A bit early, but we have an outgoing already......

https://www.htafc.com/news/2024/april/lo...-republic/

Kieran Philips has gone to Sacramento on loan.

I can't believe we still have him on the books.

[theo_luddite]

One way of getting him fit over the Summer. We'll have most of July and August to decide what to do with him, they may even buy him.

No major surprises there, most are in the retained list. Of course, there's "retained" and there's "available at the right price" in the "retained" list. With the right motivation the retained lot could do a useful job in League 1, but it wouldn't surprise me if a slack handful left and a similar number arrived.

Don’t forget we have also transfer listed 13 players, no names given though

[jjamez]

Is it thirteen that's been transfer listed? I read it more that 30 released with offers willing to be entertained on the suspects in Thomas, headley kasumu and rudoni.

Seen mentioned that Nichols wants to leave for personal reasons and I'd imagine people like harratt would be for sale.

I imagine that we want to keep Pearson, helik, lees, and then the likes of Healey up top. Didn't Cartwright mentions 16 players or was he just pulling a number out of his arse?

I reckon we will see the return of Williams though from barnsley

[theo_luddite]

With clubs in our situation, everyone is potentially on the transfer list for the right money. We have a habit of giving good players away for peanuts, wonder if Kevin the Gerbil will continue in this vein. It would be nice if those that are going to go would be snapped up early, so we can go fishing for replacements asap but there will be some clubs that are interested but will wait until the last minute so they save a month or two of a players wages (like it makes much difference over a 2-3 year contract) and think we'll drop our drawers (we gernerally do) to get rid of a bad apple or two.

.... and breathe

[WakeyTerrier]

Jay Rodiguez (sp?) and Jack Cork have been spoken to

[Lord Snooty]

Rudoni to Coventry for two million, according to somebody on Twitter.

But tonight he's on stage with Neil Warnock at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

[Lord Snooty]

Luton and Coventry both in talks with Sorba Thomas with a bid of around five million pounds.

Yeah right!
