Popped this elsewhere

Out of contract 2027
King
Iroegbunam
McNeil
Patterson
Alcaraz
Beto

Out of contract 2028
Armstrong
Tarkowski
O'Brien

Surely we start getting extensions sorted before a bunch of sales in the summer.

King - who knows?

Think McNeil, Beto, Patto will all be sold. Probably Alcaraz too, Moyes doesn't seem to rate him.

Tim possibly renewed or sold.

Tie down O'brien and Armstrong to long term deals. Tarks possible short term extension for squad cover if needed but should be bringing through new youth signings if possible.

Agreed. I hope we Extend Tims contract - really like him

Yep me too, only young and definitely a player in there, needs to hopefully add consistency and continue to improve.

Extend Tim, Patterson (Hello @davek) Alcaraz, Armstrong and Jake.

Just my opinion.

Grealish aside, all of this needs to happen in 4 months time.

 

[vincevega]

Coleman = into staff
Michael Keane = 1 year extension as squad player
Gueye = lay off
Grealish = will probably be loaned again for 1 year
Mykolenko = extend contract as a squad player

The 3 Irish flags, add in Rice and we could have had a much better side... What could have been, could have qualified for a tournement and they would have won just as many tounrments playing for Ireland.

You're pining for Michael Keane in your national team?

He'd have been better than other options over the years.

I think it looks like a real upgrade and solid transfer window, especially when you remove goalkeepers and players who played less than 45 minutes all season (Holgate, Chermiti, Maupay). Below also shows minutes for those departed, so we’ve not lost a ton of minutes. Doucs and Harrison were the only players near starting XI territory and both were significantly upgraded.

Players purchased so far: 7
Aznou
Rohl
Alcaraz
KDH
Grealish
Dibling
Barry

Players culled so far: 7
Young (1875)
Mangala (1261)
Doucs (2564)
Harrison (2076)
Lindstrom (1239)
DCL (1609)
Broja (334)

Our new signings have been impressively underutilized. Aznou, Rohl, Dibling barely had a sniff, and same for Alcaraz who has also had injury niggles. KDH, Barry and Grealish all played a lot though the latter obviously injured for half the season…
