Will they be moved on permanently? None fitted into Vals requirements. Schmidt Ritzmaier Simoes Thomas Christie-Davies Wolfe Aitchison And George Miller.
If we’re wanting to compete at the top end of the league then I’d say that none of them will come back due to either not fitting in the system, not being good enough or both. Although saying that, Sibbick came back from pretty much nowhere to start both of our playoff games so I could be completely wrong. The summer will give them the chance to be assessed again but I think if we get bids for Ritzmaier, Thomas then they’ll be off.
Sibbick came back from loan revitalised having been written off. Let’s not jump in with both feet some of those may yet make it.
I'm probably in a minority but I'd keep Schmidt, not as a starter, but as a poach a goal when we're on top type. He certainly seems to have an eye for goal but not the work ethic required to play long spells in the current set up.
Couple on that list weren’t meant to be first team players this season, so it isn’t a case of them not being good enough or not fitting in. Aitchison was always going straight out on loan as soon as we signed him. Wolfe is in with Moon for potential and the fringes. I want Schmidt to come back.
I think Ritz might make his move permanent. We’re stuck with Simoes and Schmidt, given their contracts. Miller will probably be paid off from the last year of his contract. Thomas’ future depends on his health at the moment. Lack of options in midfield at the moment mean that Wolfe and ICD will be given a chance in pre season. No idea where Aitchison fits in.
Always thought there was a player in there but not in our system. That said hardly been involved since March at current club
Yeah, I was just thinking you need different types of tools in your box ( Can't believe I just typed that, lol). No point having six philips screwdrivers and nothing else.
Some were sent out to get first team football. Happens in the development of most. Don't be too quick to write em off. Mowatt. although championship credentials at leeds Styles Williams Palmer Sibbick Ritzy and Scmidt I think have been given a fair crack of the whip whist here.. and I've not been overly impressed by either. I believe Thomas can improve. Hopefully with his mental issues behind him.
I'm quite relaxed to let the Head Coach make that decision. As others have said, he's definitely turned Sibbick into a much better player than previously.
Not easy to move players on, who is going to want em.? One of the things wrong with giving long contracts... Log jam.
Aitchinson might get 1 last chance out on loan Christie Davies will be gone hes 23 already and hardly made a professional appearance. Ritz will be sold as will Miller. Schmidt Simoes Wolfe Thomas will be looked at. Just a guess
