Just wondering whether people consider him to be a vital cog next season or that he's likely to never really return now given the last few years.
Adeyemi is clearly going to be let go.
Can you imagine Huws, Bishop, Nolan, Judge in League One! That's before you factor in the likes of Downes, Dozzell, Skuse, Lankester, Edwards, Ward and even Nydam.
I'd genuinely forgotten Huws in every single version of the squad I'd put together. [Post edited 8 May 2019 11:21]

Unless we suddenly give him a 'pay as you play' deal there is no benefit to keeping him unfortunately. |  |

I realised the other day that I'd just stopped considering him too. We just can't tell, so anything from him has to be considered a bonus. Get him fit and he's way above that level but a lot of time has passed since his injury and it looks a long shot. Can't expect anything, sadly. | |

Still has 2 years left on his contract as well. |  |

Who’s likely to want him? He’s here if we like it or not I’m afraid. |  |

Still under contract for another year but I'd be really surprised if he made another first-team appearance. Knee cartilage problems just aren't fixable by surgery or any other avenue (the cartilage in my left knee is in ribbons after too many knee injuries), so he's very unlikely to ever get back to playing regular first team football. |  | | |

Surely, we could have said the same about Bishop?
We haven't really got any choice but to see if we can get him fit during the remainder of his contract. There's little to no value to either party in settling his contract. The upside of course is that Huws could be immense in League One and we'd have a player of genuine quality and value if he can stay injury-free. |  |

Oh sorry I thought his contract was up. | |

Even if he were to be fit at the start of the season, which is highly unlikely, then you would have to question how long it would take him to get back to playing at a decent level and if he'd ever fully recover the ability he has.
Looks like he's here for another year, maybe the best hope is that he starts to play in fits and starts and we see some game time from him in the second half of the season, not sure we can hope for much better than that? |  |

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we take up Adeyemi's contract extension. |  |

Bishop just had a run of bad luck with muscular injuries which were, taken individually, relatively straightforward to recover from. Huws has a chronic knee problem with no solution, it's a different situation. | | | |

I would be very surprised given he's so prone to injury and we're pretty well stocked in terms of midfield options. | |

If it paid off he'd be like a new big signing in League 1. Like you and everyone i have misgivings that we'll actually see him again though. |  | | |

Sure. But players come back from those too.
Anyway, it's academic. We're contracted to pay him and rehabilitate him so it'll just be a bonus if he can get back on the pitch. | |

I’ve been saying for a year we should get shot of him ...anyway we can, and have been heavily ridiculed for saying so. So it’s interesting that a number of you only now begin to sing from the same hymn sheet.
Don’t get me wrong I’d LOVE him to come good for the Club, but he’s had injury problems since 2014. I really can’t see him ever putting in the number of games that our much maligned captain does! Having Huws on the payroll inhibits Lamberts spending power to get much needed players in. |  |

As Phil was mentioning elsewhere, Ward is the other slightly forgotten player. Not sure how his recovery is going atm | | | |

Financially it makes no difference to us, he's under contract and would want that paid up in full to leave. We probably have a duty of care with regards to treatment etc too.
Lambert's spending power will be exactly the same if he's here and there is a small chance we might actually get some game time out of him. | |

We'd just have to pay up the rest of his contract anyway - in terms of saving money, we'd be better off waiting and hoping that he retires and then the rest of his contract is paid out by insurance.
Your post is a bit daft - the issue with his knee is widely known, same as Ledley King, see Harry Redknapp's quote below. It will likely take superhuman amounts of discipline and pain and hard work to get anywhere near match-fit, particularly as a midfielder:
"There's no cure. There's no cartilage, nothing to operate on. It's just bone on bone. So it's just a question of managing it. It swells up after games and it normally takes seven days to recover but having played on Monday night he's had less time than usual. He rarely trains, he mostly just goes to the gym to keep himself ticking over. But not running or anything like that. But even if he only plays 20 games a season, he's worth having because he's so good we have a much better chance of winning." | | | |

People say this, but are we? If we are going to play 433 then we need 5 or 6 good midfielders for those 3. We have Nolan Bish Downes Skuse Huws and Dozzell. Skuse has been creaking for a year and who knows if or when Huws is ever going to be fit. | |

I actually saw him just before the Leeds game. He was walking down Princess St. looking happy as Larry. No sign of a dodgy leg. So that’s a plus I think. As to his readiness for next I suspect theres a way to go.
I find it interesting that Wards Cruciate injury is reportedly going to keep him out for a few months, yet Sears, with the same injury? Will be out for over a year...ie not fit until next December at the earliest.
As for Wards Town future, I think he will be possibly at risk of being released. To my my mind , we have better youngsters ahead of him. | |

What we do need, I think, is a rugged, fairly experienced and not especially exciting defensive midfield signing who knows that division. | |

The real and major problem here is Towns injury list and long term injuries
How long will it take to get some of these players back to match fitness only for them to get 'injured' again?
I hope that one thing PL will get stuck into is the way in which injuries and fitness is managed at ITFC | | | |

Agreed luv. In fact i'd like to see 6 players like that - GK, CB, FBs, CM and a CF. I'd put Chambers and Skuse out to pasture next year, not retire them but heavily rotate them. Chambers is a great bloke and a fantastic captain but he can't run. | |

I agree with this - we need one of those thickset, tallish defensive midfielders with a beard and tattoos and probably long hair in a stupid headband, who spends the whole game whinging to the ref, pulling shirts, leaving his foot in, pointing and shouting at the rest of the team, and generally being a d*ck, but actually has a decent touch and can spray it about a bit. | | | |
