Thanks for that DG.

Jeez....53,  3 of which have been offered new contracts, plus 3 scholars with contract offers. It appears to me that we urgently need to cut down on our playing staff to get rid of some of the wage bill, not sure what our total wage bill is and how close we are sailing to the wind in terms of FFP. Surprisingly Mahrez doesn't seem to haver been offered an improved contract...discus

Thanks again DG, but what that doesn't tell us is what our wages bill is or how close we are to the £67M "Sword of Damocles" that hangs over every clubs head (well, the non top 6 clubs anyway)

[Tuna]

Can't believe we actually offered Hamer a deal.

What is this ‘£67M’ thing, I saw it mentioned somewhere else. But I’ve not heard of it before?

Along way to go, but still need to get rid of the dead wood.

And that's without the 2 new signings. 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

 

Who’s on the not retained list then?

 

Hamer...

[foxes21]

Josh Gordon extended his contract then. 

 

Surely he needs to go out on loan now to L1 or the championship?

Probably still be here when he’s 28 playing u23s preventing an actual promising player making a breakthrough.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Some quality names there.

Dylan Bollard, I've heard he's solid but not very mobile. The club also obviously want to take a closer look at Myring. 

[Clever Fox]

We really need to move out about 10 more from that list who have no real future with us.

 

The likely problem is going to be the salaries they are on with us, But we need to get it sorted as I'm sure it holding up other targets we're after.

Leonardo Ulloa, Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson, Christian Fuchs, Yohan Benalouane, Shinji Okazaki all have their contracts ending next year (summer 2019) so we are going to loose a big chunk our squad. 

 

+ Andy King, Amartey, mendy, Marc Albrignton & Jamie Vardy who's contract ends in 2020. I assume riyads and Kaspers are the same.

Ughelumba  will finish up "oompalumpa" on FT for sure

Eppiah and Darnell Johnson have been offered a new contract but haven't yet extended, do I understand that right?

Leicester City's retained list shows three professionals released
Robert Huth joined by two young pros on released list as under-23s players offered new deals

ByJordan Blackwell
12:23, 9 JUN 2018UPDATED12:27, 9 JUN 2018

Robert Huth has been joined by two young professionals on Leicester City’s released list.

It was announced last month that veteran centre-back Huth would be let go by City upon the conclusion of his contract this summer.

All Premier League clubs have now released their retained lists, showing two further professionals have not been offered new deals at the King Power Stadium.

Left-back Josh Debayo will leave the club after two seasons. The 21-year-old made just two appearance for the under-23s last season.

Central midfielder Dylan Watts has also been let go. Another 21-year-old, Watts has been on loan at Bohemians in his native Ireland since January, having also made just two appearances for City’s under-23s in the campaign just gone.

The retained list confirms that striker Josh Gordon has signed a new deal at the club after an impressive season leading the line for the high-flying under-23s.

Fellow under-23s regulars Josh Eppiah, Connor Wood and Darnell Johnson have also been offered new contracts, although they’re yet to commit to the club.

Johnson’s future is particularly in doubt, with the defender, a European Under-19 Championship winner with England last year, set to leave the club. He is looking to pursue a career at centre-back, rather than the right-back role he's offered given at City.

The retained list also confirms that City offered a new contract to Ben Hamer before the goalkeeper’s free transfer to Huddersfield.

Among City’s scholars, George Heaven and Joszef Keaveny have extended their deals, while Kairo Edwards-John, Khanya Leshabela, Calvin Ughelumba and academy player of the season Conor Tee have received offers.

Fellow scholars Morgan Brown, Thomas Fielding, Rubyn Gill, Sim Thandi and Cam Yates have left the club.

Yes which is even more reason we need to move them out now. I'd also let King and Mendy go.+ possibly James and Jakupovic. 

Mendy has been unfortunate with his injury, But I just don't think he's physical enough. I would keep Amartey I still think if handled right he'll be a great player for us. and Puel is probably the best Manager to help him.

my own view is that we should have 16/17 first teamers and use the Development squad to back them up. This would give the Manager less headaches, While offering an opportunity for the Development squad to progress into the first team.

A win win all round for everyone..

I agree. But similar to Everton (they have Ashley Williams, Bolasie etc on £60-100k p/w) they are impossible to shift as they wont get anything like the money they are on here.

Yes, The salaries can be more problematic than the Transfer fees. and that's one of the big  problems. Which is why we should offer a low basic but made up by appearances, wins , draws and league position.  

 

Question ?, Does anyone know the structure of our Contracts.

[mozartfox]

Looking at this list, the Forestry Commission would be challenged by this amount of dead-wood that needs clearing.  Hopefully, we can ship out some even if it means mutually agreeing to cancel contracts.  You can see the size of the problem Puel has on his hands, not to mention the theory that some of the old school allegedly influence the selection of the defense.

Can't imagine they are perfomance based judging on some of our perfomances over the last two seasons 

[Molson Canadian]

I thought Sim Thandi was a highly rated prospect in the academy, wonder why he was let go? Featured for the England u-17's I believe a few times.

Yes, which makes it all so baffling why we don't make them performance based. The Fees are less of a problem as they're usually spread over 3,4,5 years

and are usually covered in most cases by selling on.

It's trying to get players to accept lower salaries if going to a lower club is the real problem. Which is why Clubs usually end up paying some of the salary after the player leaves.
