Current players under contract for next season
GK [4]
Muric, Palmer, SLicker, Walton
FB [4]
Johnson, Townsend, Davis, H.Clarke
CB [3]
O'Shea, Greaves, Woolfenden
CM [3]
Humphreys, Taylor, Morsy
FWs [8]
J.Clarke, Philogene, Hutchinson, Szmodics, Ogbene, Chaplin, Broadhead, Burns
ST [3]
Delap, Al-Hamadi, Hirst
Total [25]
Out of Contract [5]
No option - Burgess & Tuanzebe
With an option - Harness, Baggott and Luongo
Loanees [4]
Godfrey, Phillips, Cajuste and Enciso
So starting position for next season is 34 players to deal with.
Make following assumptions:
All 4 loanees to return to parent clubs
Luongo, Harness and Baggott to not be part of squad next season
[Released/option taken and sold/option taken and loaned]
Takes us to 27 players
Goalkeepers
Don't need 4 senior keepers, guess we'd hope to only have 2 of those 4 with an U21 keeper as 3rd choice - i.e. sell Walton or Muric and loan out Slicker. Sign Pierce Charles from Sheff Weds, or promote Henry Gray.
FBs
Try and keep Tuanzebe, if we can't prob leave as is unless Davis goes
CBs
Try and keep Burgess, if not buy to replace. Potentially O'Shea too
CM
Potentially sell Taylor, see if Humphreys can play a part, but big overhaul needed
FWs
Broadhead to go? Last year of deal and won't play much. And then 1 in-1 out of we lose and Omari or a Jaden
STs
Sell Delap, try to sell Ali, Sign 1-2 players
Think it ends up with us needing 8 signings, may end up more if we trade a couple here or there too |  |

Woolfy is great, I love him in the team and was pleasantly surprised by his consistently up-to-standard performances in the Prem, but O'Shea's power and pace and commitment are proper PL standard, and I think we need to push the boat out to keep him if we're serious about going up and staying up next season. |
Agree with this, unless any clauses are hit and we have no choice I think we'll try to hang on/persuade our higher value players to stay.
Because once you sell one, it sends out the wrong message. Our best chance of going back up is next season. |  | | |
