So, Contracts 15:31 - Apr 4 with 4854 viewsCheltenham_Blue

In my opinion.

Aluko - 1 year extension
Norwood - 1 year extension
Carroll - No.
Jackson - 2 year with option
Kenlock - No
Clements - Trigger 1 year extension
Donacien - 2 year with Option
Simpson - Trigger 1 year extension

Have I missed anyone?

JD already has a new contract doesn't he?

Agree on all the others, apart from Norwood. I can't see him being part of McKenna's plans when he has a fairly blank chequebook in the summer.

Does he? I must have missed that. Good.
I just think Norwood offers something different if we need to win ugly.

Until Summer 2023 with a further 1 year option

I think we can do better than Norwood, without the baggage, and for much less money.

Don’t see Norwood being good value for another year at what he’s rumoured to be on.

Agree with all, although there will be a question mark around Norwood I imagine.

Agree with most.
But time to let Norwood move on.
We can aim higher surely.

Poll: Apologies I'm bored. How many signings will we have by Plymouth at home.

Agreed. Subject to:

i) Norwood not being on silly money. As said elsewhere, if he's on silly money we can probably do better. He's underwhelmed slightly of late, for me;
ii) Do we know for sure what Simpson's contractual position is? He must must must get some game time in the last few games of the season. Criminal not to.

I’d say goodbye to Norwood. Doesn’t offer enough and hopefully we can do better. Pigott the same. Simpson - if he wants away let him go. We don’t need anyone here that doesn’t want to be here. Ok with the rest.

Agree with all of that bar Norwood.

Couldnt go for Norwood either. In my mind he was always 'limited player, but effective at what he does and gets enough goals' but the goals just haven't come of late.

Albeit his 'playing ugly' stuff does seem to be an asset the team as a whole lacks, perhaps we need his level of aggression from someone who directs and controls it a bit more.

Assisted our winning goal against Plymouth and was involved in all of our big moments on Saturday. He's head and shoulders above all of our other fit strikers, and over a season he'll score more than Jackson will. It's not as if he's not offering the team anything and missing loads of chances, he's been given limited service.

He's also an experienced head amongst a relatively young squad and a talker. We've lacked characters and players with a voice for years and still do in my opinion. He's a perfect squad player.

Yeah a really fine example of a player for youngsters to look up to.

He's not offered enough for me and he's had enough chances over 3 seasons now.

We need and can do far better than Norwood.

There are far better strikers playing in L1 for clubs in lower positions then we are

And Norwood'll be 32 in September so unlikely to show any improvement.

So, Contracts on 22:40 - Apr 4 with 2089 viewsDubtractor

My thoughts FWIW

Aluko - 1 year extension, probably. Is he fit enough? Can never play 2 games in a week, and tends to get subbed off quite often. That's been fine this year, but another year on and his fitness will decline. I'm torn as I love watching him.
Norwood - No. We need fresh options up front, and he isn't really suited to McKenna's system.
Carroll - No. God no.
Jackson - Yes
Kenlock - No, it is amazing how long he has remained a Town player as he is a pretty poor player.
Clements - No. Just not good enough from what I saw earlier in the season.
Simpson - Trigger 1 year extension and hopefully sort longer term future after that.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.
Poll: How confident are you of promotion now? Predicted final position...
