Surprised we can't make room for Sincs. Probably undone by his injury history.

Less out of contract players than we all thought then. Six senior players so unless we get rid of anyone under contract who GC doesn't want, then there wont be too many new players coming in.

Lines, Lockyer and Leadbitter all leaving does free up a decent amount of wages if the rumours are to be believed.

Surprised Sercombe isn't out of contract, which is great news.
Now is the time to try sign him on for another year before he goes for free next summer!
Happy with the list but I'm disappointed Partington is there. If we're keeping him on low wages/back up then fine.
Sinclair is upsetting but he isn't good enough anymore. Shame we can't keep him in a coaching capacity (if he would want it). He'd be the perfect fitness coach, no doubt

Surely a role can be found for Sinclair somewhere within the club, whether it's in a fitness role or Community role?

No real surprises in there but it does show we are in for a big summer in terms of recruitment with a lot of the first team squad on their way.
Disappointed to see Sinclair go but is probably the right decision. Partington is the strange one for me but as long as he as seen as back up then I am not overly worried.
Don't know why Mensah or Matthews are't included on the list of loan players returning. Assume they are both still under contract?
