Torquay United Fans Forum

Well if Nico takes a back seat next season that only leaves Mansell and Poke who i would want next season of the players in contract regardless of what league we're in, plus the youth lads. Lathrope has been appalling, Craig has been unfortunate in the position he has been asked to play but has still been largely poor and Bodin doesn't even warrant an explanation.

Of the out of contract ones, Howe will go and i would want him to now. He has run his course with TUFC. Jarvis i think could do a great job especially in the BSP if he'd stay. Morris i would like to see stay along with Downes and Saah and also possibly Cruise and Leadbitter especially in the BSP. Show the rest the door at 5pm on the 27th.

Poke, Nicholson, Lathrope, Mansell, Craig and Bodin are under contract past the summer, as well as the youngsters Mackenzie, Thompson, Hutchings and Sullivan. So 6-10 depending on how you view the youth lads.

They say three on here:

it was also stated that contract talks wont start untill the season was over

yeah i thought it was two players as well, that site could be wrong

hahahahaha!!!!

According to this site: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/torqu ... _1218.html the players under contract for next season are:

Poke, Nico, Lathrope, Craig, Mansell and Bodin

I was just giving my opinion on the players. I don't know who are under contract though.
Looking at the article we apparently have NINE players under contract and have made offers to two other players.
Thats quite worrying because our team is completely bloody hopeless.

Nicholson, Mansell, Poke, Rice, Stevens, Macklin, Thompson, Bodin can all go!!

Poke, Bodin and Craig are all under contract for another year.

Oastler - no wonder I have forgotten him - Appalling - release

Poke - Decent keeper - Keep

Rice - Hopeless - we don't need two pro keepers in the conference, make do with the youth keeper - release

Nico - his legs have gone, but could he still do a job in the conference - release

Cruise - good on the ball,hopeless at defending - is he what we want on a load of park pitches - release

Saah - Keep

Downes - Keep

Maccdonald - Trier but thats about it - He isn't ours but wouldn't want him

Easton - terminally hopeless - release

Mansell - Keep

Stevens - great at roasting defences in the conference when coming on as a sub against amateur defences that had been softened up by Zebroski. Started the season as first choice winger. Has been crap since then - release.

Bodin - 70k - he is currently worth 70 pence - surely he can do better in the conference - Keep

Lathrope - Overated - release

Leadbitter - Bit part player who actually looks quick,has ability and could get better. Why doesn't he ever play? don't know the answer - Keep

Thompson - has shown an odd trait which is not normally associated with Torquay flank players ie the ability to beat his man - Keep

Macklin - he is like the postman on long term sick leave - has never delivered. Headless Chicken - release.

Jarvis - done ok ish - Keep

Howe - if he was jockey he would have been banned under the non triers rule. He will go anyway - good riddance. Some league two side will ultimately discover they have wasted their money.

Halpin - No thanks - Release

Morris - decent enough footballer but slow and has been injured all season - release

Benyon - could do well in the conference - I would sign him.

Yeoman - never rated him - but against Wimbledon and Rotherham - played really well - Keep.

I am sure I have forgotten some, but they are all rubbish anyway.

Dead right...is it time we get a more physical type of player?
Nicholson, Mansell, Poke, Rice, Stevens, Macklin, Thompson, Bodin can all go!!

Do not feed the troll.

Why would we talk about which players we are going to keep before we know which division we'll be in

Matt.

dont be a plank.................or should there be an apostrophe in DONT ????

Keep Downes, Saah, MacDonald, Mansell, Poke and possibly Cruise , Jarvis and Leadbitter should we in the BSP. Howe will be gone, Nico to retire or be sub and the rest can bloody well go and p*ss off!!
