All the announced departures now leave us with a squad of:

Ryan Strain
Vicko Sevelj
Ross Graham
Kristijan Trapanovski
Will Ferry
Richard Odada
Jack Newman (not announced in the releases surprisingly)
Craig Sibbald
Glenn Middleton
Kai Fotheringham
Jort van der Sande
Dave Richards
Rory MacLeod (Nothing Announced on him either, doubt Southampton take up their option)
Miller Thomson
Lewis O’Donnell
Samuel Cleall-Harding
Scott Constable
Owen Stilton
Meshack Ubochioma

Lots and lots of work to do, I’d start by trying to bin van der Sande, Odada, Meshack and Fotheringham. None of them have shown anywhere near enough to prove they’re capable of playing at the level we need.

VDS should be able to find a club back in Dutch football despite his barren goal record here. Fotheringham you’d imagine would be of interest to most Championship sides based on his goal record in the division we were down there. Meshack and Odada I reckon will be the harder ones to move on. Meshack’s attitude sounds terrible based on what I’ve Davie Martindale say about him, and where is he realistically gonna get a deal as good as he likely has here? Odada sounds like his attitude is fine but just looks like he’s never seen a football pitch in his life and is struggling to even get games in Serbia. Might just be a case of having to cut our losses on the pair of them and paying up their contracts.

I would keep 

Strain
Sevelj
Graham
Trapa
Ferry
Thomson
O'Donnell
Harding
Constable
Stirton


rest can be free to find another club

 

Just read the squad update from the club and no mention of Campbell ?

He's in there.
Former Barcelona starlet and North Macedonian international David Babunski leaves with our best wishes, a crucial member of the squad during the opening months of the campaign, as does fellow midfielder Allan Campbell - who arrived on a short-term deal from Luton Town in January.

Amazed Jack Newman isn't on the released list. 

Surely he has no future at the club. Been on loan for two years and barely played.

 Yeah it's not that easy to just release players who have a contract though. Also id be keeping Sibbald and Middleton,plus Richards has done nothing wrong either.

P.s. it very much sounds like Jack Walton definitely won't be back.

I noticed United mentioned him challenging for Luton no.1 jersey.
 

 
His post on Instagram to the fans said “enjoy the European tour” so I’m taking that as confirmation that he’s away.

As soon as Luton got relegated I feared they’d want him back for League One. He’s seemingly on about 10k a week down there, so he’d be daft to give up half a million pound to come back up here permanently.

A good keeper and obviously well liked in the dressing room and did a lot behind the scenes with the academy goalkeepers, but he’s not irreplaceable. As we all know though, it’s 100% the most important position we need to get right this summer.

Heard whispers that we might be after the guy Fisher who was on loan at St. Johnstone and was highly rated there. St. Johnstone fans all reckon they wouldn’t have gotten relegated if they’d had him in from the start of the season.

No word on kai - do we presume hes got an offer on the table? Not sure hes been involved enough this season to warrant it and mo longer in the young players category for me.

Decent player and decent lad by all accounts - not sure how mich more he will develop.

seems jim only wants him to track back and chase shadows against the ugly sisters

Yeah I mentioned nothing about releasing them. Telling them they are free to find another club is totally different.

Knowing they are of no use lets their agent alert other clubs making it easier to get rid.

 Worked a treat with Birighitti if I remember correctly? The point I'm making is that they don't have to go anywhere and if no one wants to pay them what we are then they'll still be here.

Shipped out to Killie on loan? probably a % of wage saved? I know this, but letting clubs know they are available gives us an advantage on getting rid and gives the player and agent scope to explore new options.
