Jed Steer is also out of contract in the summer, and a bunch of our u23s, including, Harry McKirdy, Easah Suliman, Callum O’Hare, Kelsey Mooney, Mitchell Clark, Harvey Knibbs, and Jacob Bedeau.
I think it will be time for a big clear out, can't see anybody getting a new contract, fresh starts for everybody!

Re: Bruce's time
Not only are a lot of players coming to the end of their contracts this summer but also we will have a lot of players who will only have one year left on their deals, including - Elmohamady, Bjarnason, Adomah, Chester, Kodjia, Gardner, Hourihane, Tshibola, Davis, Green, Hepburn-Murphy, and Doyle-Hayes - so a number of those will probably be sold as well.

Green can't even get into the Portsmouth side as I noticed he was on the bench for them, a complete overall is required to increase the quality of our youth.

I wonder why. I mean they're doing really well, top of the league and did that without Green because he arrived there and almost immediately went off for an operation. I can't imagine it's because he's not good enough, more that their squad is working and there's little point disrupting it. But if anyone knows any different it would be interesting to find out.

As far as I'm aware our academy has a catergory one status, to get that you need to be deemed to be offering first class facilities, coaching, education, and welfare... But before the takeover in the summer we were about to be downgraded, despite the fact that Round was meant to have made big improvements... Presumably the new regime have convinced the authorities not to downgrade us, and have promised to take steps to put things right.
When you look at it, over the years we have produced a lot of players that have been successful in the top two divisions, off the top of my head there's... Clark, Baker, Cahill, Lichaj, Hogg, Bannan, Albrighton, Johnson, Robinson, Weimann, Grealish, Sturridge, Whittingham, the Gardners, Agbonlahor, Graham and others... Not exactly superstars, but a lot of those would get in our team at the moment...
What is noticable though, is that all those will have graduated a while back now, Grealish and Robinson are the youngest, and they're both 23, since those two we haven't really produced anyone who's made much of an impact, so we definitely need to improve.
