McGree/LW
ST/Latte Lath
Dijksteel - Ben Johnson?
McNair - Charlie Cresswell or Nathan Wood?
Howson - Josh Brownhill?
Barlaser - Ardon Jashari or academy
Crooks - no idea*
Greenwood - Micah Hamilton?
Hoppe - Ajay Matthews**
*we must have some academy assist kings on the horizon! who? tho
**plus a nother.. the German Cameron Archer?
who fits in that number 10? Finn Azaz backed up by an academy lad?
Maybe we’ve got more academy ladds coming through that we might think!
Smith, Bangura, McNair, Dijksteel, Barlaser, Howson, Crooks, Coburn, Hoppe,
Greenwood, Gilbert, Silvera not listed - that's a lot of outgoings, but its perhaps what we need. Keep the spine, the real quality and then refresh those on the edge of the first team.
Dijksteel/Smith/Ayling - I think we keep hold of 1 and go out for a proper RB.
New signing required.
Bangura - If a club comes in for him i think we'd let him go
McNair - Release him. I can see an academy player being used here, the backup to Clarke, Fry, VDB...
Barlaser - I think he stays but cover needed.
New signing required.
Howson - I've give him 1 more year but a major
new signing required.
Crooks -
New signing required.
Coburn - Good enough for a spot in the squad, but starter I'm not sure.
New signing required.
Hoppe - I don't even register him as a player anymore but we need 2 new strikers
Greenwood - I think he'll stay at Leeds, leaves McGree back with Silvera as cover?
Gilbert - Loan him out
Silvera - Not seen enough, don't think he's done too much wrong to play a part.
Others:
Coulson - Will probably leave
O'Brien - Not sure. I think MC likes him but i don't like what I've seen so far. Don't really think we've seen the best of him and wish we'd tried a bit harder to keep Mowatt if that was even a possibility.
Sol Brynn - Who knows
Zach Hemming - As above
Liam Roberts - probably leaves, i can't see much changing in the GK situation next year with Dieng no1, Glover no2 and Jones the experienced no3
Bilongo - Could play a bigger role next year if we need CB cover and we let Coulson and/or another LB go. If we try to keep Thomas if he does well and let 1 of Bangura/Engel go, Bilongo is an option here
U21 to step up?
Joe Gibson 22, Isaac Fletcher 21, Cain Sykes 21, Terrell Agyemang 21, Jack Hannah 21, Pharrel Willis 20, Sam Collins 20, George Gitau 20, Frankie Whelan 20, Daniel Nkrumah 20, Ben Beals 20, Fenton John 20.
No idea if any are anywhere near ready to be the next Hackney. There'll be someone else with far greater knowledge than me but those above 20-21yr old if they're not knocking on the door to be in and around the first team squad next year you'd think they'll be moving on in some capacity.
Off the top of my head you'd imagine Gibson, Agyemang and Nkrumah will have hopes to break through or get the chance to go out on a fairly high profile loan - especially as their positions are all spots we're looking at in the summer.
PS, that took ages.
