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.Originally Posted by MOZZER2
Might be able to glean a bit from the players' own social media accounts before then.
if you go by that Ralls is staying !
i wonder who made that call with no manager in place
Yep, talking in the future tense.
Yes, looks that way doesn't it.
Meite meanwhile has made a comment to Willock on Instagram about missing him, so looks like he's on his way. No surprise there.
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.
I'd hoped he would be the only one to stay from those who are out of contract.
Deboys probably.
I wouldn't retain any of them. None of them were good enough to hold down a place last season.
He's out of contract so won't be.
Isnt this retained list pretty meaningless as it only shows those under contract. There will be a few on there I'm sure wed free if we could.
Rino probably won't be on it but could still sign on.
How do you know?
Meite is going to get a 10 year deal then
I'm pretty sure we could offer Meite a 20 year deal and he would still be gone. I fully expect him to be a Reading player again soon.
Been widely reported his deal runs out. Obviously that could be wrong.
his current deal does run out, but we might have offered him another one.
I believe Goutas had been offered a deal at one point, but he was waiting until the summer to decide what to do. and since then he massively fell out of favour also, so perhaps that offer has been rescinded anyway.
Depends what Paddy up his sleeve. The mastermind behind such signings as Jesper Daland, Wilfried Kanga and Ethan Horvarth has his ways
It appears you haven’t actually read the posts you were responding to.
Yeah read back now 👍
Ramsey & Rinomhota would be my guesses
Maybe Evans?
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!
If Ralls was to stay as well, you'd have two injury prone midfielders who would be in and out of the side. They'd guarantee there'd be no continuity in midfield.
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.
We don’t have a manager to make the decisions, so we are probably left with Dalman et al chipping in their opinions.
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?
