Patrick Agyemang, Corey Blackett-Taylor, Rhian Brewster, Dajaune Brown, Matt Clarke, Owen Eames, Craig Forsyth, Oscar Fraulo, Kenzo Goudmijn, Max Johnston, Sondre Langas, Carlton Morris, Derry Murkin, Ryan Nyambe, Richard O?Donnell, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen, Dion Sanderson, Liam Thompson, Lewis Travis, Josh Vickers, Joe Ward, Jacob Widell Zetterstr?m.

Those in bold are players I think will either get paid off, loaned out or sold

First Team players out of contract and not offered new terms

Callum Elder, Ben Osborn, Jake Rooney, Andi Weimann.

First Team players out of contract and in discussion over their futures

Danny Batth.

First Team players at the end of loans with the club

Jaydon Banel, Ben Brereton Diaz, Bobby Clark, David Ozoh, Sam Szmodics.
Reports that BBD and Clark are done deals for returning. I can see us entering into negotiations for Ozoh. Banel will be a starter for Burnley next season. Szmodics? Doesn't fit the club's stated policy for transfer fee incomings. There's no likelihood of us improving him and ditto selling him for a profit so, I do not expect him to be with us next season.

very comprehensive MA and I suspect you are right about most of the italicised and loan players. Im a little surprised to see Elder binned he had a decent season but for the usual plague of injuries that beset the club. So we will need a backu up LB signed I guess as we cannot continue to rely on Old Father Time Forsyth surely? Be sorry to see our very own pony tailed Norwegian go. but he hasnt really kicked on (injuries again)

Would be nice to see Kieran Clarke getting a shot at the odd start in championship so we could have 3 Clarkes playing and totaaly screw with the minds of the Sky red button commentators who struggle with two same names.

Sods law says Elder has a great world cup for Australia and gets picked up for free.
