Manning & Lati

[Ringwood Jack]

Anybody think we should stop picking them now if they are running down thier contracts with no intention of resigning? Martin keeps stating he wants to build momentum for next season.

 

[Itchysphincter]

Results always improve with Latibaudiere in the side.

 

[JustJack]

Ryan Manning has been outstanding and he will get a deserved standing ovation from the home crowd at what may be his last game.

 

[Ringwood Jack]

Not saying they should not play on merit , more a case of should we be looking at other options now?

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Momentum for next season the biggest problem for next season will be the yanks and the manager.

Ogbeta seems to have had a decent loan spell with Peterborough after a slow start, maybe he’ll just slot into Mannings role when he leaves, McFayden is highly rated and seems like he’s been around forever but not yet to have a chance.

 

[Pegojack]

I keep saying, no club in their right mind is going to sign Lati, he'll re-sign and we'll be stuck with him.
Manning will be offski.

 

[Skippyjack]

Latibeaudierre is proper sh*te at Wing Back, but he hasn't had a run of games to see what he'd be like as a CB in a back three or back four

Lati has arguably been thrown to the wolves waiting in the deep end with a bus incoming.

While his performances at wing back have been underwhelming (to be polite) I have plenty of pity for him as its not what he signed up for. Arguably the blame for this has to lie with the ownership and the board, however playing hardball and running his contract down isn't going to get him a better deal when he hasn't been pulling up weeds let alone trees.

Manning is the opposite end of the spectrum, his eye for a pass, his movement, his delivery, his ability to score and assist, how often he wins fouls etc are amongst the best in the division and he will be a huge loss.

Huge huge summer ahead of us with both first choice wingbacks leaving, Piroe almost certain to be sold because of one year left on his contract as well as several other players left with only one year on their deals too.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Next seasons side will look completely different to this, Lati and Manning going will be just the tip of the iceberg...

 

[Niigata Jack]

Next seasons side will look completely different to this, Lati and Manning going will be just the tip of the iceberg...

I can see up 6 going from first team squad, if not more.

Manning, Lati, Piroe, Ntcham, Whittaker, Pato [a maybe] Naughton out of contract, Cuddle and Sorinalo will go back, may even see a bid for Grimes and Ben as well [not sure what his contract situation is]
