Dangerous game, waiting to see what division we're in. Surely Jenkinson isn't the only player he'd want to keep regardless of the division we find ourselves in? Please God not another new team shipped in over the summer!
I'm assuming that Worner, Reid, Jackson, McCormack, Benson and Abbott all signed 2 year deals... with the O/S change the old news articles from pre-FL days appear irretrievable.
Simon Francis definitely did, as did Gary Doherty.

Dangerous game signing players on long contracts ie Youga and Moutakill who then eat up wages and don't play.
If we go up we'll want better players.
If we stay down (which people keep saying is now suddenly OK and not a problem!!!!) then we can off load high earners and/or re-sign them on lower wages.

[cite]Posted By: LenGlover[/cite]I think Robbie and Waggy both have another year and expire in 2012.
Definitely true.
Just updated the list now.
The questionables are - Mambo, Perkins, Davisson, Tuna [who I'm assuming all end this summer] and Jackson, Benson, Reid, Abbott, Worner, McCormack [who I'm currently assuming don't]
From what I remember Benson and Abbott were announced as two year deals, Reid's definitely wasn't mentioned (and as I said the SLP suggested he was on a 1 year deal). Not sure it was mentioned for the other 3.
Adding the 4 youngsters to your list that makes 14. So it's about right, with probably 1 or 2 of the above. It does say "around 15".

I'm pleased to see we are trying to keep hold of Jenkinson. Could be a good future prospect.
Didn't the club say before the takeover they were trying to negotiate deals with Racon and Semedo..???? Nothing seemed to come out of that since the takeover.
[cite]Posted By: Crusty54[/cite]Looks like Solly has dropped down the keep list.
I feel for Solly. A longterm injury with a 1 year contract does him no favours.
I've only seen him at The Valley in the first team and I like what I've seen. He is physically very small though and that could count against him. Powell should know what it takes to be a good full back though so hopefully Chris has had and will get a fair crack of the whip now he is approaching fitness before the decision is made.
Solly may be pretty good, but from what I have seen of Jenkinson he's the better prospect. He's tall, quick, always looks for the ball and I would even go as far as to say he was our best passer of the ball on Saturday, not to mention the two cracks at goal he had.

Yea, but we've got loadsamoney now!
You reckon?
Not really - I have as much idea as you (or possibly less), but maybe the club has a bit more money and doesn't have to be quite so tight.
I would get semedo signed up asap (no matter what league we are in) but perhaps the man himself may want to wait to see where we are next season...maybe he will be moving on...
Comments
Semedo
Dailly
Fortune
Llera
Youga
Jenkinson
Solly
Stavrinou
Anyinsah
Tuna
Fry (loan)
Bessone (loan)
Eccleston (loan)
then the kids:
Mambo?
Perkins?
Davisson?
not to mention the 2nd year scholars

didnt know we had 15 contracts up at the end of the season.[/quote]
So who are the other 15?
- Racon, Semedo, Dailly, Youga I can immediately think of, but the others?
I presume a fair few reserve team players?
Good news. Wonder if Powell sees room in the squad next season for both Jenkinson and Solly.
Most players only have a contract for 1 or 2 years so it's not surprising. Just the way it should be at this level in most cases.
Anyinsah probably
Stavrinou
Worner possibly.
With Jenkinson on a 1 year deal I'm sure Tuna, Perkins, Davisson and Mambo are as you say.
Not sure whether Doc signed for 1 or 2 years.
EDIT: Same applies to Reid, Francis and McCormack. I know BWP signed 18 months.

Really elegant player with a decent touch
Won some headers
Comfortable on the ball
If he had Francis' crossing technique he'd be a player and a half!
Could be asolution at centre back in a while though.
