Rhodes would be bad enough. Losing Moore and adding Waghorn as well as Rhodes would be a nightmare.

And if selling morrison does have to happen we would need to replace him - we clearly couldn't start a new season playing 3 at the back and only have 3 recognised first team centre backs in the squad. We probably need at least 5 - perhaps Pack can fill that role but that still leaves us short

Excluding loans, the only players out of contract at end of this year are:
- Bennett
- Hoilett
- Bamba
- Brown (his contract includes year's extension clause if we want to take it)
For anyone else to leave it will mean finding a buyer (and a deal clubs and player is happy with), loaning them out to an interested party and us paying part of the wages, or negotiating a pay-off.
Tomlin's most recent deal was signed when he was a key part of the team pushing for play-offs so I can't imagine it being the cheapest contract in the squad and playing record outside that magnificent spell is going to put off a lot of clubs. Do you think we'll loan him out to Peterborough again now they're back in the Championship?
Re: The expected Cardiff City transfer ins and outs this summer
Given our potential lack of funds - there are some interesting players out of contract this summer:
Scot Malone - Good option at LB lots still think we made a mistake letting him go
Kadeem Harris - See above
Juninho Bacuna - younger and arguably more talented brother of our own Leandro
Britt Assombalonga - lots of goals at this level
Joe Lumley - QPR Goalkeeper dunno if he's any good but look at his name!
Moses Odubajo - Solid Championship rightbak / wingback
Lewis Holtby - Would add some lacking vision and creativity to the midfield
Oumar Niasse - Didn't get a chance to play at Hudderfield but would be a handful at this level

Sanago was linked with us in the winter window before going to Huddersfield. He's out of contract this summer too.

Not me and Sheffield Wednesday fans can't wait to see the back of him

Cardiff City manager Mick McCarthy has said he is "really looking forward" to working with a fully-fit Lee Tomlin next season.

We're lumbered with him is what McCarthy must be really thinking to himself.

He's had more chances at Wednesday than he got here and he's failed miserably. I'm sure he's a nice lad and I wish him well in the future with another club other than ours.

I think it is understandable that people would have been happy for him to stay with us - he would have been a cheap option and he was always impressive for the u23s and could have developed further.
And while not making an impression at a relegated club doesn't mean he never will at this level - I doubt anyone would be too enthusiastic about bringing him back here.
I'd prefer to give game time to Colwill and Evans if we are cutting costs.

Harris is out of contact this summer. I wonder if he'll get another opportunity at a Championship club.

I seem to remember Warnock saying that Harris's wage demands were much too high when his contract with us expired a couple of years ago.

I think the problem was that his financial demands to Cardiff were too excessive for his actual standing at the club. In 2017/8 when we went up he plays 1 game + 2 sub appearances. In our year in the PL he started just 3 games with another 10 sub appa and one goal. Would have been a useful squad player , but apparently not for the money he and his Dad were expecting.
So we bought Gavin Whyte for £2m instead!!

He is one of those players who is not quite good enough for the championship even a poor championship side like Wednesday. Think he would be quite good at a league one side say someone like Ipswich or Portsmouth. Watched the Derby Wednesday game Saturday and was impressed with Adam Reach, much better player than Harris and has been linked with us. Not sure if he is out of contract but if he was available cheap would be a decent signing.

Adam reach is out of contract in the summer, and does have a bit of quality. he's played both left wing and left back, so could be ideal for the wing back position
