I think out of the 30+ players on our books about 5 are under contract next year.
He was probably going to Cheltenham then.No it wouldn't, we used to get players on loan from Cheltenham. I remember the likes of Josh Low, Ben Cleverley, Michael Whittington and Michael Taylor for example. In fact it was only 11 years ago that even our player/assistant manager Jerry Gill was on loan from them.
Michael Taylor - was that the centre-back? We had him from Blackburn I think.
So from our out of contacts here ;
Lloyd Jones - Would offer something, but think he'll get League 1 interest on a free
Alex Jones - As above
Alan Sheehan - Quality, but spend 2/3rd of the year injured and don't think he'll recover. Release
Steve Arnold - Not able to dislodge an awful keeper. Release
Ryan Watson - Will attract League 1 interest, but would keep if he wanted to stay
Cian Bolger (option) - Release
Mark Marshall - On balance, release as his age is getting in his way
Ricky Korboa (option) - Release
I imagine Harry Smith and Matty Warbuton will be transfer listed.
Leaves us with one Centreback, two fullbacks, three mifielders and two strikers, along with no manager, so another very big rebuilding job again.
When we had him on loan in 2016 genuinely thought he could have gone on to big things however then went to Bradford and spent almost the entire time since out with various injuries. Shame as he is a clever player and excellent finisher just one of those players it's always a risk signing him because of availability.
I think today may well be what has sealed Monty's fate I suspect with us and we will be parting ways after next weekend.

Cant see him judging him on that surely? It depends who’s coming in I guess. It will certainly be interesting.
Worrying about Gibbons though, doesn’t sound positive and after losing him for most of this season if he’s out into next that would be a huge blow. Arguably as good as any right back at this level and been a huge miss.
Was told last night that some don't seam to be on anything more than month to month contracts now? and over half the players from yesterday won't be there next season.I think out of the 30+ players on our books about 5 are under contract next year.
Excellent summary.
Not arsed about Happe going as I’ve always thought Ekpiteta made him look much better than he actually is. If we manage to keep hold of any of the rest of the ‘big 5’ I’d be surprised and delighted.
With so many players leaving I’d be tempted to keep hold of - no fainting in the back - Louis Dennis. Clearly has ability and positional versatility. Terrible run with injuries. Still think he might come good.
Not necessarily. But spending 3/4 of the season playing tiki taka and playing with a back four including two wing backs before realising that our staff are best suited to 3 - 5 - 2 formation does not inspire confidence in BBM!Rochdale definitely changing manager then?
After the last few weeks I'm in agreement, we have 7 players for next season so have something to build around. Been obvious for weeks virtually the whole of our team will gone soon.Changed my mind. Fuck the lot of them off except the keeper (who we won’t keep hold of anyway).

Sam Sargeant is the last one - at least we have a keeper.........Who exactly are the 7? Thompson, Sotiriou, Kyprianou, Cissé, Kemp, Ogie and who else? Because to tell you the truth, that isn’t much to build around.
Abo Eisa, Alex Gilliead, Kevin Van Veen and Olomola all confirmed as gone and were left out today. Eisa and Gilliead were two of our best players.
We have an option on one of our CBs Jacob Bedau but we cannot afford to exercise it.
No idea what kind of team we are going to be able to field.
Eisa is a very good player, just inconsistent like any winger/attacking mid at this level.Eisa is a surprise, he has always been brilliant against us. Whether that is just due to our failings I don't know but the goal he scored at VP was an absolute worldie.
We will probably know more with ourselves by Wednesday though I will be surprised if any more than a few of ours get offered deals. Pope has played his final game for us am sure and in all honesty it is the only decision you can make there. Some Vale fans would be offering him "one more year" in 2050 but objectively if anyone saw him today he is finished.

I’d take Eisa!
Pope looked done, maybe wasn’t fit though he’s only played about 10 minutes in four months I guess.
Hard on the heart to say but probably the right time for him to leave. Our only real legend of the 21st century and deserves all the plaudits, the goals and records for his boyhood team, proper fairy tale and that moment at the Etihad. Those 33 goals in 2012/13 (not a single penalty). Love him.
McKirdy will be gone, did nothing today, all be it in some kind of weird position of wing back.
Olagunju won’t get a deal, he was like a baby foal.
Looks as though Montano is off and would release Cullen, Guthrie, pay up Whitehead and maybe Burgess.
Let Crookes, Fitz and Mills go.
Keep Brown although was poor for the third today, Joyce (but get a younger player to compete in that position) and if Monty wants to stay keep him.
Legge one year, tempted to keep Bris.
Clear out time. Build around Conlon, Smith, Gibbons, Worrall and Rodney.
DC interview suggests to me the clear-out is coming. Sounds like he was keeping his powder dry on this until the season ended but a lot of players are going to be looking for another club in a day or two and I'm in favour to be honest. Further sign to me this is the man we need at the top who is prepared to take the proverbial axe to this squad.
I would be surprised but you never know!Nothing official as yet but someone on OVF who is almost always spot on with these things has said all of our out of contract players have been let go so looks like some big changes are coming with our squad.
Would imagine there will be an official announcement this evening or tomorrow but only one that really would sadden me is Scott Brown. Been a great keeper for us though he has declined somewhat in the last year.
I'd keep both Brown and Visser, Visser is decent back up and Brown is a good keeper but I guess it depends if DC has someone else lined up.Vale fans: The problem with letting all the players go is finding replacements .
Scott Brown, decent keeper, you know what you are getting but replace him with a keeper let go somewhere else, an academy kid or a lower league punt and suddenly you don't feel as secure.
Not having a go at you as such but it is a quandary for all us teams without lots of dosh to splash around.
