Mark Harris offered a new deal. Why?

Personally I would have kept Phillips, I think he’s better than the other 2

Agreed.

How much say has Bulut had in this retained list?

Very little i would have thought, unless he's been watching a load of video recordings.

Don’t get the hate for Mark Harris

Let’s see how he does with a target man.

He was doing everything on his own before.

Good luck to Tom Sang

I was even thinking he's had no say at all, as it was all done and dusted before he was appointed. That's a bit of a shambles.

I don't hate Harris, why would i? I just thing that he's very limited and offers very little in attack, he's not a goalscorer or a link up player of any sort. Haven't we seen enough?

Very likely.

Re: Retained list

If Bulut likes to press in the opposition half or final third as most places seem to suggest Harris is a fine squad player. He's just never a out and out striker or a goal scorer like he's had to try to be at times in the past 18 months due to our questionable squad building.

Re: Retained list

Think Jones, MacNamara and Pritchard are a little unlucky to be released by the under 21s. As for the seniors, no surprises for me, still think Harris can be a Championship standard forward, Bagan was treated poorly last season and King seemed to have benefitted from his time at Crewe even if his form tailed off somewhat towards the end of it.

Re: Retained list

Thought Pritchard was a decent prospect, also wasn't Leahy at one time pretty well regarded- seemed to be pretty noticeable when I was able to watch the u21s towards the end of last season and at the start of this one.

What makes you think Harris can develop into a championship level forward? He's played 95 games for us in all competitions Bob, i haven't seen all of those games, but what does he have that can make a difference, because as a forward, he has to have that on times. I can't see it, although i can understand why people like him. He works very hard and his best asset in my opinion is his short runs across the line of defenders, but all so often he's reactive, like the rest of them.

Fine? By Championship standards (which seem to be getting worse), I'd say he's a bang average squad player at best.

Harris is 25 later this year. He's not some raw teenager. I'll be amazed if he improves significantly at any stage. Of course, it's not beyond the realms of possibility, but I just can't see it. The fact that he's been offered a new contract does not inspire confidence for what lies ahead.
