Spirematt's Out of Contract list for 2019 - German, Barry, Anyon (gk), Wiseman, Ugwu, Wakefield (youth team), Sinnott, Binnom-Williams, Brewster, Maguire, O'Grady, McCourt, Dennis, Willock, Hines, Kay, Dodds, Smith - is where our worries lie.
I make that 18 players. I count 9 I definitely really don't want. There is one we want to sell, especially if we could use the money for once. I'd like to keep German, Ugwu, Wakefield, Binnom-Williams, Maguire, Willock and Smith. BUT in the Juniors I'd like to give contracts to Ofoegbu, Amantchi and Rawson at least ........... This massively reduces our room for manoeuvre at this level as we only need 16 players for match days and small squads have to be the order of the day. We already have Whitmore and Rowley on even longer term contracts. And if it is true we intend to ditch Parkin we need to find two keepers whilst somehow losing Anyon ....... and I don't think he'll be easy to lose.
Someone needs to be really clever behind the scenes. Does AC strike you as that man?
