Fergie has reported in the Free Press that we have been approached for one of our fringe players by another club.
Who do you think it will be? who would you like it to be?
My thinking is that it might be Mandeville or Wright, maybe Alcock, cannot see it being Beb Khemis( nobody has seen him play).
Mandeville fits the history of Fergie getting rid of the youngsters who were here before himself, Wright was playing well and could have impressed a manager who has noticed he is now sidelined.
Alcock is out of contract at the end of the season and could attract a division 2 club.
My tip Mandeville, if I was a manager I would not mind him or Wright, we have a history of letting decent players go cheap. What do you think?
-
If it is Joe Wright then whoever made that decision needs to be given their P45... Next Matt Mills IMHO if developed correctly... Selling him for peanuts would be idiotic
-
It's a player out of contract in the summer. My guess is Alcock.
-
James, I do not know like everyone else who it is, I just put out the names of the players not in the team at the moment(fringe players) who I think other teams might want, there are not that many.
Of the ones I have mentioned, the only one I would let go is Alcock.
-
5mins, is Wright out of contract at the end of the season?
-
Could it be Williams he does say that he has to talk with the other manager about where the player is at eg... Maybe his injury ?
-
who ever it is i'll have £5 each way on it being Mansfield - they promised signings in January way back in early December - Evans pulled out of resigning frecklington 10 minutes before the deal was to be done - Lincoln signed him pdq so Lincoln second favourites to be sniffing
-
If it is Williams which I doubt, that would free up a lot of wages & this should be put back into signing a recognised full back
-
Wasn't a dig at you Selby! more if the club felt like selling one of our top assets... In my opinion of course
-
You’d let Wright go? Crazy. He’s probably our most valuable player.
-
5mins, is Wright out of contract at the end of the season?
Technically yes but I think we have the option to extend.
Fergie would be losing the plot getting rid of our best young talent.
-
I reckon Alcock
-
Marosi?
-
It’s 95% going to be Alcock.
-
Etheridge?
-
The picture of Craig Alcock under the Free Press heading 'Fringe player could be set to leave' is a bit of a giveaway.
-
Alcock to Yeovil ??
-
Williams is still injured and I don't know what the situation is with Etheridge. I'd say Alcock must be favourite. Out of contract at the end of the season and well down the pecking order.
-
B.B. I hope so for the lad himself, as he was playing very well before the terrible tackle in preseason against Newcastle which he has struggled to get over,and has not seemed to be the same player since.
Getting a regular game could be just what he needs to get back to the level he was at before his injury.
-
Alcock to Yeovil ??
I've seen Yeovil mentioned. I don't know where that's come from though.
-
He used to play for them.
-
I wouldn’t class Wright as a fringe player, and I wouldn’t entertain selling him.
-
He used to play for them.
just checked who Yeovil play in fa cup it's only MANURE at home so £££££'s to spend is alcock cuptied answer yes he is played and subbed v ebbsfleet
last season we had eherington playing against arsenal -- weird the way fringe players get a glory match
-
I wouldn't class anyone who is regularly on our bench as a fringe player, as they can be called into the 11 at any time.
Wright? Not a chance unless its for decent money.
-
wouldn`t let Wright go no sense in that, odds on it`s Alcock.
-
Selby I enjoy reading your posts & think you provide a good insight but if you genuinely wouldn't mind letting Wright go i'm glad you aren't the gaffer!
It'll be Alcock. Williams won't pass a fitness test & Alcock rarely features anymore. All the best!
-
Hang on a minute, where did Selby say he was happy to see Wright go?
I've had my debates with the man recently but in the opening post he states " if I was a manager I would not mind him or Wright" surely this statement means that, if Selby were a manager looking to sign unwanted Rovers players, he would like to sign Mandeville or Wright because they are decent players?
I mean, it's clearly Alcock anyway but I can't see in this thread where anyone has said they think Wright should be allowed to leave.
-
Alcock and Etheridge. Williams in the Summer.
-
I think Selby’s point is that if he were manager of another club he’d be interested in Wright, not he’d be interested in getting rid of him.
Mind you, there’s no way you’d call him a fringe player either way - he’s firmly part of the first team picture.
-

I think Selby was referring to being the manager of a buying club, in respect of Wright, not as that of DRFC letting him go.
-
Stand corrected. Just re-read it and I got the wrong end of the stick.
Apologies! Long week and all that.
-
Before reading anything else, I thought Alcock,
Williams is injured an Wright isn't a fringe player and is too valuable to let go.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't Alcock.
-
Someone has misinterpreted what I have said, just to clear it up, there is no way I would let either Mandeville or Wright go.
I put their names forward because I think other managers would take a punt on them, and they are not currently playing a big part in the first team.
I cannot be any plainer than the fourth post in this thread, if people would care to read it more carefully.
-
I wouldn’t class Wright as a fringe player, and I wouldn’t entertain selling him.
Agreed. Not unless we get £750.000 minimum
He is going to be Championship standard imo.
-
If we are not bringing anymore players in DF said today. Then there’s only Alcock who we could afford to go.
There’s only one other way and that’s selling a player for a decent amount money who would have to be replaced and bring in maybe another player.

The thing is that unless a player is wanting to leave, so wouldn't be wise to keep them, most of the others are development players with a view to growing us toward the sustainable Championship challenge in a couple of years. I don't see anyone as definitely surplus to requirements, not yet anyway. Reassessing everyone at the end of the season may mean releasing a few, but right now they wouldn't have been given a full chance to prove themselves.
Unless there's crazy money being offered, Alcock it is then.
