What’s anyone’s take on the substitutes yesterday and the way they were introduced.
In particular when Young came on it was clearly mentioned it was his last home game for us and won’t be with us next season.
However nothing was mentioned when Keane or DCL came on.
I’m wondering if this is as they may have contract extensions offered but no decision has yet been made by them?
Any thoughts?
{Ed025's Note - i think their situation is in abeyance Dan, if we think we can get better for their positions at the right price then they will leave, but if not they will be given short term contracts until the right replacements can be identified mate, it cannot all be done in one window..

Definitely all can’t be done in one window.
Just thought it was interesting that Young not being with us next season was mentioned, however nothing about DCL or Keane and for that matter there was nothing said when Harrison came on.
Going to be an interesting summer for us.
Provided we’re stronger starting next season and make some decent recruitment I’m sure fans will get over any contract extensions given out.
{Ed025's Note - that may depend on who and how long the contracts may be Dan..

Would definitely like Keane and DCL gone in the summer with a few others, I think once the window opens we are going to be very busy with ins and outs.

I'd imagine it's because a) nothing has been decided yet and/ or b) nothing has been announced yet.
I definitely want Keane gone. DCL, I'm not too fussed either way, I wouldn't be gutted if he stayed. Whereas I'd be devastated if Keane stays.

I would be seriously underwhelmed if both stayed Jase.
DCL should be quicker out the door than Keane imo. Especially the way the last year or so has gone.
As poor as I think Keane is, he is never a problem. He conducts himself well and tries his best, even if his best is nowhere near good enough.
Holgate, Keane, Doucoure and DCL should be out the door at the first opportunity. That would certainly make me feel like TFG are not for d***ing around and mean business.
{Ed025's Note - i would like to throw Harrison in there as well...literally.. :)

Guess I didn't count him because he isn't ours Ed (yet) haha.

I wouldn’t keep any of the three loans we made. Send back and try again.

Think they included Young’s details of leaving as it had been officially announced Dan.
Like Ed said, they will be offered something if the money is right and we can’t get a replacement in. It’s worrying more than anything when you consider Harrison, Keane and Doucs might be offered extensions. I can’t see it myself. Coleman, DCL and Gueye I can see getting 12 months and us signing Alcaraz permanently but not the others. However, needs must. We’ll probably offer 5-6 extensions though not everyone will be happy.
Moving Young on is the right thing to do in my opinion. Forgot we had Holgate. Were West Brom relegated this season? I just assumed they were unless he didn’t play much.

No idea about Keane but DCL (always stands for Damaged Cruciate Ligament in my head now) and Doucs still have a paycut extension on the table if they want it, Young already turned down the paycut.

Nobody seems bothered that Maupay is heading out permanently, I wonder why ??.
