Broady, Aarts & Pickett re-sign

Great news on those 3.

Remaining OOC are Egg, Garthwaite, Miller, Houli and Markov (going)

As much as I like him, there could be worse things than Houli leaving a year early so we can keep Markov.

Aarts - 2 years seems generous
I would have given him a 1 year contract. Not convinced yet, and his finals performance was representative of my concerns with him, so would have given him a year to earn his next contract.

Sensational news. If we can inject RCD (into the midfield you idiots) next year and perhaps some help for Jack we can easily do it again.

Thanks MrP, Houli obviously isn’t going anywhere, I think I’d rather have kept Turner then the others, however I’ll trust BH over me every day of the week
 
this makes me so happy.


'if they both stay, I am extremely confident we will win the flag in 2021'

lmfao you be extremely confident of winning the next 3 if we’d just delisted Martin, Lynch and Grimes :mhihi :mhihi :mhihi

great news. 2 tough hombres.
happy for Aarts, who's no slouch, put in plenty of good work when others weren't available this year.

Likewise, especially in the current environment. Is he a much better prospect than Higgins or Markov? Certain?

There's a few guys who are looking very lucky to me.

But great news about Marlion and Broady. Well deserved.

Yeah I think the other 4 will all go if we don't trade Higgo.

Consensus seems to indicate a decline to 40 on the list, we are at 41, if we plan on taking our 1st, MRJ and Baxter (anyone heard if we are taking him) so if we take 3, we need to drop 4 off the list.

I reckon if list sizes weren't reducing we would have kept Turner, but too many of his type and he's the one out of contract, unfortunate for the kid. He's still very young, doesn't turn 20 for 2 months.

Stack and CJ could be interesting list choices too. I’d keep both

I'd have thought we'd have heard by now if they were going to be sacked.

Dimma has continued to state the same thing around "they will be very good players for us for a long time" so I don't think they will be sacked.

I believe they were doing what they needed to be doing , so fingers crossed

Sounding like Oleg and Higgins going, but great to sign Broad, Aarts and Pickett.

Hope Pickett is getting a good deal.

You do wonder sometimes at who stays and who goes, I suspect this is not just the choice of the club as some players and their managers might be harder to sign if they have other offers and/or see better prospects elsewhere.

Losing another 2 very good clubmen in Oleg and Higgo it seems, but keeping 3 others with Nathan Marlion and Jakey
 
Stack and CJ could be interesting list choices too. I’d keep both
I think the club has got around them and they will both get another chance.

CCJ wasn't likely going anywhere being contracted and even moreso once Soldo went down.

Stack was the question mark and probably still is.
