One way door (The Exit)

I read worrying news on Sky Sports this morning, that Semedo has been offered a lucrative deal from Greek side Atromis FC.  I really was hoping Semedo would sign for us (perhaps he still will?), but the lure of a new challenge in sunnier climates, on a package that may well go some way to setting his future up for him and his family post football career, would be just too much for the most loyal League One club players to resist.

There have been rumours, and I say rumours, because nothing has come out of official lines of communication from the club, that Anysiah and Dailly have been released. Oh to have a Dailly five years, no even two years younger. Again in an ideal world Dailly would still have the legs and be happy to take yet another pay cut to stay a bit longer. And Anysiah, unfortunately, joined us as a bit of a crock, and seems now to be one of those injury prone players.  Shame again, on the occasions he was fit enough to play he put in decent hard working performances.

Reid has apparently gone as well.  (People seem split on this one, but I say good riddance to a player with potential but a dreadful attitude).

What surprises me is those that have not gone yet. Francis, McCormack, Racon, Doherty.  I know it's early days, but sometimes, a bit like when Eddie Howe turned us down, it seems the new board are a bit presumptuous that who and what they want they will fall into place with ease. And they do not even have a plan B. (Hence Sir Chris rocking up).  I do hope this is not the case with any transfer targets. Or we could end up with another squad of 'make do's'.

It all certainly seems to be one way traffic going out of The Valley at the moment.
