- Sone Aluko
Sam Baldock
Ethan Bristow
Ryan East
Tom McIntyre
Michael Morrison
Thierry Nevers
Jayden Onen
Oliver Pendlebury
Omar Richards
Sam Smith
Luke Southwood
Dejan Tetek
Sam Walker
Tennai Watson
Of the above we’re told the club are talking to McIntyre and Richards (though it will probably take quite something to persuade Omar to turn down any definite interest from Bayern Munich) while I expect that Aluko, Baldock, East, Smith, Walker and Watson to all be released.
Of the remainder I would expect the younger professionals; Bristow, Nevers, Tetek, Pendlebury, Southwood and Onen to be offered something while I reckon Morrison is definitely worth at least another year.
I also think it’s worth highlighting the senior professionals out of contract in 2022 as the club will hopefully have them on the radar this year. These players are:
- Felipe Araruna
Tom Holmes
Josh Laurent
Mark McNulty
Michael Olise
Rafael
Andy Rinomhota
John Swift
Andy Yiadom
Think we can all work out the obvious priorities from that list, and, overall a very busy time for the club to plan ahead, just hope it isn’t left too long before starting to talk to key players.
