Retained and released list

I'm surprised about Kean Bryan. He doesn't stand out as a LCB, LWB, LB and certainly not a CB. I'd rate Jack Robinson slightly better as a 'filler' for all these positions.

I hope the terms offered are commensurate to what a 3rd choice, Championship squad filler would get. If he gets better terms elsewhere, his agent has played a blinder.
 




Following the conclusion of the 2020/21 campaign, Sheffield United's official retained and released lists have been submitted.

Phil Jagielka, John Lundstram, Simon Moore and Jack Rodwell will depart the club when their contracts expire this summer, as will youngsters Ashton Hall and Tommy Williams.

Ethan Ampadu will return to his parent club, Chelsea, following his season-long loan.

The club wishes all the departing players best wishes for their future endeavours and would like to thank them for their service to Sheffield United.

Meanwhile, Kean Bryan has been offered new terms.
Yesssss.. fuck off lunwank you absolute thundercunt.
 
No huge surprises, god knows what will become of Rodwell after this, not that he'll be short of a few quid.

Plenty of gas in the tank for Simon Moore, hopefully he gets a regular gig around League One for the next 5 years or so, still got a lot to offer at that level.

Screw Lundstram, bad advice or not, he's his own man and if he ever resurfaces for an away team at the Lane in the future, I look forward to hearing the reception he gets.

Shame for Jags' career to end on such a sour note. If the rest of the squad have half the career he did, they'll have done extremely well.

Big Slav is a big fan of the Webster family in Corrie.
 
I'm amazed more haven't been released given last years appalling efforts.

Probably because these that have gone don't get us any money and are free agents.
More may go but these will be ones still under contract and we will aim to get them sold.

Although we hardly had a playable squad left as it is so need some players for pre-season games. 🤣
 
I love Jags but I’m beginning to think he might be a jinx.

You could be right, but for who?

That debut date means he's gone an entire career and never started a game when our dear South Barnsley neighbours have been in the top flight. If only he could play until he was 60.
 



Doubt were paying up contracts.

If the player in question is happy to settle for a lump sum that is less than the remaining value of the contract, and we perceive there to be no way to get another club to pay more than what we'd save (be that via a transfer or loan), then it makes sense to do so if a player isn't in SJ's plans. Otherwise it's pointless to do so

This is the released/retained list and solely relates to players whose contracts expire on June 30th this year. There are only 5 on that list and four have been released. Not sure we could have asked for more really.

Now Jack Robinson is back I'm surprised too. I presume its not a Jokanovic decision as he's not seen him play live
 
Personally feel a bit sorry for Lunny. Yes he's an adult and should have more about him, but he obviously took some shitty advice from his agent and then decided to stick to his guns - Just look at Duffy's experience to see where JL's career could go.... Wilder and Hecky both, repeatedly, stated that Lunny was the consummate professional around the club. Just managed to paint himself into a corner and never hit those Fantasy League highs of 2019/20. Not bothered he's gone mind as his performance levels have continued to tail off over this season.
consumate profesional are they having a laugh was clear from that opening challenge after 2 minutes against wolves that he was not going to put any effort in and he didnt every game he played absolute rubbish good riddance to the bloke just hope he comes back as a player for an opposing team in front of a packed lane 🤨🤨

More than likely been offered reduced terms, reminded that his PL games came because of injuries to JOC and Robinson, and viewed as a more viable cover than someone in the U23s, that said a contract means sod all, come August or January could find himself on the transfer list with 5 or 6 others
 
I enjoyed his cameo vs Burnley. In all seriousness he's only 30 and he's pretty much finished (I await the Antti Niemi jokes)
He’s no finished...

That’s about it for him now. If he’d been able to keep fit he’d have got some games at the back end of the season to show that he could still perform at a decent level. But he wasn’t. So, now he’ll be hoping someone like Joey Barton takes pity on him and gives him a contract at a lower league club. In about five years there’ll be a small article about him filing for bankruptcy when the reality of not earning football money kicks in.
 



To be honest I'm a bit sad that Jags is released. Because when we sold him back in 07 he said he would be back to finish his career at the Lane. Just bad timing I guess to retire at such a time, in such a dismal season :(.

Hopefully he'll stay connected to the club in one way or another.
