Raligt 2,541 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 A bit early in the season i will admit but had been playing on my mind. I have put their ages at end of season. Personally i would only offer Mcgregor or Davis an extra year, at a push Balogun if he continues to perform well The rest can go imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it may also depend on other players staying or going and what money if any is available for transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finny 5,456 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I would love to keep defoe as a coach in some capacity. Balogun as he hasn't let us down and a decent age for a back up cb probably on lowish wages and maybe mebude not seen much of him but I know there were high hopes for him at one point.

ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Davis will be kept on for another year if he wants to. Could see him and Defoe getting player/coach roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,350 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Depends if they win the league or not. Some might see it as having done all they can do, and call it a day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,495 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Unless Firth wants to leave I think he will get extended for the third keeper spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capetownbear 75 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Defoe is definitely getting a player coach gig (jobs for the boys days :P ) I would be very happy to see him move to the dugout next season and still be a 3/4th choice backup.. Balogun keeps performing and we really should offer an extension... Davis get s a contract for as long as he is fit enough and I think he will play a part next season too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,613 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 If we don't win the league im not sure the new manager will want any of them If we do win the league, 😁🙏💪then McGregor and Balogun for me, I'm not sure Davis or Defoe will have the legs for another full season, and the others can be improved on.

Bears r us 30,771 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 McGregor, if he feels he can still perform at his best at pushing 40 and Balogun for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swally 6,289 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 This is a question none of us can really answer. Depends on the fitness of the individual imo, not the age. If you ask someone like Defoe how he’s feeling physically and he tells you he feels great then that will impact your decision. If he’s still playing at a high level then why not keep him? If McGregor tells you he’s finding it difficult doing this or that and that he always feels like he’s carrying an injury then likewise you’d take than into account.

rangersross 6,530 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Don’t think it makes much sense to extend any of them. Balogun looks good but we want Katic and Edmundson to be right behind Goldson and Helander so they can continue developing. McGregor could probably handle another season but I reckon our plan is to make McLaughlin #1 and encourage McCrorie to start challenging him for the shirt. I’d love to see Defoe join the coaching team but maybe he’d rather move back down south once he stops playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Depends how they've played the full season. Balogun potentially. Davis and McGregor could have another year left in them. No idea about Mebude. The rest probably not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMunny 3,218 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I know its early to judge but tbh in the right role and on the right wages I can see the 4 older players staying on for 1 more season. Mcgregor Davis Balogun have shown so far that they can still contribute well on the pitch and no doubt off it, and Defoe in some sort of player coaching role will be very beneficial to our strikers imo.

Not for me. Kamara etc should have matured plenty by 21/22 and should be taking over from the likes of Davis and Shagger imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,473 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 New deal for Balogun, Katic returns and send Edmundson on loan for a season would be good business imo. Have Goldson, Helander, Balogun and Katic as our 4. McGregor... maybe. Davis... We should start preparing for life without him, but he has been good this season.... I would say if Zungu delivers and stays fit, then sign him and leave Davis. However if Zungu doesn't work out then maybe keep Davis an extra year to reduce risk. But I'm leaning towards a no either way tbh. The rest should go. Defoe has been excellent for us and could stay I reckon, but the wage is too high to be a 4th choice striker. If Itten/Roofe step up and show they're capable of being main men, then could maybe sell Morelos, go with Itten, Roofe and Defoe as 3rd choice and invest Morelos money elsewhere.

bgally 452 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Only the 2 for me , McGregor and Balogun. I'd probably have Defoe as player/coach as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
