Retained list released

[UNDERHILL1927]

Gutted for Sol, surprised at Bennett and what the hell was the point in bringing Jonny Williams in?

Retained list

Joe Bennett, Sol moving on. Along with Junior.

Possibly old news.

We would like to place on record our sincerest thanks and best wishes to @Sol14Bamba, @JoeBennett27 and @jnrhoilett who will be moving on this summer upon the expiration of their current deals.

At least 1 minute old.

Re: Retained list released

Sol and Bennett both past their peaks and might have been expecting large wages
We have to trim a lot of cost out
Willliams didn't really do that much

Re: Retained list released

Any surprises for the u23s and u18s? for those who follow it more closely than me.

I thought mcwilliams usually looked good, and dan martin

Re: Retained list released

Bennett is obviously unfit, until at least October, so not really surprising no new deal offered now. Perhaps if he proves his fitness something might happen later. Also hopefully Sol will return in some sort of coaching capacity, so that at least the fans can say goodbye properly to him as a player. Williams is odd, although the fact that he got injured within days of arriving wouldn't have helped endear him to the management or board.

I thought Dan Griffiths looked useful a couple of years back but seemed to go backwards (was he injured? I know he had a Welsh premier loan). I don't follow the U18s so much but thought Frazer Thomas used to score regularly (unless he only scored when I was paying attention and I assumed he did that all the time).

Robert Glatzel still for sale?

I'd be shocked if Bennett wasnt offered a contract but perhaps he wanted more ŁŁ or a longer term.

Hoilett as expected.

Bamba - can only presume he wants to play and we as a club don't see it. I just hope it's been done properly and we don't have any aminosity around it.

William is just odd. Mick said he was having an extension and no problem there when asked before last game.

Dan Martin is a bit of a surprise, as is Ben Margetson, not altogether surprised by Jack Bodenham and sad about James Waite.

Hope Sam Bowen signs the deal he’s been offered.

Joe Bennett signs for Middlesbrough, short odds.

I've attempted to map out how the squad is looking - suffice to say we have some work to do, but that was always going to be the case.

I'll add player ages and contract years remaining when I have the time, as there are a load of players OOC at the end of next season.

Re: Retained list released

If we really have got two more signings sorted, I’m hoping one of them is.a left back (we’ll miss Bennett).
