Contracts

[Pepe the Horseman]

Who is OOC in the summer?

Blackman
Williams
Gunts(?)
HRK(?)
Fosu(?)
Samuel(?)

[RG30]

Fosu signed new 2 year deal IIRC

[Royal Ginger]

Samuel signed a 3 year contract in September so is good until 2018

Cox goes at the end of this season and I think maybe Kuhl too?

[Pepe the Horseman]

That's good. For some reason I though Fosu and Samuel only signed one year extensions.

[SCIAG]

Definitely expiring:
Gunter
Ferdinand
HRK
Blackman
Cox
Jake Taylor
Aaron Kuhl
Griffin
Long
Dickie
Hyam
Owusu
Husin
Lawal
Watson
Urbancic and Vastuk (!)
and all the loanees

Probably but not confirmed:
Sweeney
Moore
Ward
Legg
Kelly
Jules
Sammi
Shaughnessy
Collins
and most of the second-year scholars (believe Barrett is the only one who has publicly signed a new contract)

[maffff]

Everything I have is in here, unless anyone knows anything different;

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

With squad numbers:
Gunter, Ferdinand, Hyam, Long, Griffin, Robson-Kanu, J.Taylor, Kuhl, Kelly, Cox, Blackman,

Loans:
Hector, A.Taylor, Piazon, Fernandez, John, Vydra,

Youth (if any haven't already left):
Collings, Southwood, Tupper, Dickie, Owusu, Watson, Husin, Lawal, Urbancic, Vastsuk.

We signed Williams for 4 years, so contract runs until 2017.

SCIAG knows most of the youth better than I do so that's better than anything I have, although I'm pretty sure Sweeney got more than a year.

[Sutekh]

Dont actually think I'd be worried if any of that lot left. Really it's only the youngsters like Kuhl, Dickie and Long that would be concerning, just on the basis you don't know how they'll progress

[SCIAG]

Waritay, Ethelston and Thompson-Lee have been released already.

Most of my information just came from mafff's document. I have no useful information about Sweeney or Moore or any of the other "maybes" but just going from past patterns I'd be a little surprised if they got more than a year.

I think we'll tie Kuhl down sooner rather than later. Hopefully Ward, Dickie and Hyam too, but it wouldn't be a disaster if they left. Then Husin and Sheppard would be nice, but it depends how they do on loan or how much U21 game time they get - don't want them (hypothetically) blocking out more promising younger players.

[wingnut]

Would not be surprised if Kuhl is not offered a new deal.

Nowhere near the first team at the moment, pretty unsuccessful loan. Needs to turn it round asap, imho.

Very comprehensive but a couple of additions.

I think Novakovich also expires next summer unless it has been extended.

Also as well as Barrett Osho signed to 2018 and Rimonhota to 2017.

Shepherd signed until 2017 if I recall rightly.

Agree that Kuhl will most likely get another year - especially bearing in mind his dad is MK. Or he might have already extended prior to the loan to the SPL but it has not been announced.

[Royalwaster]

Releasing Gunter would be a mistake ... not that I rate him, but I think he'd command a fee.

[Royal_jimmy]

Ferdinand is and I think Williams might be too?

[Wycombe Royal]

Ferdinand is and I think Williams might be too?

Williams signed a 4 year deal when he joined in the summer of 2013.

[John Smith]

I'd have Anton Ferdinand leave the club tomorrow if I could.

[ZacNaloen]

Kuhl is hoping to go out on Loan again, can see him getting another year offered at least.

[paultheroyal]

Gunter - keep
Ferdinand - keep
HRK - bye
Blackman - gone
Cox - bye
Jake Taylor - bye
Aaron Kuhl - bye

[maffff]

Keep - Gunter, Hyam, Kuhl, A.Taylor^, Dickie, John^
Unsure - Long, Griffin, Kelly, Fernandez^, Vydra^,
Leave - Ferdinand*, Robson-Kanu, J.Taylor, Cox, Hector+, Piazon+

* Could be swayed for one more year (if fit, no suitable replacement brought in and Cooper/McShane remain first choice)
^ at end of loan
+End loan early

Of the youths I've only really heard anything about the keepers Southwood is an England youth international and meant to be decent. Tupper seems to be getting good reviews too.

I'd expect Vastsuk to leave.
Conor O'Shaughnessy feels like he's been rattling around forever in CM but doesn't ever progress or stand out, if his contract is up I think we have better youths between him and the first team?
How's Liam Kelly getting on? Always seemed alright but I just can't imagine him ever breaking through..
