Jimmy the blue Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well EFC we could lose eleven players in the summer, Baxter included...................... Our squad size could be allowed to get slightly smaller as long as the others remain fit. Nuno, VDM and possibly Carlo Nash could be surplus to requirements this summer, not one of them have done a thing for the first team. VDM's wages will free up some funds but the long term picture is rather bleak mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest efctaxi Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yep . A lot of players in need of decisions , and also half a dozen with only 12 months on their contracts . I have to say that I don't follow the reserve team at all now , but I'm curious as to who is worth bringing up to the next level , and possibly which academy players are looking as though they have a future . Any more Rooneys ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 He's at Accrington Stanley on loan. From the SPL to League Two in a year - I'm beginning to think he may not be as good as he is expected to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the SPL to League Two in a year - I'm beginning to think he may not be as good as he is expected to be I agree with you there Louis. Moyes seems to think he may still come good and he performed well at Gretna last year. That said whenever he's been on the bench he has not been looked at, he is too small but at his age he could grow a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
