Retained List

Unai Emery has already said that Archer will be going back to Villa.
Think this is purely procedural based - Sure I read somewhere when all the points deduction stuff was ongoing that relegated teams aren’t officially confirmed until meeting of League in June which may explain why Archer is on retained list as of when list was submitted but once our relegation ratified by league then clause for Archers return will be activated as per contract between villa and ourselves
 
Exactly some in here especially Andy67 and Bladezz are claiming that it is a loan deal!
I’m actually starting to feel bad for you now mate. I’ve never seen someone be wrong so many times on a topic that is so simple. The worst thing is I don’t even care as when the transfer window opens he goes back according to absolutely everyone in football bar you and your pal.

It’s been explained to you numerous times as simply as possible. If you don’t understand it now then it’s just something you should ignore.
 
I doubt very much we impose deadlines - look at Berge & Ndiaye
That was a very different situation though, in the case of Berge and Ndiaye we were desperate to keep them so they had all the power and we waited until the last minute to try and keep hold of them (probably the wrong way to go about it as it dropped us in it with no time to replace them but not my point).

With the players we have offered contracts to/are in discussion with now we are not desperate for them, we would just prefer to have them next season as they are known entities. With the scale of the rebuild needed we need to know quickly if they will be around or not so we can plan on who to get in. Wilder said in an interview recently that they wouldn't be overly pushy with players but that there would be deadlines and they wouldn't let players drag their heels too much.
 
Considering McBurnie hasn't signed the contract yet, United are doing a good job of making him feel welcome.

His birthday yesterday, they tweeted an happy birthday message, then a 5mins highlight reel.

He has pretty much said publicly himself he isn't done here and has bickered with people on social media that are claiming he is going.

I think the bigger concerns on the contract front are Egan and Jebbo. I think Wilder expected those to be done by now.
 
A Davies
Egan
McBurnie
Jebbison

Few days to sign then? Dont think CW wants to wait about much longer with pre season starting soon.
 
Wes
Amissah
Basham
Lowe
Baldock
Norwood
Osborn

Holgate
Larouci
McAtee
BBD
Archer

12 players were down on and could be upto 16 if the OOC players don't resign like Osborn.
 

Mcburnie will sign, nobody else interested in him so rather than be unemployed he'll sign
I know a good friend of his. He’ll be going because the pay cut offered by the Blades is unacceptable to him. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he goes to Boro.
 
Everyone is in contract til the end of June - and just about everyone in football is on holiday at the minute, so i'd relax and wait for the first week in July when preseason starts and then it'll be clear whos at the club and who isnt
So.

1st July next week.

Let’s see exactly how shit our contract offers are when they get signed by players who are not as good as they think they are due to lack of alternative shit contract offers !!!

31 down to 15, with the club rumoured to be looking to cash in on at least another 3 (Anel, Grbic and Vinni). Of the 12 remaining, 3 have been perennial sick-notes, that leaves us with 9 players that we KNOW will be available for preseason and 4 of those are 20 or under.

Seriki, Buyabu, Hackford and Peck have all played In the first team. Boyes has played League football and will be 23 in November.

Yep and I included Seriki Bayabu and Hackford in the first iteration of this post, but since then the club announced The Retained List and omitted those players from any formal mention, so I followed suit.
 
I suspect preseason hype will be minimal to nil, today and for most of this week.

I.e. hardly anyone in, no note of new training gear. So, keep it low key. Slow takeover, delayed recruitment as a result, same owd Errea punctuality.

Wonder if the four - Davies, Egan, McBurnie and Jebbison will be training with us?!? I mean, I doubt it...
