Just that.
I could be way off the mark here but Peterborough have announced that Goalkeeper Jed Steer has requested that the final year of his contract be cancelled due to personal reasons.
He joined Peterborough last year in January after completing a 10-years at Villa. Player Coach?
Conor Hourihane says he has already sounded out several former team-mates regarding potential moves to Oakwell in the summer window.

Word on the street is that Gilks might be moving on so a link to Steer as the goalkeeping coach might have some credence , but I have not heard that as a fact just gossipOriginally Posted by POGGYWELL

KIEREN Flavell has signed a new two-year deal with Barnsley with a club option for another season.
The 21-year-old goalkeeper has been with the Reds since he was eight and broke into the first team earlier this year, playing seven league games.
His contract expired this summer but he has penned a new one.
Sporting director Mladen Sormaz told the club website: “It is fantastic to see Kieren commit his future at Oakwell after being trusted with the opportunity to develop in the first team under Conor (Hourihane) last season.
“Kieren extending his stay at the club signals an intent to develop homegrown talent and retain players who embody the identity of a Barnsley player.
“Despite facing setbacks in his career, Kieren has shown a determined attitude to keep progressing and we look forward to seeing his future development.”
Head coach Hourihane added: “I was really pleased to give Kieren an opportunity in the first team towards the back end of last season in tough circumstances and felt he rewarded my faith with a string of mature performances.
“Having him at the club in the future is exciting for our coaching staff as we keenly get to oversee the future development of a local lad who loves playing for his football club.”
Flavell added: “I’m buzzing to have signed a new deal at the club. This is where I want to be and where I want to play my football.”
The Reds are understood to still be in negotiations with winger Stephen Humphrys as well as a host of development players over new contracts.

Good news that Flavell has signed a new contract and hopefully this is followed up by securing the services of of our other youngsters who are showing progress , Bland , Yoga and Jalo all need to be under healthy contracts plus of course we have young Wilkinson who will be approaching full pro contract time and there may be others , we need these to be Barnsley assets for the the future of the club.

Good news about Flavell. I do think he?s possibly still a bit raw and I?m hoping he might get a loan move out this season. Maybe after January once the pizza cup games are done, if we don?t make it to the knockout.
I think I said it before but let?s hope Humphrys can make a decision soon ish both so we know where we are as a club and so he himself can have a proper pre season this time.
Jon Russell is a player that I would be putting a contract in front of. In fact, I would have done this a while ago given he?s only a got a year left now.

Agree about getting the talented younger players tied down. Although I think Jalo and Yoganathan both have contracts until 2028 so I don?t think there will be loads of rush for this just yet. It wouldn?t surprise me if we were offering a contract to Bland now though as I think he only has a year left.

I agree with you Nerth, I think in the short time Hourihane has had him in the frame his game has come on leaps and bounds , I personally see him developing as a midfield player but he has already shown that he is adaptable with his performances at right back.

Announced by the club today that Bland has signed a deal until 2028, with a year option in the club?s favour. Another good piece of business by us.
This weekend?s lotto numbers will follow shortly?

Yes we talked that one in, brilliant news , I am well pleased with that and I would like to think that Conor is starting to use his influence in matters or am I just getting a bit carried away but I do sense a wind of change !!!

Good news overall.
And yes your getting ahead of yourself Shads!
The real test will be judged by which senior players we retain, which are allowed to leave or force their way out and most importantly, who they are replaced by.
The latter statement is something this ownership have been particularly poor at in the past so time will tell.
Contracts in general run out tomorrow so there will be plenty of freebies on the market and that will fit our budget.
