POSSIBLE DEPARTURES (anyone really but these are the most likely): Mannone (perm Jan 2020 after loan return), Walker, Jaakkola (ooc), McShane (ooc), O’Shea (retiring), Gravenberch, Richards (loan), Gunter (50:50 on him), Kelly (loan, although Courtney Friday is reporting he might leave for a cut price deal), Meyler, Van Den Berg, Harriott (ooc), Popa, Bodvarsson (50:50 on him as well), Baldock, McNulty, Smith (loan or perm), House (loan)
May have accidentally missed some players out, looks a pretty comprehensive list though.
LOAN PLAYERS RETURNING TO THEIR PARENT CLUBS: Martinez, Miazga, Baker, Ezatolahi, Ejaria, Oliveira
We may also look to get people out who are on ‘Gourlay contracts’, regardless of their value to the team.
That’s a lot of possible departures, could be a very good way of clearing wages off the books. Will be interesting to see how easy/difficult it will be getting these players out though.
