Happy NGW is retained, as I think he'll do a good job in League One next season; Mbengue would be another I'd love to keep. I'm content with Hoilett staying another year, although I do wonder if he'll go to an MLS club instead of signing a new deal with us; he'll certainly do a job for a season in League One though.
Very surprised we're offering Meite a new deal, as I would've thought his wages would've been higher than what we could afford in League One. That said we offered new deals to Rinomhota, Laurent and Swift at the end of last season, so doesn't mean he'll actually be staying if a better offer comes his way. He would be one of the best players in League One next season if he does stay (and can stay fit).
We knew Joao, Moore and Long were going, with Dann not being a surprise at all. Disappointed Tetek and Southwood are leaving; hadn't realised it had been as long as eighteen months since Tetek last played. I feel Southwood would've been a very good keeper for League One, but with Andresson, Bouzanis and (possibly) CBC as keepers, we probably couldn't justify offering a new deal.
