You’ve forgotten Collins.

And Bale

Re: Retained list released

Echo earlier comment by Welshlad, hope the Sol situation was resolved amicably, I'd love him to come back in some role in the future.

Hopefully he gets his year or so of playing, maybe he'd have to drop down?

Bennett and Hoilett, great players for us, very light at lb.

All the best to all that have moved on.

and Tomlin

yeah I wasn't sure where to fit Tomlin in on that formation.

I can see us playing 3-4-1-2 judging by that squad depth through the middle and lack of cover out wide

and Tomlin

He’s not alone, Mick forgot about him as well

MM hadn't forgotten him, every press conference he would tell us that Tomlin wasn't fit (yet).

Re: Retained list released

I wonder where Joe Bennett will end up. I can't see a lot of Championship clubs offering a big contract to a 31-year-old left-back who will miss the first few months of the season recovering from a serious knee injury.

Re: Retained list released

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.

If Mick had given him some minutes in those last 2 league games at the end of the season he would have signed the deal by now. After watching his brother play in the under 23s until he was 22 and then fizzle out of the game altogether by 25 he doesn’t want to go down the same route. If he does sign then a loan to minimum league two club next season is a must for his development.

Shame Newport didn’t get promoted as a loan there would be ideal.

Wonder if Tomlin will be played while developing Colwill or if Tomlin is already effectively gone

Re: Retained list released

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

Smells of wage bill, all 3 high earners , all 3 at career ends, all 3 have had a few injuries that may become more regular as they age .

That book of Tomlin excuses is wearing thin .

Re: Retained list released

Joe Bennett signs for Middlesbrough, short odds.

He has an anterior cruciate ligament injury and cant play until October at earliest, so I doubt he would sign for anybody in that condition.

We signed Callum Paterson when he was injured and couldn't play until October

he did his in the December and if kept him out until the October, and he was in his early 20s.

Bennett has a lot more miles on the clock. it could be October, or or could be a few months more than that. if wages are tight we can't afford to be giving one of our larger ones to someone who won't be able to play for the first half of the season
