Not sure Skipp and Hamza are rotten apples, they are just not very good.

depends on what you define as a rotten apple  RE: Hamza. Certainly made some decisions you wouldn’t want a young pro to copy…

100% this. Massively entitled, awful role model, three or four good performances in 5 years and has probably earned 8 or 9 million being utterly average. Get him gone alongside all the others. You just know he’ll have the captains armband first game of the season. Disgraceful. 

[Jattdogg]

Hamza isnt the greatest role model (we can agree on that) but i'd blame wages on Top and co. Can't fault a dude for taking a contract he probably never thought would be presented with. If someone offered me man united money even though I knew that I was worse than Patson Daka,  I would sign the contract any day. Hamza has always been lower to mid championship or league 1 level.

 

Side note, I think people put way too much into footballers or any sport pro as role models.

Two weeks into Martin's reign, and still no news on the retained list.

Just shared on Facebook.   Only two coaching staff mentioned- Rhys Owen and Conor Hourihane.

Just read a report saying Vestergaard isn't there at Seagrave and has been photographed today (3rd) at a Danish music festival 

 

Got to say, he's not easy to hide! No wonder there have been no photos in pre season of him

 

Him and Okoli should have been back with the group. Nowhere to be seen. Clearly going out the door imo

 

Same as Woyo

Talk of us ripping up his contract, so probably came to some agreement  with the club to leave.

Henry Cartwright away to Bradford on a permanent 

[Collymore]

So we will have £60m on saved wages and the transfer fees gained over the L1 season, that's taking into account Fatawu leaving for a modest fee. Obviously that £60m won't be available as a chunk but it should help running the club for at least one season in L1. 

 

 

The one thing I'd say with that £60m, it won't be like we're going to deteriorate by that amount on the field. There's not many football /sports teams  where you could cut £60m and potentially end up with a stronger playing side which just highlights the bizarre running of the club over the last few years. 

 

 

[Jonezy]

We have been relegated for months and we are now a week into July. Drain the flippin swamp. I understand we have players, that must be hard to move on, but come on; its been a major issue for seasons now and there must be ways.

Does that £60m take into account the costs of Seagrave, the academy and the womens team for the year too? I heard last season to run those three costs City £40m on its own

Anyone know what’s happened to Tom Wilson Brown? Seemed to be on the way out but not gone anywhere yet? 

[Lambert09]

Very quiet on the faes front. Might end up stuck here

I honesty thought he would be the first one to leave this summer. There must be zero interest in him.

Be a last minutes panic loan by someone.

Hamza is the definition of a rotten apple!
Crap player who has never been good enough at any level and has been hanging around for years despite clearly not being up to the required standard.
Constant rule breaking with awful behavior and absolutely no awareness of his actions.
Really needs to go this summer.

Couldn’t agree more - still need him , Mav and Reid at least out - add faes ans Thomas to that but not sure anyone is ever going to take the latter again

Can you imagine trying to compile a Thomas video highlights package. It would probably be long throws that come to nothing. I hope we have someone who can take a decent corner this season.

This must be about the 10th Italian club he's been linked with over the years...

Playing ability aside, it’s remarkable how many people discuss Hamza as if they know him personally and are intimately acquainted with his deepest character traits.
