And Wilkinson!!!

[southendo]

Gone to Walsall

[Max B Gold]

I like this clearing out of the dead wood by Jacko.

[Adz]

Urgh, none of our good players signing back on, gonna be an almost completely new team next season

[Beradogs]

Craig I snapped their hands off when they offered me 2 years Clay the only one to sign. Wilkinson and Brophy will both be missed.

Hardly. He waited for Kenny Jackett to come in before signing.

[Beradogs]

No. He signed before Jackett arrived? Could be wrong.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Ah f*** it. Another massive loss.

And Walsall? What the actual f***?

[Cheshunto]

Brophy is a bigger loss for me, but Walsall for Wilkinson, that’s a surprise

[o-no]

Anyone know how many goals we scored this season departed this week?

All of them.

I didn't realise he was already 26, I thought he was younger. Really not fussed about this, I think Kemp is better suited to playing as RW and Wilkinson's lack of flexibility position wise meant he was only ever able to play that specific role. Has a lot of talent but didn't put in the graft with us to make the most of it. Dreadful in the air for a player of his size, not particularly quick nor strong and doesn't seem able to play as an out and out forward.

[jamespevans]

Our most talented and frustrating player, in equal measure.

[cymruO]

I may be naiive but I'm surprised that Wilko and DJ still wanted to leave, in spite of O's having a new and well known manager, clearly aiming for promotion. Did KJ let them know they weren't fitting too well into his plans, better off somewhere else, they were most likely to be bench warmers next season? If that was what he thought of our 'top' players, who's he hoping to bring in?

[Monkey Boy]

Talk about rats leaving a sinking ship,however not to worried about this one,Brophy more of a loss but it looks like the keeper may go now,and that would be a loss if it happens?

[faith1234]

God knows only time will tell

[JimbO]

Jury was out on Wilkinson for me think there's a good player in their somewhere but didn't seem to produce it regularly enough for whatever reason.

[Bergen]

I am sad to see him go. One of our best players last season. Also a very strange move.

[gshaw]

Pleased about this, a lazy player who didn't want to put himself about or work for the team. Would rather miss a shot than help a teammate to score and never tracked back either.

Brought in as a striker and decided to play himself out wide, part of why the team was so unbalanced last season stemmed from that.

I reckon most had made their mind up to go in the second half of the season. Their body language and attitude when they surrendered the chance of the play-offs and McAnuff's comments about them at the time gives a bit of an insight there imo.

Decided to play himself out wide? Really? And the managers had no say?

[tuffers#1]

Good to see Kenny clearing out those that were
NOT GOOD ENOUGH last season .

Looking forward to the Calibre of player
That he will be bringing in .
Proper Hard working strong all round players
No doubt .

[banqo]

Don't have a problem with any of this , Jackett knows what he's doing.

[Chicken Dhansak]

I will miss all the blasteroonies from Wilkinson.

Remember the Embleton interview where he said "Connor wants to play out wide". Player told the manager where he was playing.
