Our retained list has been announced

[Brin]

Glad Hull he's still here for now. Ferguson can only have taken option on him to get a fee for him. Still some dead wood needs removing.

gru, he's not 'dead' but Wood has already left.

So who are your new targets Pep? Who's case should we expect you to be on?

Didn't mean Wood. In retained list.

Perplexing how anyone could expect the club to announce players leaving that are still under contract.

Interesting that we have decided to keep Fergie, wouldn't of been surprised if he had moved on given his lack of durability. Pleased he is staying mind.

Presumably the next stage for ourselves and other clubs will be to name those players "available for transfer" which will probably be announced when the summer transfer window opens.
I guess we all think there are quite a few players on the initial "retained" list who are simply not up to Championship standard or won't figure in MT's plans for next season and will be told they are free to look for another club.

Nope, it’s because Taylor likes him and will want him to be part of things next season. At 32 we wouldn’t get more than a nominal fee for him anyway do that won’t bd the reason.

Of course. But those who are expecting to hear that with the announcement today are wildly off key. They need to realise today is purely regarding those with contracts ending this summer. It has nothing to do with who, under contract beyond this summer, we will keep. I know you know that but having to explain it is a tad daft.

Players fit enough for all the season in certain positions have a physical presence.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Brin Richard Wood just me can't fault him for us but I'd have kept him rather than Peltier. Blackett or Morrison can only have one sat in sick bay most of the season. Hall & Bailey Wright agree get shut.

Any chance we can get shut of some dead wood from our support too
