Not at all, never intended to suggest that. I do suspect it might be his way of subtly suggesting he's heading off. | ![](/images/avatars/1226.gif) |

So, I am trying to work out, if that's the case, what the 'stays and go's' within our squad will be. The following players loans are ending: Kurucz McConville Long Symes Darby P.Edwards Players I know/I'm fairly sure contracts run out (not including JLAA if he's getting new deal): Holden Amankwaah Holness Thompson Barry-Murphy Hackney Players who I'm not sure who's contracts are expiring or are on longer deals: Widdowson Kennedy Twaddle Gray Abadaki Players I am sure/I'm fairly confident are on longer deals: Grimes Tutte Jones M.Edwards Jordan Byrne Minihan Watson (Appreciate that the last 3 are youngsters and are unlikely to be first team regulars) Transfer Listed: Nicky Adams | ![](/images/avatars/1813.gif) |

Joe Thompson on 16:52 - May 4 with 4294 views | TomRAFC | amankwah and widdowson and both good fullbacks at this level and should definately be kept unless jc is bringing in another defender adnsees minihan as a first choice fullback JLAA should also be kept for his work rate but he and grimes aren't a partnership and require a quality target man to play alongside either of them | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Really don't rate Amankwaah, he's always got a mistake in him and he'd be on my released list. Would keep Widdowson though. Plus, I'm fairly sure Ste Darby will be released by Liverpool and genuinely think he'll be a transfer target as soon as that happens. | ![](/images/avatars/1119.gif) |

blackpool put in a very generous bid for darby at the start of last season and had it turned down. if he's released i reckon he'll be playing at a higher level | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Liverpool won't release him, they'll put him out on loan in the championship next year then look at offers after that I reckon | ![](/images/avatars/5861.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Joe Thompson on 18:57 - May 4 with 4076 views | Brierls | Would be sad but not surprised to see JT leave. It's probably best for all parties if he moves on, he'll always divide opinion here. Windowson has been poor this season, especially in the second half of the season. His heart didn't look in it at all. Darby was solid if unspectacular early in the season, but he faded badly as the season went on and was often a weak link identified by opposing managers. I wasn't surprised to see him dropped, and I doubt many on here would be so keen to sign him if he was on loan from Tranmere rather than Liverpool. Both Darby & Widdowson would be decent players in League Two, but I won't lose any sleep if I don't see them in a Dale shirt again. | ![](/images/avatars/1199.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Why do people seem to constantly say 'hope we dont become accy reserves and sign all ex-accy players'. I would have thought it was quite clear why he signed all the ex-accy players, we didnt have time to experiment with other clubs players who might come here and do a job, we needed the results instantly and coleman knew it took dedicated players to get out of this mess, not players who came to get in the shop window and are mostly self-centred, therefore he signed players who had worked for him in the past and knew would give him effort if called upon, unfortunatley it didnt work out. I don't care who we sign next year as long as they are comitted, good enough and want to do well for this club. | ![](/images/avatars/3164.gif) |
