EFL rules are clear in that clubs must officially notify players by the third Saturday in May, with clubs involved in play-off campaigns given extra grace; with the deadline extending to four days after their final match.
With the deadline tomorrow i guess someone from the club will make an announcement today ?
Doubt it, they haven’t announced the retained list as early as this for two or three years. No doubt they let the EFL know within the deadline, but, lately, it’s been another two or three weeks before they let us plebs know.Quote:

Dalman said the other day that only 2 or 3 of the out of contract players were likely to stay. If Ralls is 1, who would the other 1 or maybe 2 be?
I would hope Rinomhota - he would be a useful squad member in League One.Quote:

Deboys probably.Quote:

He's out of contract so won't be.Quote:

Rino probably won't be on it but could still sign on.
How do you know?Quote:

Depends what Paddy up his sleeve. The mastermind behind such signings as Jesper Daland, Wilfried Kanga and Ethan Horvarth has his waysQuote:

Is Evans' contract up for renewal? I haven't really seen enough to judge, but if he's not starting for a 22nd place League Two Newport, then I don't know. Then again, I have defended Reindorf, but he was in a higher division at least.
Keep Rinomhota, I'm fine with keeping Ralls on for veterancy, the rest can go.
Ramsey stay? I bloody hope not!Quote:

On the occasions when Ralls is fit, he's going to be picking up yellow cards constantly by grabbing hold of players who go past him with ease.
We never learn at this club. It's already been announced that we are going to reduce the size of our squad - it means it's vital we don't carry any passengers.
Any club wanting to trim its squad has to focus on players who (a) have the ability to play in the manager’s preferred system, and (b) the proven fitness levels to last the season.Quote:

Ramsey and Ralls won’t last the pace.
We have Joel Colwill and Eli King coming back plus Ryan Wintle.
We also have Chambers and Turnbull who ideally would go.
So that's 5 central midfielders. Then there's Robertson who I would have thought will be sold.
So Ralls and Ramsey both past their best and Rino who probably is at his best but is that really good enough.
We need new players. I dont think we should be giving deals out deals to the out of contract players.
Rinomhota has played his entire career so far at Championship level. He’s definitely good enough for League One.
Why do you think Robertson will be sold? And to who?
What would we do without speculation & fans who like to budget for the club.
Get a feckin manager in and let him decide.
I just think we are overloaded in midfield and could do with a couple of new players in there.Quote:

I'm not against him staying if we can shift under contract players out.
If Championship clubs think hes still good enough for that level then it's likely hes off anyway.
Robertson has had a poor season. However he's shown signs of talent and I just think there will be interest and clubs will recognise what an absolute shit show we are. Hes young with a possible sell on value if he can kick on. I think some club will make an offer.
Promoted club lower mid Championship club maybe.
Robertson is the most important part of our midfield. We should not, with the exception of a ludicrous offer, get rid of him under any circumstance.
Sell Turnbull, Chambers and probably Wintle. Don't keep Ramsey as a player, let alone at his current wage. That leaves us with Ralls, Robertson and J Colwill as core CM's. If anything, we might need another who can fit into a playmaking role, as well as a CDM for King backup, although Robertson, Ralls and Rinomhota can play CDM in a pinch.
I was a bit underwhelmed by Robertson to be honest. Much in the same way I was with Mannswerk too.Quote:
