Would hope some of those will be gone in this window but not sure who will want to pick up the likes of Hawkins or McLeod unless they go non league. Agree with the above in giving Forster & FDM a new contract though.

Forster, Kuipers and El-Abd to be offered new deals (not saying that they'll all accept)

Hart, McLeod, Hawkins and Livermore to be told where to go.

Cox and Virgo have between now and the end of the season to prove themselves worthy of a deal (unless they get shipped out in the january window of course).

Kuipers, Cox and Foster worth another contract but all of them, only if the price is right, and now might be time for wag cut for all of them. Kuipers and Forster are not getting any younger and cox still has stuff to prove. The rest is thanks for trying but off to Aldershot, Eastbourne, Crawley or Dover for them

I thought that Cox got an extention of his contract at the same time as Elphick for another 4 years so as to take in the opening of Falmer.

1 year Forster and FDM, but they will probably want 2 years and 2 years for Adam El Abd.

Virgo see how goes in the next 4 months but for the rest thank you very much but goodbye.

Shame Cox can't get a bit bigger (in height),as I think that this is it for him at this level. Don't get me wrong he's scored some good goals and had some good games but I can't see him progressing much more beyond where he is now. Could be wrong tho'!

Couldnt disagree more. Maradonna was not too bad. Height is not important in football f the manager knows his job

We had the chance to sign Trevor Stevens before he went Everton Marseille and Rangers and played for England but the chief scout at the time said he was too small and advised Mullery not to buy him.

yep that sounds like the typical "english football person". Maradonna woulnt have got a game under two thirds of the white sock brigade in english football.. and we wonder why english football is light years behind razil and Spain

you do talk utter crap. There have been plenty of small players in the English league and the national team. And exactly where is this 'light years' behind Spain and Brazil. Nobody doubts they are both technically better than us but Spain have only won one tournamnet in over 40 years. Let's wait and see if either team crushes us in 7 months time.

If any of those are retained, then maximum 1yr contracts. That in itself will probably make them look elsewhere.

Fozzie deserves longer, but he's very near his retirement and more than a year will be taking a risky gamble.

You think? Thanks for that.I heard a scout say "cox was too sall" a few years ago. Not "he is not good enough because, whilst he has good skill he gets himself into trouble because he fails to look up and release the ball at the right time", nope it was just "too small". How many times have england won the world cup compared to Brazil. Yes Spain have under achieved but did you see the Euros that they won?Why are we "technically behind" other countries - its because our coaches like practical jokes and hoofing it long. Kids shoul play 5 a side and learn skills instead kids play on a full sized pitch and kick it long. Thank goodness for the likes of Wenger. The "English white sock brigade coach" have held us back for years. How many of the England team would get in the spain team and who would you drop from the Spain side?
