Karl's current loan Deal expires after next Saturday's match. I think Stoke should renew it if that's what Cheltenham want.
I think he is out of contract in the summer and I don't think Stoke will offer him a new contract so it is in our interests to see him playing as much first team football as possible to raise the interest of other clubs (including Chaltenham who want to keep him). If he leaves then, like with JOC we will be entitled to a fee in respect of his development - this will be set by a tribunal if the clubs can't agree. Should be worth £100k minimum in my opinion as he still has more potential than Goodfellow.
Your comments please.

In this cut-throat world of football, you have to manage your resources with an expert hand. We have invested enough in Karl for little return (I don't mean that in a nasty way) and it's time to move him on and replace him with another more proven midfielder. I'm quite excited by the possibility of Jay Denny coming through next season as he sounds a great prospect. Brian Wilson could still make it though.

Wilson's run and hard low cross from the byline to the near post (which Ade put wide) in the last minutes on Tuesday suggests that Wilson could yet be the answer to our need for a right winger, Mike. Stranger things have happened.

'Stranger things have happened.' Like what John Why can't Wilson hone his defensive skills and become a good, old-fashioned, attacking full-back?

I put on another thread Mike, that I'd be equally happy to see Wilson take over from Halls at right back leaving Halls to move into midfield alongside Eustace. I'd also be equally happy to see Wilson play as a winger - if Clarkey and Commons can do that I am sure Wilson can.
