Retained List

[sinkov]

Someone has their work cut out at Burnley FC this summer. 12 players returning from loans, contract offers to Jay, Charlie, BPF and Josh, Tresor and Esteve made permanent, trying to make JBL and Assignon permanent. Add to them 19 other senior players under contract leaves us with 39 players on our books. I assume Wout will go and probably Mellon, Dodgson and Costelloe will be back out on loan. That still leaves us 35 players, meaning quite a few are going to have to be shipped out before we can make any new signings.

We look top heavy with mediocre players, best of luck to whoever is charged with sorting that lot out.

Spot on Sinkov, "Top heavy with mediocre players", says it all imo. Too slow, poor technique, can't beat a man. How do we unload? God only knows.
