam in the Middle
McLeod, Burton, Dickson and Kandol up front.
Well, doing that has cheered me right up. : - (
Me too - particulalry that prolific forward line...
