I'd be trying to retain the following from your N list: Carroll, Diabate, Mitchell, Sinisalo, Woods (Ryan!) and Harris. Not sure about Watts (has good qualities but his fitness has been a big issue) or Yanic, who I like and definitely adds guile and effectiveness down that left hand side but may be on too big a wage for an ageing, 60 minute player?!

Don't know enough about the youngsters but Jake Richards is a Y for sure.

And how much is your modern day Franz beckenbauer going to cost and is he going to be happy playing second fiddle to Will Aimson

I thought Hartridge was our Beckenbauer?

You've got the "was" bit right.

 

[Hants_red]

Will we hear next week?

 

[Billtong]

the list needs updating as player annnouncements have been made with regard to contract extentions.

 

[Devon Red]

Will we hear next week?

I wonder why we always seem to be late compared to everyone else.

I wonder why we always seem to be late compared to everyone else.

Probably because we are very transparent with our fans, particularly this year, where most of the "announcements" have been made already. in fact there is an argument we have already released our "retained list" just in a different format.

Well, this is true. We all know what it'll look like but still nice to see it released!

One factor holding us back may be the Demi Mitchell situation. It would be good for his fitness to get to a situation where we can say we have made him an offer. Until then the best we can say is 'we're thinking of making him an offer,depeending on recovery fitness etc.... and so technically he has been released until we make that offer.'

I think there is still a few interesting ones that we are all a little unsure on whats happening.
Harry Lee - has he even been offered a deal
Zak Jules - is the option of another year in our favour? Seems like we are trying to extend the deal anyway.
Tom Carroll - Will he be offered a deal or does he just want to get back to the London area
Demi Mitchell - We have said he has been offered a deal, but obviously as of now has not signed it
Caleb Watts - Has a 1 yr option. Will we utilize this.

I guess you could say that by not hearing anything yet, maybe none are staying but I'd be surprised and hope that is not the case.
