(I tried to fix the annoying layout that the club used)
I agree with all that except for Dan Scarr being offered a new extension. James Clarke I was 50/50 on whether I wanted to keep him but him going makes sense if we are to get rid of the memory of DC and his mates.
Not surprised by any of the names on the released list apart from Clarke. Maybe he has given the indication he wouldn’t stay, so they didn’t bother.
Hopefully Scarr will only be a squad player should he re-sign.
How many of these do you think will end up with Darrell Brent at Vale?
They released 15 yesterday and put another 3 on transfer list today.
I reckon James Clarke is already on the A500 and Gordon is just going past Gailey Island.
Maybe we have offered Scarr a deal as the club are going to try and get a bit of extra money in by selling a shirtless Walsall FC pin up calendar for all of those inclined. Only real explanation I can see.
Norman has never been rated by anyone in management. Bet Clarke wanted to move.
Suprised about scarr he has been poor
Leaves us with a very young squad and no strike force. Which is just what we needed!!!
Total overhaul fair play
I think Norman may possibly end up at Vale. Judging by his social media he used to live Wolverhampton way, but now lives in the around Stoke it would seem.
