Yes agree... We haven't seen anything like the best of him, but I agree in L2 he could be very decent and hopefully physically stronger after his illness. Yep, we haven't seen the best of him but I hope we've seen the last of him in a Rovers shirt. Like so many others this season, he came with great expectations and like so many others he delivered precious little. Why would we reward such performance with a new contract? To be fair to Oztumer he was just starting to find his feet when he contracted COVID19. It’s clear that the virus affects different people to different extents and it looked to me that it took away his gas tank. He was trying to do things that were in his compass before and he wasn’t able to produce. Dead ball situations might have been one area he could have still been effective but he was already behind Westbrooke and McCormick there. Unfortunately for him we can’t keep the spot open to someone who might get it back but doesn’t have it now.

Danny Hylton would be interesting. He hasn't scored much at all for two years in the Championship but has a proven record in L2. Might be a good option to finally get us some goals, for a season or two anyway.

Stephen Humphrys from Rochdale would be a good signing, but I think he moved to them because he wanted to move back oop North, so unlikely. I saw a article about Stoke and some other Championship sides lining him up for the summer, but he is contracted until 2022. I'll be interested to see how much they get for him.

Ha! Yes I think Upson gets targeted unfairly but he’s out of contract (?) and I believe we could get better... you could argue Martinez would be a better prospect? Or Liddle? Or Mehew? I put him in because I saw on Twitter yesterday Upson had been given a years extension to his contract Gawd..... I bloody hope you’re wrong 😑

I bloody hope you’re wrong 😑 If Upson has been offered an extension to his contract I honestly think I'm done with things ... Absolutely one of the many reasons we are being relegated. Wow ... I am shocked, please let this be wrong.

A different dodgy twitter account also linking us with George Moncur from Luton.

Any of these players catch the eye? Jamal Blackman (Chelsea, out of contract), Arthur Okonkwo (Arsenal, out of contract), Jack Bonham (Gillingham, out of contract), Ben Garratt (Burton Albion, out of contract), Lawrence Vigouroux (Leyton Orient, out of contract), Jamie Sterry (Hartlepool, out of contract), Joel Senior (Altrincham, out of contract), Anthony Driscoll-Glennon (Burnley, out of contract), Steve Seddon (Birmingham City, out of contract), Lewis Gordon (Brentford, out of contract), Liam Gibson (Morecambe, out of contract), Callum Connolly (Everton, out of contract), Ro-Shaun Williams (Shrewsbury Town, out of contract), Will Boyle (Cheltenham Town, out of contract), Dan Happe (Leyton Orient, out of contract), Lloyd Jones (Northampton Town, out of contract), Josh Sims (Southampton, out of contract), Josh Bowler (Everton, out of contract), Callum Wright (Leicester City, out of contract), Jack Roles (Tottenham, out of contract), Danny Mayor (Plymouth, out of contract), Josh Morris (Fleetwood, out of contract), Sean McConville (Accrington Stanley, out of contract), Scott Twine (Swindon Town, out of contract), James Henry (Oxford United, out of contract), Gwion Edwards (Ipswich, out of contract), Jodi Jones (Coventry City, out of contract), Barrie McKay (Swansea, out of contract), Carlos Mendes Gomes (Morecambe, out of contract), Nicky Cadden (Forest Green, out of contract), Randell Williams (Exeter, out of contract), Charlie McCann (Man Utd, out of contract), George Moncur (Luton Town, out of contract), Josh Sheehan (Newport, out of contract), Callum Guy (Carlisle, out of contract), Elliot Embleton (Sunderland, out of contract), Matty Lund (Rochdale, out of contract), Bryn Morris (Portsmouth, out of contract), George Marsh (Tottenham, out of contract), Danny Hylton (Luton, out of contract), James Wilson (Salford, out of contract), Connor McAleny (Oldham, out of contract), Louis Moult (Preston, out of contract), Nathan Broadhead (Everton, out of contract), Jerome Sinclair (Watford, out of contract), Gary Hooper (Kerala Blasters, out of contract), Gary Madine (Blackpool, out of contract), Benji Kimpioka (Sunderland, out of contract) Some very good players there pirate. At least we know where we will be playing next season which answers one question. JB and his court case must be another however much people seem to be ignoring it or just brushing it under the carpet. I’m presuming Wael has plan B for the worst case scenario. Anyway of those players it would be very good, probably impossible, to get Josh Sims (Doncaster will surely be in for him), Scott Twine would fit the younger player profile if that still exists and Randell Williams from Exeter. But McAleny, Connolly and Josh Morris might be more suitable targets as they know JB. I guess for some players that might work in our favour but it might put others off! But get 3/4 players who go straight into the team with the best of what we have, Leahy, Jaakola, Nicholson, Kilgour (with the right partner), Grant and Rodman with a full pre-season and playing on the front foot things could be very different. Westbrooke could also do really well with the right midfield partners. I know they say if the money is right players will move but we’ll still face the same problem of location and now we’ll have to overcome the thought of playing in League 2. UTG!

Interesting to read in the Sam Frost Q&A that no one has a relegation release clause in their contracts only financial clauses. Really thought that some might have 'done a Lockyer' but it seems not. I am sure its a good thing, others might argue that it might have been another way to clear out some players Thoughts? Not sure what you mean by 'done a Lockyer'.... His contract expired and he signed for a different club.... Lockyer for charlton when they got relegated. Not Lockyer for us bud

I like the fact JB is trying to do some business early, a sign of getting who we want rather than take who is left

We were linked with Moncur last year, Tanser is another left back 😂 Not another one lol Well I suppose Kelly will be gone, Koiki has had a knee op and is out of contract in the summer as is Leahy although with the right contract it is suggested he stays (Probably can almost double/treble his wages given his decent season and club captain) If all of them go then its down to Dave Tutonda and Ryan Jones - thoughts?

Can t see kioki is out of contract and be interested to see how good Ryan jones is the fact posh were disappointed gives me cause for optimism, he is a kind of new signing. Can see Tutonda going out on loan.

I have adjusted my estimated squad and contract situations in light of more info coming from the Bristol Post etc - again I am not 100% sure about these but I reckon its damn close to the decisions the management team need to make this summer: Attachment Deleted

I'm still not convinced about Leahy as I don't think defensively he is good enough. Pretty much always caught out of position and doesn't stop enough crosses into the box. I think he would be better further up the pitch and let someone else do the defending. But who knows he might improve in League 2 if he stays.
