2nd leg of the semi-final between Bolton and Barnsley (agg 3-1). I think Bolton will be at Wembley on Saturday 18th May.

That's a big squad!

That's a big squad!

21 remain with 15 leaving and you would expect at least another 7 or 8 will come in next year

Would Shayne Lavery be of any interest? 26 year old NI striker

Look more closely and then add on the players shown on the options exercised list. They finished the season with 38 players under contract (plus 4 expensive looking loanees). Only eleven plus the loanees are leaving. With one scholar offered a pro contract they already have 27 players under contract for next season and have offered a contract to another player.

If you add on the ones who they have activated an option on it's 27 and they are talking to one more as well. As Denzel says, that's a big squad! Of the squads announced so far they all seem to have larger than usual amounts already signed for next season. No really big clear outs from what I've seen, even from the clubs that were relegated. It's going to be difficult for agents to get the released players into new clubs on the sort of wages that they have been used too. I'm sure agents start conversations with " He's on this at the moment and we need a similar figure". I hope that this is met by "No, as of June 30th he's on 0 pounds, this is our wage structure, still interested?
