[Davedee77]

interesting article about 12 players out contract. Should we be signing any up just now or risk losing them in January on pre contract?

For me:

Adam, Ashcroft, Byrne, Cummings and Mullen. Plus any of the promising youngsters.

Reasonable but with proviso fit !

Don’t see many, if any clubs queuing up for our players. Certainly be teams from the lower leagues if anyone did.

This topic will  completely undermine McPake and team morale IMO. Players start to worry about staying fit in case they are released. Don't think many will be encouraged to play for a new contract at Dens unless they believe  McPake is going continue to be the manager. How on earth does this topic crop up just now?

I guess if folk are out of contract then people will speculate- either negotiate a new deal or risk losing someone who can speak to other clubs in a matter of weeks. Happens every year. If it encourages players to try and impress ( us or other clubs) then that’s good. Doubt many pro footballers who are used to moving on etc are affected much performance wise in a negative way?

Would sell Cummings now… has done very little since arriving considering his ‘ability’ 

Was genuinely excited with him signing, but hasn’t produced the goods when playing…

JMP has made a lot of comments in not being a fan of massive overhauls

Looks like he may need to re-consider that stance shortly......
