Player News Retained List 24/25

Who is out of contract this summer.

 

[tonyw]

We don't know, do we? Because of Ed Waldron and his 'undisclosed contract length' policies. Killjoy that he is, ruining our speculation threads.......

 

[yellowbow]

Does Harris have another year?

 

[Eric Blair]

I will miss Josh McEachran’s teeth

 

[Scotchegg]

I believe that it's;

Loans - Nelson, Matos

Out of Contracted - Eastwood, Knightbridge, McEachran.

Brown, Bennett, Leigh and (I think) Thorniley and Ingram all have a +1 year option that may or not be taken up.

 

[TigerDriver]

Gosh had to look up who Knightbridge is! What a tough gig being a goalie is (apart from prem no 13s)

 

[Nadi-]

Loans - Nelson, Matos

Out of Contracted - Eastwood, Knightbridge, McEachran.

Brown, Bennett, Leigh and (I think) Thorniley and Ingram all have a +1 year option that may or not be taken up.

Local paper in 23 said Brown signed till the end of season 25/26 whether that’s including an option?

When does the summer transfer thread open?

Nice one here:

Glad to see some players have same agency, so will be more easy to negotiation if we want extend or try make them permanent. Like Ben Nelson and Alex Matos represent by Wasserman

 

[Paul Cannell]

Won't get Nelson. Might stretch to Matos as a replacement for Brannagan & Vaulks in time, with some other new midfielders.

See if Ed & Gaz can make a plan, eh?

His last season at Wellington, he was injury prone. So the perfect signing.

 

[RyanioBirdio]

The good news is that we’ve got Stuart Findlay tied down for one more season.

 

[uptheus]

The good news is that we’ve got Stuart Findlay tied down for one more season.

If he’s tied down at least he won’t be playing!!

 

[SteMerritt]

The good news is that we’ve got Stuart Findlay tied down for one more season.

Is it his final season? We'd better get on with the contract negotiations now then, he'll be free to speak to other teams in January.

 

[holdsteady]

Will he be on loan at Kilmarnock or will he fancy something more adventurous, Motherwell perhaps, change is as good as a rest.

 

[Coffin Dodger]

Could be, that Rowett rates him and he becomes a player for us.

 

[Coffin Dodger]

And back in the room.

 

[holdsteady]

Could be, that Rowett rates him and he becomes a player for us.

I doubt he knows who he is.

I doubt Harris, Rodrigues and any player signed in the last two years know who he is, which is weird as he has been at the club for nearly 3 seasons.

 

[Reynolds97]

JM out of contract and going to Burton. Nelson signing for Chelsea in the summer from Leicester can see him going Southampton or somewhere on loan.

 

[OtteryYellow]

I don't think we need a huge investment in the summer in terms of numbers, more a step up in quality through the spine. A quality replacement for nelson (probably another lower premier loan) a get it and give it midfielder who is a level above vaulks and a striker who can make it stick up front. Many of the rest of the squad have shown they aren't out of their depth at this level and could easily advance again with that stronger spine.

Personally I would be happy to see god return for the early part of the season as I think he has made good strides in a poor rovers team.

I'd consider GOD as he wouldn't count towards the squad, but only as a fourth striking option. Tyler will count towards the squad next season.

Agree, I wasn't suggesting he will be the main man at all but I keep the hope that one day he could be

 

[OX14]

We need to sign a couple of players on permanents who won't count towards the squad cap. Matos being one of them.

 

[Big mac]

I think we need some real quality out on the wings

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I think we need:
LB
RB
CB
CDM
LW
RW
2x CF

Release:
McEachran, Eastwood (coaching role), Knightsbridge, Thorniley
Sell/loan:
El Mizouni, Rodrigeus, Sibley, Goodwin, Phillips, 1 of Bradshaw or Harris

 

[Jster]

Why release Knightbridge? Wasn't he signed as one for the future?

Can't argue with that.
I'd like to see us get a creative midfielder in... someone like Ruben, who can create something out of nothing with great vision, but not as slow on the ball as he is. We've been missing that creative spark in recent weeks.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Why release Knightbridge? Wasn't he signed as one for the future?

You would hope for a bit more than lasting just 2 games when loaned out to a National league side if he is one for the future. Especially when no other club has opted to take him on loan since.

 

[TobyDavis34]

Who's contract is actually up this summer? Like, is Phillips on a 2 year or 1 year deal?

 

[Jaboysmith]

Phillips has a year left, thank god too, coming into his own late in the year, similar to a Josh Murphy 2 years ago.
