Suddenly just thought - shouldn't Dave Richards be on that list somewhere?? Surely he's not still in contract????
How do people get 10 under contract? By my reckoning it's 14 including the extension (our option), plus the 2 Academy leavers offered terms:
Keepers: Booth & Richards (said to have been given a 5 year deal by Dave Artell .... ?)
Defenders: Cooney, Williams (extended - crucial year for him to show he can play a season before turning into the second Chris McCready), Demetriou (re-signed), Finney, Billington
Midfielders: Thomas (re-signed), Tabiner, Holicek, Lunt, Powell, Agius (signed on 18th birthday in Academy)
Strikers: just Tracey! Key area for signings even if some of Long, CBR & Nev do sign. Will young Allport come through the Academy successfully?, he's got his second year coming up.
Will surely sign: Dancey & Robinson
Forgot Richard's and the 2 x signers, so including Tracey, yes 14. So excluding Academy (there is a rule we have to include some of these in the 1st team squad, unsure exactly what), we need up to 12, say 4 from Academy, so 8 players.....
Triggers on his way to Dundee United
For good?
One of the 5 down, 4 to go. Hope the recruitment team have an extensive list.
