Retained list

[Adz]

My guess on the level they end up at

Arthur Janata - southern league

Dale Gorman - national league south/north

James Alabi - national league south/north

Matt Harrold - national league

[Beradogs]

Sorry that we couldn't sign Cisse permanently. Apart from that, it's a pretty predictable list.

IMO we have the players to challenge for a top 3 place, if they all perform as they are capable of doing. Its the man (manager) management I have a concern about, will RE be able to get the best out of this bunch?

We don’t have the players to challenge for a top three place.

Hope I am wrong but all looks very mediocre to me. Bright sparks at the last part of games we played last season were the performances of Cisse and Ruel and for the moment, looks like Cisse will not be with us and Ruel out of contract and in negotiation with the Os but also open to offers from other clubs.

[DuvB]

Going to miss Sterling.

How can you miss someone who never even turned up. Oh, thats your point.

[Disoriented]

I miss Ebou.

[PutneyO]

"Ross Embleton on departing O's players"

If anyone should be departing it's Ross

He will start the season with us, whenever that may be.

[KC & sunshine band]

no mention of Noah vale - consistent last season

Yes, he should have been gone a long time ago.

[Dohnut]

Ah, the Ross our stuff kicking off again. Normal service being resumed all over the place.

Dale Gorman did well for Newport. Hope he ends up there

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Agreed with others - the squad overall looks really weak, as it stands now.

It's nowhere near as strong as the one that finished as Champions in the national league.

The only real highlights from last season were Vigaroux, Cisse and Ruel - it's imperative that we get Ruel to sign, and do everything we can to get Cisse in. I'd imagine money won't be an issue for either, it's just if they fancy the current set up or not.

He did and was getting a consistent run of games only for this Pandemic to strike. It all depends on were clubs are at financially coming out of this period.

Fair analysis here.

Brophy was the standout player imho - especially given the way he was mucked about in terms of position.

What evidence have you heard or read that makes you believe in that ?

Gorman has not been offered a deal by Newport County.

Shame. Under normal circumstances I’m sure he would be offered a deal but is victim to the lack of money around in lower league football. For those lucky enough to get deals, the money will drop. For the rest it’s the dole queue.

Who can criticise players for taking what they can when opportunity comes along.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Under normal circumstances he'd still be a NL North/South player.

[Eat The Rich]

As of the youths, all of Rhys Byrne, Will Sanders, Bradley McLeneghan, Jeremie Sivi, Jordan Adeyemi and Lawrence Hammond are out of contract. Hammond has confirmed that he's been let go but there's no confirmations on the status of the others. If I was to guess I'd say that goalkeeper Byrne and midfielder McLeneghan will be kept on and the rest let go.

[faith1234]

All the player's that have been offered new contact's will take time to sort them out as of this cov thing.
Time will tell who and what we get in
