Well not EVERY fan... I'm not entirely sure @micra will be (metaphorically sadly probably these days) jumping up and down over the news. For one I am really pleased that he has re-signed as it will allow the great @micra vs the Gasroom debate to rumble on unabated for another season at least*. I do love a little bit of continuity....
*Oh and of course the FACT that he is a damn fine centre forward (albeit one who has underperformed in terms of their goals scored this season. Apparently).
Obita will stay I reckon...left side cover if nothing else (and I'm not so down on him as some) not sure about Taffs if he thinks he can get a birth at a higher level. If Gmac wants to stay he will as well, I reckon. They all seem to be enjoying themselves at AP and they are probably too old for any other teams above or pushing for promotion to take a punt on.
Tbh I'm not massively put out or offended by it, as I'm also on Facebook and twitter so get to hear pretty quickly anyway. They don't go to spam I've checked, also the emails they send asking me to upgrade or buy stuff always manage to get through OK, funny that, but never had any player news stuff
So maybe next the STHs will get the injury news first? (Ducks for cover)
In all seriousness, amazing news to wake up to. I have gone from "I can't believe I get to see Sam Vokes in a Wycombe shirt" to "I can't believe Sam Vokes is likely to make over 100 appearances for us"
@ReturnToSenda is one of the better posters on the gasroom. I for one appreciate his input. He is also one of the few posters who is not afraid to have an opinion that is different from the rest but is always happy to debate.
I also like @ReturnToSenda and his obvious wide knowledge of this footballing lark, but I must admit, he seemed to me to be relentlessly negative at the start of the season...the start of a Wycombe Wanderers season as well!......which was why I thought I was obviously out of kilter with forum life and took a sabbatical from being facetious to @aloysius !
Important to try and bring in Vokes' heir this summer too imo, so they can learn from the great himself. I mean, we only need to look at the last few weeks to see how horribly short we are there anyway.
But as compensation we will be signing every player out of contract back on!
There needs to be 1 or 2 game changer new guys too though, unless the thinking is that this gang would have comfortably been playoffs without all the upheaval. As if we do miss out, by definition what we have in the building wasn't quite good enough.
It would be good to have an update from one of our more knowledgeable contributors regarding who is now signed up and who is not. I would love to see some new blood and as per @ReturnToSenda, I would like to see a Vokes understudy signed as we haven’t got anyone in that position if he sustains an injury and I suspect he will sometime during a season.
We have a core of a good team with Scowen, Vokes, Wing, Wheeler, Grimmer McCarthy and JJ but I am not sure who else is already contracted for next season.

I think that's a lost cause!
It's fine, I was having a bit of moan. I'll admit I've been in a bit of a mood ever since Gaz left, but this is clearly great news.
I was only joking, obviously. I like RTS’ input.
what have saucepans got to do with it!

I see that Max has been chosen for the "Knowing Me, Knowing Blues" segment this week...
That's brilliant, was really worried we'd be losing him. Top stuff
Max next please

Not all season ticket holders were the first to know, I've not had one single email yet letting me know about All the new contracts
Sorry to hear that and I’m sure Alan Cecil will help whe he reads your post.
I'd firstly check my spam folder then maybe check what email address is associated with my ST account.
Not sure the gasroom is going to solve your problem otherwise. Although @ReturnToSenda was quick to update us all on the news.
With 3 post game interview slots to go I do wonder who we will announce we will be retaining.
It's a bit like in real life, the people you get on with and like etc, are the ones you can give a little bit of ribbing too.
That's how I can be with say @ReturnToSenda, @Wendoverman and @micra
The posters I've not got a second of time for I stay proper away from. Proper.
Obita will stay I reckon...left side cover if nothing else (and I'm not so down on him as some) not sure about Taffs if he thinks he can get a birth at a higher level. If Gmac wants to stay he will as well, I reckon. They all seem to be enjoying themselves at AP and they are probably too old for any other teams above or pushing for promotion to take a punt on.
It's funny how things have moved from worry at JJ playing left back, to him basically playing 10 or so games in a row there fairly decently.
I wonder what Obita has done too, he's been out ages.
He's talking about me folks

I think Vokes might spend another two seasons at Wycombe now at least

I know the klaxon sounds if you comment on south facing hand signals, but why would anyone regard this as worthy of a thumbs down?
Ahem! Credit where credit's due!!!

This is great news . Now for GMac.
Important to try and bring in Vokes' heir this summer too imo, so they can learn from the great himself. I mean, we only need to look at the last few weeks to see how horribly short we are there anyway.
Should be noted that he's younger now than Bayo when he signed. And he lasted 6 seasons!
Genuinely thought you were describing a different type of hand signal for a second!
@ReturnToSenda can claim ownership for the view that this pre-season coming was likely to see some sort of absolutely incredible mass clear out.
I was far from the only one!
Maybe this is my anti-jinxing in effect again. We are definitely NOT going to sign Lionel Messi.
That probably is a stretch.
But as compensation we will be signing every player out of contract back on!
