There’s plenty IMO if you want to be super objective and also proactive in terms of transforming this list.

J.Davey
Trade Bait
Shiel
Stringer

Perkins
Hobbs

That’s about half the list you could potentially delist or have involved in trade discussions. Of course there’s no way you’re getting rid of all those in the one off-season, but if you delist 3/4 of the guys named there and trade even 2-3 of the trade bait there’s 10+ list changes, if you were so inclined. Unfortunately we are very, very conservative in how we approach these things so I anticipate we will run it back next season with minimal change…
I find this an incredibly stupid list. If you want to rebuild it’s all the wrong players. If you want to continue pushing (like the club appears to) it is silly. And if you want to refresh it’s the wrong players and too many as well.
