[Dare to dream!]

Still think Mandeville will be here next season

[steve@dcfd]

So we will still have the three transfer listed players no one will want them.
Will be sent on loans to National clubs or below at the beginning of season. With DRFC paying majority of wages.
They could all still be here if we can’t get better.

[DonnyOsmond]

Its a kick up the arse for him. We'll see in pre-season if he comes back wanting it or not.

  My conversation with Fergie if I was Mandeville.
    I will turn up for training and give every thing I have to get in the first team 
 Mr Ferguson.
    Fergie,
            I don't want you here you have no chance, I have Alfie May and Kiwomya who are way in front of you as well as Alfie Beestin.
   Mandeville as he goes to the door,
           Yes but you may not be here after Christmas.   

[raggytash]

Can’t believe Alfie may hasn’t been listed, Id rather keep mandeville and says thanks to may.

[dickos1]

You wouldn’t get anywhere near managing a football team though

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Mostly sensible..I like Mandeville but you can see why he's been listed. If we are to kick on he has to be ruthless.

[glosterred]

Is this not the released list not the retained list?

Meh.

It would go to help if our preseason had some meaning . I’d sooner them play abroad and come back raring to go instead a tour of pathetic second rate none league sides who only want us for the money .

Brian, something tells me you've had bad experiences with gold diggers on dating sites.

[DonnyOsmond]

Alfie will be 25 by next season, he's not really young and full of potential.

[dickos1]

Depends who he signs, if we get another proven striker then we also need players who are there to push them two, were not going to have 4 experienced strikers are we, so marquis and another, with May and kiwomya pushing them and trying to impress off the bench

[steve@dcfd]

If he's going to be ruthless, then he actually needs to be ruthless.

May has potential, like Mandeville, but neither are really good enough to advance the club to the next level in the division, where it's competing for the play-offs.

One thing being Ruthless but strikers are the dearest commodity if we do transfer list two then we have sign three as Williams as gone so we’res the money coming for that. Some from Williams wages but we need at least one striker as good if not better than Marquis which will use most if not all of that.

[Copps is Magic]

Mandeville was going for millions (plural) just 1 year, 5 months ago. Now we'll struggle to offload him for free. Funny old game.

Is this not the released list not the retained list?


COYR

Meh.

Deeer the retain list is all those that are not on the released list or transfer list

[Brian Young]

COYR

yes you’re correct !!

[anton123]

Would of kept baudry

For me strikers young or older that kick on from league 2 have to have not only technique but a good work ethic.
He was overrated when we were in League 2 people’s expectations were wrong. I’m not sure even in the National League he would score 20 Plus because he would feel sorry for himself instead of getting stuck in and proving he can do it. That said I would love him to prove me wrong because when he was in the youth team playing just behind McKay he looked a very good player but he’s not kicked on.

By all accounts, Baudry wanted to go.

[DonnyOsmond]

Like I said... Meh.

[German Rover]

Would like to have seen the two young lads get a shot in the first team.  Its easy to say they aren't good enough when they havent had an opportunity to prove themselves.  Shame they've been released hopefully they can still make a living in the game, especially young Tyler Walker who has been a Rovers fan for years.

[Pancho Regan]

Would of kept baudry

have....

[RoversAlias]

Not sad to see any of them go. Baudry is a bit of a shame, and Mandeville a real missed opportunity but more from the lad himself than the club's side of it. Let's hope we can rejuvenate the squad, I have to admit I'm very glad to see true "dead weight" in Alcock, Evina and Williams off the books. No offence to the three as they did try their best but the quality wasn't there really, the decline in Alcock especially was alarming.

[Geoff Blakesley]

Would of kept baudry

have....

would have, should have, could have ...easy !!

[RedJ]

Not really sure why he's listed Garratt. Did alright in December, then seemingly chucked him under the bus and never gave him another chance for no apparent reason. Baudry has probably got himself a deal elsewhere which is why he's being 'let go'. The rest are no real secret or shock.

Couldn't HAVE paid enough attention in English lessons.

[Draytonian III]

Is the squirrel being retained or released

[ravenrover]

retained, his wages will only be peanuts compared to others
