Release List

[baggieal]

Anyone know when this is expected? We know players are contracted until the end of June.

The sooner the better though so plans can be made with the clear out!

[stargazer_1962]

No idea.
I'm trying to remember last season.
I think it comes out in dribs and drabs, possibly players who re-sign coming first as 'good news'

[baggieal]

Must be confirmed by this Saturday 16th May and hope we are brutal.

Must be confirmed by this Saturday 16th May and hope we are brutal.

The number of those leaving certainly presents us with an opportunity to recruit hopefully both better and cheaper but, as I posted earlier, aside from O'Leary, the rest are all attacking players who have been first team choices when fit. If we are to continue playing a 4-4-2 (which I believe we should) then that's a lot of players in forward positions to have to replace. I can see us offering maybe Maja or Dike an extension if they will accept one on much reduced terms with a bonus scheme.

Speculation in some sections of the media about us being interested in Sunderland GK, Anthony Patterson. He may be better than O'Leary but the asking price is a mooted ?8m. The silly season of speculation and rumour is underway!😁

[Leicesterbaggie]

Still no news with only a day and a half before the decisions have to be made.

[baggieal]

Please not Jed or Dike! Please 🙏

Just hope the expensive salaried players who are out of contract are not staying. We will not move forwards otherwise.

[Prando]

Presumably, the Imray release, is a constructive manoeuvre to achieve an affordable contractual acquisition?

On loan players have to be released Prando but you would hope we are talking to Palace. Hope there are no redundancies in our treatment room with Wallace and Dike going 😭

[baggiematt]

I didnt think we would lose all but expected the club to have the objective of seriously decreasing the wage bill. Wallace, Dike and reduced wage deals for Maja and Grant will do just that.

Grant and Maja are good players on their day, but there are still concerns about how many days this will be with both having injuries and inconsistent form. We were never buying 6 players without a significant player sale and sales dont look on the horizon, so I suppose this makes sense.

Thanks baggieal buddy. Surely…surely we will be pursuing securing Imray permanently?
