Johnson and Pato are staying extension contract triggered
And like Maddix says who the fluff is going to offer the rest contracts ? I'm hoping Dawson iorfa and bannan to some extent move on .

[Washington]

They have been offered new contracts, so still have to sign them.

And the key thing will be to commit or not by a certain date so that we can move on to other targets. An extension for DR may make Bernard re-sign and also be key to aiding early recruitment .
Lets hope DC for once actually sets a budget so the recruitment team can plan accordingly using a balance of out of contract/wages and a fee for someone like Ugbo. Also few more in the mould of Gassama and Musaba that have a potential for future profit rather than wasting money on panic loans like Fletcher and Hendricks.

You've got to wonder what Gregory did wrong to drop behind Fletcher in the squad. Fletcher is easily one of the worst forwards I've seen.
I suppose the loan needs to be justified with a squad place..

Pace and power dr was looking for counter attack football ..this was his only option last season let's hope we can at least make some progress next and not have to play this style all the time ..at least at home ..we need to take the game to the opposition but his hands are tied here as well with bannan .

[Statesideowl]

Far too one dimensional with Bannan, he either needs to shuffle on or have someone else capable of playing a good pass in midfield with him, like Poveda.

Bannan and players like him are still good for a few games but over the long run football has died along with these players it's all about pace and power ..it's shite

Stoke have signed Rotherham's keeper for 900k

Exactly, too many athletes with little to no football skill or capability.
