Gutted for Sol, surprised at Bennett and what the hell was the point in bringing Jonny Williams in?
https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news...-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.
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
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
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'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.
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).
Joe Bennett signs for Middlesbrough, short odds.
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

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