I would be delighted if Rafa got rid of even more dead wood.
So far so good as far as outgoings are concerned.

I wouldn't. Anyone who is even remotely straight swappable with Deggen shouldn't be anywhere near our squad never mind our team. When your mate looks at your car three weeks before its MOT and tells you to out it 'cos it's fecked, you don't sell it then immediately put an add in the paper looking for another one with a dodgy gearbox.

Deggen was right back cover. The kid Derby looks good enough for that role to me, save ourselves 38 grand a week and move on.

Guess depends on who we can swap with .

Stuggart were a very good team last season under Babbel and qualified for CL .

Good luck to anyone who signs him,they would be well advised to bring in an extra physio table cause this poor fella spends 95% of his career on his back and the other 5% running about the pitch looking like Forest Gump on acid!

All the best lad,thanks for the memories!

In some ways its a shame he didnt get a chance because of injury cause we he has played he looked pretty useful as opposed to be utter toilet .

Well toilets are pretty useful, but in terms of being a footballer he is garbage.

Can that really be judged on his performances Mick ? seeing he only played was it 4 games for us and looked decent in a couple of those .

i thought he looked decent going forward too... defensively he's even worse than dossena and johnson...

All the best atleast now hopefully Kelly and Darby will get more of a chance...

The bloke looked like a headless chicken and couldn't defend for toffee in between times of keeping the physios hands warm.
