He’s shown he’s more than capable.Two playoff defeats and hes been a senior member of a squad of nearly men for seasons. Despite playing well agaisnt gyokeres he hasn't the consistency to become a top centreback

Akpom has already had his contract extended by a year. Carrick confirmed that a while ago so he will be staying. I would be surprised if Jones went as he's not been as good a player as he was the season before and I think the summer will be big for him if Carrick can get him playing the way he wants to. I would be amazed if Fry leaves.I think we may have seen the last of Jones, Crooks, Bola, Akpom, Fry and Fisher.
Let Scott and a Carrick do their thing to rebuild the squad and maybe even take a look at what Martin Payero has to offer the team.
I can see us cashing in on akpom whilst his value is as high as it probably ever will be.Akpom has already had his contract extended by a year.

Fisher is in the final year of his contract I think.
What I think last nights result showed is how much we rely on Howson in midfield, I don't think Mowatt plays as well with Hackney. Howson just gets the job done to the point you don't realise he is doing it. Barlaser is getting more effective but he's had a stop start half season.
I would love to be able to keep Giles, and Ramsey. Not sure whats happened to Archer, he's been fantastic but off the boil the last few games like he was biding his time. All three have been key to our success. I can't see us keeping Ramsey and Archer, but Giles I think we have a chance with. Steffen I was unsure about, but he has been great for us by and large and he has already said he wants to leave City in search of regular football. I'd have him back here.
McNair was another I was unconvinced about, but in the first leg and for most of last night he schooled Gyokeres and kpet him quiet. Was really impressed and I admit I was wrong about Paddy.
Forss looked tired but he's a fantastic threat out wide.
Not consistent enough for me, never has been.He’s shown he’s more than capable.
I’d have like to have seen him in smiths role once or twice.Not consistent enough for me, never has been.
Wouldn't be a cash in though would it. We'd have to spend that outlay and most likely more to get a better player. The proverbial unicorn.I can see us cashing in on akpom whilst his value is as high as it probably ever will be.
We need better than Smith.I’d have like to have seen him in smiths role once or twice.
He’s been out training on the grass for a good number of weeks now - albeit away from the main squad.Wasn't there stories doing the round he wont kick a football again?
I’m not convinced by him..I think Barlaser will get a lot of game time next year, and really come good.
Give it time.I’m not convinced by him..
We were miles better last night when he replaced Mowatt. Hackney and Barlaser will be our central midfield next season, trust me. And it will be class.Give it time.
He wasn't better than Mowatt in other recent gamesWe were miles better last night when he replaced Mowatt. Hackney and Barlaser will be our central midfield next season, trust me. And it will be class.
Yeah, his first touch is always excellent and always wants to look to go forward and he's got the technique for any type of pass.We were miles better last night when he replaced Mowatt. Hackney and Barlaser will be our central midfield next season, trust me. And it will be class.
Like McNair, he's one I'm not in tune with many on here about.Not convinced we will lose Fry, what makes you think that?
We need more athleticism at Cb, people that dont get bullied by players like Gyokeres and Morris. Need a bit of ability as well obviously but I’m sure we can find them.I would peddle McNair as well and get two new quality centre backs in
Barlaser reminds me of jacob butterfield completely ineffectual in a championship battlefieldi just dont see it with barlaser. He just seems like one of them nothing players. Came in at a great time when we were playing well and had a few cameo opportunities and a few starts. Everything should of been perfect for him to make an impact but hes so underwhelming, really disappointing. i cant see him being a big part of the squad moving forward.
